If so, what to you like about it. I am going to be buying one soon and am not sure how to tell which one is best for me.
I am a novice, I've worked a semester with front page and even less time with html. But frontpage is the only program I've worked with and don't know if there is something better. I hear dreamweaver is good, but not sure if it is more complicated or not.
I've also seen a few at wal-mart that were 50 bucks. why so cheap, is there anything wrong with those, has anyone used them, were you satisfied??
Clearly any information at all would be helpful!!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

Well it depends what you want to do with it in the long run. If all you need is a program to make a family site or something along those lines than anything would work. However, if you want to actually use the site for promoting your business or e-commerce then I would suggest Dreamweaver. It can be used for basic pages but then it can also be used to build pages that are more advanced too. Sure it costs some $$ but then again anything worth having is going to cost $$. Need lessons on Dreamweaver...check your local community college...they usually offer courses that are not a lot of $$. Take a DW course and then decide...plus they may even offer a discount towards purchase since you would be a "student"

I like dreamweaver because you can easily jump between visually designing and html. Plus, it doesn't add a bunch of garbage code in your pages like Frontpage and a lot of other programs do. Just like it's easy to jump between MS programs it's just as easy to jump between Adobe programs. As far as web and graphic design go, I would recommend the Adobe format because it seems to be the industry standard.

If what you want is a tool in your web design portfolio that will land you a job - or clients - then you really cannot escape Dreamweaver as the tool to work with. Fireworks and Flash make good add-ons for working with graphics and dynamic files, but again, if you want something that business who need sites built are looking for, then Adobe PhotoShop is the product of choice.
However, if you're just looking for good web editing software, and don't mind being a bit different from the crowd, then there is some good news. Some of the best high-power web design software out there is completely free.
The "Write" application in Sun's OpenOffice suite makes a good HTML editor...
http://www.openoffice.org/
For editing images, try Gimp...
http://www.gimp.org/
For developing full-blown web applications, Eclipse and the PHPEclipse plug-in, or Netbeans for Java applications...
http://www.eclipse.org
http://www.phpeclipse.net
http://www.netbeans.org
Finally, if you haven't seen the pattern yet, all of these are high-quality, open-source applications that were developed for Linux first, and later converted to Windows. The good news is that if you want to try the Linux versions, you don't even have to install them on your hard drive. Just download a "Live CD" version of Linux, burn it, boot from the CD, and tinker and experiment to your heart's content.
Knoppix is my Live CD of choice for speed...
http://www.knoppix.com
Ubuntu Linux is another popular one. If you don't have a high-speed connection and don't need instant gratification, they'll even send you the CD for free...
http://www.ubuntu.com
Both of these come with OpenOffice and Gimp, and quite a few other web tools (with literally thousands more all downloadable for free).
Welcome to the world of open-source software :)

As everyone is saying, I also suggest Dreamweaver. I use it as well. It is a bit expensive, but it is worth the money. It is not hard to learn, especially if you use the WYSIWYG editor on it, but you can also do hand coding. It's not limited to HTML, but has various languages you can use on it.
You may also want to try giving Crimson Editor a try. It's free, and pretty easy to deal with. It has color coding as well, so you can see where mistakes are.

Dreamweaver, but it's like 200$ and needs a class all it's own. But thats top of the line.

ditch frontpage, it is proprietary microsoft crap (it is not using many standards for the web)
Dreamweaver is much better, but a bit expensive.
