Wow, if that is not an indication that the manual is desperately needed
than I ask myself what is.

Or do you mean really only the html part of the pages, Shao ?
You did put three ??? after your phrase, asking if it is easy to add the
MiniVend tags to an eye-catching site made with Frontpage, so to me
it sounds you were questioning the ease of writing your own MV tags.

Otherwise, if it is the html only, many people have written
and designed their pages from scratch and tried to add the MV tags making
analogies from the simple catalog and reading the docs and mail archives
backwards and forwards. 8-)

Don't give up...
