I am asking for help please. and hope this is on the correct forum.

Apparently I have not specified a DOCTYPE (see below) and think this could be causing problems with some search engines. Obviously I need to know exactly what DTD to use and have no idea where to look for this information. I was hoping that my using Front Page would avoid me having to use HTML myself but recently some IT professionals tell me that the problem is always the same with Frontpage designed sites and they would never recommend it. I admit I am a complete newbie and have no idea where to start to put this right.

(I have my title and description tags etc in place).
