Web newbie. A few questions.

[cafeenman]

I have 500 MB (way more than I need) of hosting that I bought before I knew what I was doing. Ok, I still don't know what I'm doing, but I know a little more now. For instance, I found out they don't support FrontPage extensions or ASP. What they do support is PHP. I don't even know what PHP looks like.

My web knowledge is pretty much limited to creating pages with FrontPage (I don't know html) and how to upload them with my FTP program. That's the extent of my web development/server/anything having anything to do with online stuff knowledge.

I know how to write VB code, so if I can use that knowledge, I'll be much further ahead. So here are my questions:

1) Is there any way to use FrontPage extensions with a server that doesn't support them. Can I put them on my space? or is that a really stupid question. Is there any other way around it?

2) I'd like to make something simple to get me started with dynamic content. I think the easiest thing I could do is a guest book. If I have to do it with PHP, that's cool. Can someone just point me in the right direction. Keep in mind I know absolutely nothing about it.

3) Is there a way to edit my pages directly on the server using FrontPage? Again, it doesn't have the extensions.

Anything else you can tell me (speak easy English please, because I don't even know what the terms are) is very much appreciated.

My goal here is to know enough that I can put something on my resume without it being a lie.

The two images in my sig link to what I have uploaded now. Neither of the sites is a professional site, so I can play around with them and not worry about it.
