I've used Frontpage and it is simple. Lots of people don't like it because of all the stuff Microsoft has in the code. (aka 'dirty code') Also it doesn't always display properly.
I really want to tinker with my site and can't afford a lot for software or design help. So it is always a work in progress. I'm going to check out some of the suggestions you've gotten and hope more are posted. I've tried to get a good book to learn html, but it got so deep into xhtml and a bunch of other stuff I had to chose I quit.
