Hi Brian,
I don't know how Front Page works, so I can't say for sure if Kompozer is like FP or not.
However, kompozer.net is a free HTML editor, which I use and really, really like.
I used to use NVU, but it seems to no longer be available. NVU is pretty much the same as Kompozer.
Looking at their site just now, I see they also have a BlueGriffon (which is a branch of the Nvu HTML editor) developed as of January 2011. Hmmm, I may have to check it out.
http://net2.com/nvu/download.html. This link takes you to several kinds of software. And the direct link to Blue Griffon is:

Edited to addI just downloaded the BlueGriffon and pulled in one of my past ezines to see if/how my ezine template would look in it. I'm thinking I'm liking it. You have two options: the WYSIWYG and "source".
With Kompozer, you get "normal", "HTML Tags", Source and Preview.Also with Kompozer, when you look at "source" you can see some of the code in a burgundy-like color. And blue and black.
With BlueGriffon, you just get black and yellow. (So I miss the burgundy and the blue as they stand out better - for me.)
I don't know if there is a way to change that or not.
Edited again to add:I have discovered that the html code in Kompozer (and NVU did it, too) seems to multiply on you over time when you look at "normal view" and then go to "source" code. Maybe I need to change a setting or something.
