For those who have their own website...

[Cauldron]

Did you create your website by programming in HTML or java etc.? Or did you use something like Microsoft Frontpage? Does anyone know anything about Frontpage? Are there similar but better programs? How sophisticated of a website can you get with one of these programs vs. physically programming it yourself?

I had an idea for a website / was interested with messing around with something. I'm mathematically inclined, but don't know much about web programming. I did have some programming in college, but haven't done much since. I would imagine that knowing a language is better than using a program (i.e. Frontpage) but if they are decent, then obviously it would be easier.

I realize this is a lot of questions, but any info would be helpful. Thanks.
