The New Mexico National Guard contracted with Consultwebs.com to provide Web design training for 18 of their staff members.  The National Guard's goal was to have National Guard staff members learn how to maintain components of their departmental Web sites.  

After understanding the goals of the New Mexico National Guard, Consultwebs.com recommended that Microsoft FrontPage be implemented. The staff had no FrontPage experience.  Two students had limited HTML experience.

The courses were conducted December 14th and 15th, 2000 near Sante Fe, NM.  Dale Tincher was the instructor.

The first day of FrontPage training consisted of introducing the students to the Web and providing hands-on instruction on developing a tutorial FrontPage Web site.  By the end of day one, the students had built 5-page Web sites.  During day two, the students practiced more FrontPage advanced techniques and enhanced their tutorial Web sites.  The last class provided instruction on publishing the Web site to a Web server.
