Using A WYSIWYG
For Your WebPages

The Web has become a home for many. With the number of those who publish their web pages on the Web increasing daily, a lot of software companies have come up with applications that can help de-HTML-ize the creation of web pages. "De-HTML-ize" is to lighten, if not remove altogether, the need for HTML tags in the creation of web pages. It is a by-product of the process whereby the Web is made more accessible to the public. From now on, even the creation of web pages will no longer be the exclusive realm of programmers and professional web designers.

These pages are for those who would like to create web pages but who are daunted by the coded language of web pages, the "Hyper Text Markup Language" (HTML). With recent advances in the "popularization" of the Web, WYSIWYGs have come to the fore. WYSIWYGs are software applications that allow would-be webwriters to create web pages without the knowledge of HTML. WYSIWYG is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get. As the meaning indicates, one can just type the contents of one's web page and the application dynamically outputs the page as it would look like in a browser (well, almost). The particular WYSIWYG we will be dealing with here is Front Page Express (version 2.0) which comes to you bundled with Microsoft's Internet Explorer. It is the software that I used when I began making web pages. And though I can now write web pages using Notepad, I still use FrontPage for quick text conversions to HTML. As I have benefitted much from using it, I also recommend its use for beginning web writers.
