i suggest going over the basic firsts before actually looking at the software because that's free. http://www.w3schools.com/html/ is a pretty good site. and if you dont have dreamweaver or frontpage yet, you could check out the source code of various websites you visit and try understanding from there.

I definitely agree with juskoday. W3 schools is a great site. One thing that's starting to happen now is more and more people are learning basic HTML and CSS tags and properties while tinkering with their myspace layouts and other things like that. That's actually a great way to start learning CSS, which will really come in handy once you know some HTML. Also, most sites are way more than mere HTML. Many contain multiple types of code on a single page, such as HTML, CSS, javascript, ASP, PHP, and all those other abbreviations. Using an application to develop your website is great, but the real advantage of those applications isn't the fact that they do the HTML for you, it's all the scripting and stuff like that which really saves you a lot of work.
Anyway, I'm rambling a lot, so here are some great tags to get started with. Just look up <IMG>, <a>, <table>, and <embed>. Those are some common things you'll use often.

You can start learning HTML by reading some tutorials first. so that you can have a background of it first before opening dreamweaver or frontpage.
I would personally prefer to use macromedia dreamweaver than ms frontpage.

I learned HTML at this website that had an interactive tutorial. Ir lets you do things and see the changes. It is very easy to understand and it is FREE. the site is:
http://www.davesite.com
I do not use dreamweaver or frontpage. instead I use a free HTML editor called Arachnophilia. You can find it at:
http://arachnoid.com/arachnophilia/index.html
I use the old 4.0 non java version because that is what I started with and I don't really care for java ones, but you can use the newer one. It is up to you.
Anyways, the tutorial and editor are both FREE.

You you given these two selection i could choose Frontpage is more easy and dreamweaver is more hard to learn and more function like .asp or php and such.
For a starter you should get a template first and start editing it. It really hard if you start form a blank page.
You also might get some web building tutorial resources over the net or bookstore.
Beside that some software provide step-by-step creating webpage that takes only few minute.

I am a fan of open source software, why not try nvu? (www.nvu.com, free software). Treat it as a 'free' dreamweaver or frontpage. Easy to use too.

FrontPage generate very bad HTML code. Dreamweaver is very good, but expensive tool. I you want to learn HTML, you should firstly use some notepad (with coloring syntax) like notepad++.
When you learned the basics, you can look at very good IDE for developing web application: APTANA (www.aptana.com) - it's very good & free tool

If you have to choose between dreamweaver and frontpage, I would suggest using dreamweaver for sure. Frontpage generates messy HTML and is generally not as good.
