I have the perfect idea for a FAQ website, but I have a problem...I don't know how to make [good] websites! It would be called "ScrewedCalc" and would basically explain everything (and repeat some things more clearly) that isn't on TI-FAQ. I would have info on common, but yet to be documented problems and questions about ALL the calcs (except the 81 and below).So...can anyone either:

A) Give me a link to a nice Microsoft Frontpage tutorial.
B) Give me a good programming language/website hosting place.
C) Program it for me (I would rather make it myself though!)

A) Learn to write things in html or something similar. MS Frontpage messes up the source code considerably. Unless, of course, it's been changed in recent years.

B) Enjoy.

C) Then it really wouldn't be yours, would it?

No, last time I checked FrontPage creates bloated code with tons of IE proprietary tags. If you really want to use a WYSIWYG html editor, try dreamweaver, but that can be costly. Honestly, just learn html, it's just markup, after all.

the most perfect idea for FAQ's is really pointless, since most people don't read them anyways.

Edit
you want to learn? Do what I did, right click on a web site, (something simple, like mine), click view source, read through the source code, and experiment with what is there on your computer. That is how I am learning. And when I see something that I don't know or understand, I simply ask.

Or you could click on the link that I provided in my previous post. That will take you to a place where you can learn html and such.

The O'reilly company has an excellent series of books on just about every programming language out there, and at pretty good prices if you can find the right ones. I'd recommend the XHTML & HTML 5th edition book (most standard) for you.

Dreamweaver is by far one of teh best editors but learn html first. As with FP, it puts lots of junk code, tags and other crap and its html output looks really bad and unreadable. Besides, DW isn't all that expesnsive. I think it just about 100 bucks right now and probably even cheaper if you get it at your school with student discount.
I agree on O'Reilly books, they're definitely ones of the best. There are however lots of free tuts around the net but having a real book as a reference could prove useful too.
