You bet ;-)

No, it's really easy. Like I said, I made a template page and just reuse it.
It's easy for me to do this, as it's just a bunch of code. Once you learn to
read it, you "see" the website before it's published (or just viewed in your
browser).

However, my method works for me because I only do simple pages. Anything
more than tables and text would be much more work.

I know. I've seen other people use Frontpage. It's terrible. It's always
screwing up a link or an image, or refusing to upload certain files. It
seems like it's full of bugs.

The other thing I don't like is all the garbage it spits out in the HTML
code. If you look at a source HTML file that Frontpage cranks out, it's
loaded with all kinds of stuff I don't recognize. And who knows how
compatible it is with other browsers?

Again, this is my opinion based against my own needs. If I made a simple
webpage (like the ones on my site) with FP, the HTML file may be 3 times the
size of the simple file I make the hard way with Notepad.

I dunno 'bout that. I speak from my own experience. It really is difficult
to photograph an object (i.e. LEGO MOC) and then present the images on a
webpage.

Well, I suppose it is easy. But if you want quality images that give a good
presentation of the model so that people can really "see" it without being
there in person, it's a challenge. And it takes some talent and experience.
IMO, of course ;-)
