BlockNote.NET html editor - has anyone used it?

[IvanAndreevich]

There is this program called BlockNote.NET and I am currently looking for something simple to edit HTML. Well this prog seems to work great for me, but I am just trying to see if anyone else has used this program before and get you to share your opinions with me.

Can anyone offer me some alternatives to this prog? They have to be wysiwyg as well and under $100 too (the less the better of course). Thanks a pile!

Edit: forgot to post a link... www.blocknote.net

I think UltraEdit and TextPad are the ones I always hear about people liking for windows. I might be off on the names though. (and I might be thinking of the wrong ones )

I don't know HTML so I can't use any of those editors. Besides, it's a pain in the butt to type all that code.

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

Oh sorry, didn't notice that you were looking for wysiwyg. What about dreamweaver?

 

[IvanAndreevich]

LOL man.. do you know how much dreamweaver costs? Besides it's so FREAKING slow at editing tables OH MY GOD. When I am doing my big table I have, it takes like 5 seconds to copy/paste it in dreamweaver (it was a trial version). But blocknote can paste it like 3 times per second I don't know how they've done it but I like it!

Edit: it costs $400 US, about 5 times more then what I am going to spend at the MAX.

Frontpage?

 

[IvanAndreevich]

Umm.. don't have office license

 

[IvanAndreevich]

So should I just buy it? Or spend the money for the office license?

 

[randumb]

Frontpage has always been sold as a seperate package. Up till Office XP, Frontpage was part of the "Developer" Office package. With Office 2003, it is no longer available in any Office package, and is now a standalone product.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

How much is it?

 

[IvanAndreevich]

Ouch.. it's $150

Other suggestions?

Seriously.... its never going to get any easier than HTML. The biggest problem people run into is thinking that for some reason their site suddenly has to push the avant guarde of design and wow the user with sleek coolness.

If you really want a site that looks decent and aren't willing to code it all, you can pay people for some really cheap HTML projects. sitepoint.com and webhostingtalk.com both have pretty active forums for this kinda stuff.

 

[IvanAndreevich]

Thanks I'll check out the forums definetely!

However, I would welcome any further suggestions here as well, please.

Can you recommend me some specialized SOFTWARE forums on the net? Where this kind of discussion might receive more feedback?

I'm sure you could find something suitable at at Tucows, you could also have a look around SourceForge for something decent.

I know OpenOffice (freeware) contains Writer which is similar to Word and allows export to HTML though I've not used it for that purpose my self.

FWIW I use Crimson Editor to edit my web site.

Hope you find something suitable soon.
