>Hey chad, Frontpage, Net Fusion or templets that your web hosting has such as 1&1 hosting all seem to work well. Sean

>Lots of folks use MS Front Page. I found it hard to just pick up and use.

I am using DreamWeaver MX 2004, and it is very easy for me to use without spending all day in the book.

>I use Front Page for the initial set up then go in and tweak the HTML code manually to get rid of some of the idiocy that MS puts in there... LOL...

But then again, this is what SWMBO & I do as part of the real world... LOL..

>I use HTML and CSS to create websites: www.simpleturnings.com (my personal) and www.tristateturners.luinetti.com (for our turner's club).

Both FrontPage and Dreamweaver put a lot of baggage in the code, although it is easier than spending six months to a year to learn passable coding.

Real web designer's use Notepad 8-)

Raymond Overman in SC

>If you're really hardcore I would go with Notepad. It's already on your windows based computer and won't cost anything. Of course the learning curve for raw HTML is a little steep but since you're waiting on the power to your shop, you've got some time right?

I personally used a mix of notepad, frontpage, and flash MX on my site.

Or the equivalent...

Rod Peterson -- Ormond Beach

>I posted on this subject recently on the main board. I quickly ran into limitations with Notepad when I started doing my website and was turned on to Notepad+ (www.mypeecee.org/rogsoft/�public domain). In my opinion everyone with a computer should replace Notepad with this utility on every computer they own and every one they'll ever own.

Once, while proclaiming, much as above, someone turned me onto EditPad (editpadlite.com/�also freeware), which is what I currently use.

In the course of the discussion, two other suggestions were made for good HTML editors (not development tools, per se) which I downloaded but haven't yet tried:

Any discussion of web development should also include HTML Tidy (w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/). The website is a little cryptic because it discusses activities at the source code and command line lever, but there is a GUI interface (perso.wanadoo.fr/ablavier/TidyGUI/ for Tidy that makes it dirt simple to use.

Try it.

I am proud to say that every bit of the HTML on my site was hand coded in either Notepad (or Notepad+) or EditPad.

>Umm...maybe I'm missing something here...but...if you're using Frontpage, why go into Notepad if you want to edit the HTML. Just flip the page into the HTML view and make any editing changes you want. Then flip it back to the standard view to see what effect your changes had.

Not me. Must be...
