I don't know if anyone else does it this way, but here's what I do when using frontpage to design webpages. Even if the site you are using doesn't support frontpage extensions, no matter. If you have your own dotcom, you dont have to install frontpage extensions on your site, which takes up a chunk of megabytes. What I do first is open up front page editor, start a new page, and start laying it out the way I want it, including pics or art I have stored on my servers control panel. When I finish the layout of my page, I switch it over to the html tab, which shows the page in html code. I select all, copy, then go to my sites control panel, open up the page I am working on, and paste the copied code in the edit field, hit save, there it is. No need for the frontpage extensions that way, and I can assure you, it is much easier this way. If anyone has any questions, email me or call me, and I will help if I can. Course, you may already be doing it this way, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know.

You can also design your whole site on your local computer with FrontPage editor, then use FTP to upload all the files.
The one thing you gotta watch out for though is the way FrontPage does links when you are working locally like that. Sometimes it likes to make links in absolute relation to the local machine (file://C/FrontPage/HTML/example.html) and not the root folders (../FrontPage/HTML/example.html)
Be sure it links in relation to the root folder and make sure the local machine has the same directory structure as the website, and you'll be OK.. you wont have to be online to update your page and you wont have to install the personal webserver on your own computer so FrontPage can update the site for you.
