When you learned to talk, did your parents start you out with College
level words or did they start you out with mama, papa, kaka, dodo?

If you do not understand the basics, then you can not move forward.
Notepad teaches you the basics. Tools like front page give people that
don't know the basics a crutch that will hurt them in the long run.

Learn HTML, then move to a tool like front page or dreamweaver if you
like.
