Why not use free CMS software like WordPress instead of FrontPage?
http://www.wordpress.org
WordPress (for example) is free, open-source, and you can focus 100% on
content. It's easier to learn than WYSIWYG editors like FrontPage and
Dreamweaver. There are also free templates that you can download to modify
the look of your site. With tools like WordPress anyone can publish on the
web even if they have no money at all. I just saw another free CMS online
called guppy (http://www.freeguppy.org/) that doesn't even require a MySQL
database, so a person could publish online at no cost with a free host like
http://www.cjb.cc. You don't even need to own a computer, as long as there
is access to a computer at a library or school.
Just some thoughts...
