About the Author
Greg Holden has had Microsoft FrontPage very much on his mind, this book following on the heels of E-Commerce Essentials with Microsoft FrontPage, also published by Microsoft Press. Greg cut his computer book-writing teeth in 1995 with Publishing on the World Wide Web. Since then he has developed a following with books like Starting an Online Business for Dummies. Greg has created online courses on Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Word 2000, is a regular columnist for CNET, and has written articles for Forbes, PC World, and Computer User. Outside of the computer world, Greg has published poems and short stories and, most recently, Literary Chicago: A Book Lover's Tour of the Windy City, published by Lake Claremont Press.
When his fingers aren't tapping computer keys or stained with the ink of the antique fountain pens he collects, Greg's hands are busy rehabbing his house on the North Side of Chicago. His greatest joy is not the sound of hammer, saw, or hard drive, but the laughter of his two daughters, Zosia and Lucy.

Incredibly helpful resource
28 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
I bought this book to help me set up my first website, and am continuing to use it as a reference tool as I improve the site. I wasn't sure I could build a site on my own, but this book provided me with just the support I needed.
One of the best things about the book is the fact that not only are the instructions clear and direct, but the images that accompany the illustrations actually show you what you're looking at on your computer screen.
Also, it's possible to skip ahead and use the book primarily as a reference manual when you want to do something specific (add a moving image or a gif to the page, for example). The author acknowledges up front that this book is intended to be used in whatever way you'll find most helpful. I appreciated his tone, very direct and not condescending, and also appreciated the specificity of his instructions.
All in all, I'd say this book is an excellent reference for someone who is just getting started with Microsoft FrontPage -- way more helpful than the guide that came with the software -- and, from what I can tell (as somewhat of a novice)it appears to be an excellent resource for people at more advanced levels who are trying to accomplish a specific (and sometimes complex) task.
Highly recommended!

Worse than worthless
17 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
At best this book may help somebody transition from a previous version of FrontPage to the current (2002) version. But for somebody who has never before used FrontPage (any version), this book is NOT a teaching tool.
Be skeptical of glowing 5-star reviews from critics who find absolutely no fault with the books they are reviewing. "Before reading xxxx I knew absolutely nothing but after devouring this paragon of perfection I am now totally conversant with the subject of yyyy."

Plainly & Simply a great Reference
29 Jun 2003
Format:Paperback
I'm teaching a workshop of beginners Front Page and searched to find a book for participants. This book is it. It is clearly illustrated with direct instruction about procedures, and the low cost is an exceptional value. I love the book's easy to understand format. It is a valuable addition to my personal program reference library.
