Building a website?

depends on what you are looking for. HTML? PHP?
For a basic site just get into dreamweaver and start playing.
 
fvck that. Learn HTML and open notepad.
/internet elitist

seriously though, you'll want to at least know some HTML/CSS and crap like that.
 
Dreamweaver is my favorite WYSIWYG editor. I hate Frontpage.

You can learn some basic HTML by viewing both the code and the page simultaneously.

 
I started with a template and frontpage. But of course, front page was free through the university. 🙂
 
****AVOID USING FRONTPAGE****

1. get dreamweaver
2. start making sites
3. start looking at the code and determining what each tag does
4. start coding yourself (HTML)
5. start CSS
6. learn advanced CSS methods
7. start javascript/php

OR:

1. get notepad, and go to w3cschools or get an ebook, or another html tutorial site
2. start learning
3. css after HTML
4. javascript/php after CSS

to really do PHP, you really should know HTML
 
Why don't people like frontpage?

Meh..I use it, but I just do a general layout then edit the code by hand. Then I just use the WYSIWYG portion to change/enter text and such.

1. Microsoft
2. All the useless crap it adds to the HTML file
3. Why not use all the other programs that are better? Dreamweaver, Notepad, Nvu, etc.
 
FrontPage adds a lot of bullsh*t code to your pages. You'll see stuff like <font size="12"><font color="#000000">text</font></font> but it's often worse.

This leads to more bandwidth usage and slow page loading. ~_~
 
Last time I used dreamweaver I hated it...but that was years ago.

I may try again.

Took a look at that w3schools site...the CSS stuff isn't terribly difficult at all...I've never looked into it. I may decide to use some of that stuff after all.

Code or Design layout? or both?

Which version? MX2004 ?

I like the interface, however it is a bit sluggish.

No no I used one back in like...1995 or something...was one of the first ones.

Design layout isn't hard in CSS. Pretty simple to get the hang of.
 
This seems like all BS. People talk about opening notepad, and learning HTML, and then they curse FrontPage for the extra code it puts in. Then remove the code, since you know HTML. I've always done all my sites by hand, and FrontPage is useful by typing the code, and seeing the results, thus you don't have to upload and refresh the browser to see quick changes.

Dreamweaver does exactly that, but without forcing you to fix it's screw ups. There's nothing more annoying then going back and fixing a mistake caused by a program over and over and over and over again when you just want to change the font colour.

It's not worth the trouble.
