FrontPage was indeed terrible, it caused me to make an even worse decision in the 1990’s—-make websites almost entirely out of image maps, and then eventually that terrible idea evolved into the classic terrible approach to early ‘00’s web frontends (bum bum bum): Macromedia Flash and Actionscript (the latter of which I actually remember fondly, although I may just be remembering it with rose-tinted glasses).

Oh man that reminds me of customizing people Neopets personal pages as kid. Image maps and tables everywhere.

Yeah, arguably that was the mindset out of which David Siegel's book _Killer Web Sites_:

grew out of.
