Now I know what Frontpage is for!
For years and years I have wondered about Microsoft Frontpage. Not only did it baffle me how they could possibly come up with something as harmful to creativity and 'Web interoperability, and something that produces ugly websites that clearly have "Frontpage' written all over them at first glance... but also why they have done this. Why? Why?
Now I know: Frontpage is a stupidity detector.
Let me explain. If you search Google for the kookier subjects such as white supremacy, UFO and Elvis sightings, Christian fundamentalism or just Republicans, and filter for the 'Generator' string in the page header, you will soon find a significant correlation between the subject matter (which in turn tends to be a reliable measure for the sites' creators' stupidity) and the use of Frontpage. Practically all websites that promote stupidity are Frontpage products.
For example, look here, here, here, here or here. You might want to keep a pair of sunglasses handy. Then do the math:
- Stupidity content of subject matter? Check.
- Website ugly enough to make your eyes bleed? Check.
- Made with Frontpage? Check.
