Yep... well, I consider Web Authoring laying out the pages, doing pictures and internet development creating the interactive part or code behind a web site. But, I've seen them used interchangable and other terms to. WebMaster Web Programming, etc.


>2) some people use frontpage, others say use nothing but pure html. i am looking for opinions on this issue.

Well, Front Page is good for what it does, but it will mess up anything you try to do by hand... Like code.


>3) what are some good frontpage, html, and general internet development forums, newsgroups, etc?

Your best resource to start with is www.west-wind.com it has ALOT of information and VFP tools to get the VFP developer creating interactive web sites, or full blow enterprise IntraNet applications.
