You are right, FP tends to be looked down on by many members of this group
and not without some justification.

I used to use FrontPage all the time up until a few months ago (when I
switched to Expression). In my opinion the way you are using FP is probably
the best way to use FP - because you are minimising the opportunity for it
to produce bad code and keeping on top of what it is producing. Its still
worth running the pages past the w3c validator occasionally
(http://validator.w3.org/), I found that with the best will in the world
some poor constructs still got through.
