Aww you messed it up. Guess you arent a userfriendly fan
Next should have been &quot;I edit the inodes by hand... With a magnet!)&quot; Oh well. Try not to use ed... Something about it just scares me >>




Ahhh, sorry. I used to love UF. Then it seemed to turn into
&quot;Microsoft sucks, doesn't it?&quot;
&quot;Yes, Linux is good. I love Linus&quot;
&quot;I want to have his child&quot;

My bad, man. >>



Ahh its ok. The best part of the strip was when the BSD devils were appearing trying to convince Greg(?) to switch to BSD

Try out homesite or similar. It will help you as a beginner and you will pick up HTML as you go along. Once you know HTML well enough just use a text editor or you can stick to something like Homesite if you like. IF you want WYSIWYG then Dreamweaver is the typical recomendation.

I use Robohelp. It an HTML help authoring tool, but its also great at making web pages. Its is very expensive, though, but I have it for work.

synchronicity: I fully agree with you there. I think all web designers who do not code with a text editor should be rounded up and shipped off to MARS

rbV5: Back off!

My 2 cents, I think everyone should use vi.

Cheers

And any woodworker who uses electric tools should go with them! Same as any farmer who uses a tractor instead of his mule! And those damn jet airplanes! Why my grandpappy would be furious!

Are you Amish? or a Luddite?

Dreamweaver is my favorite WYSIWYG editor. It's code is a lot cleaner than FP.

Coast102.com also used to be mine, but my friend messed it up. Big time.

That's kind of an invalid comparison. The reason *I* dislike webpages that use WYSIWYG editors
is that they are (everyone I've seen anyway) not W3C compliant. If you make a page, it needs
to be W3C compliant so that everyone can view it. Browser specific tags suck. Sites made
with them annoy users without those browsers, and they miss out on the intended effect.

WYSIWYG: Dreamweaver, any application that convert Word 2k HTML into readable, well layed out HTML gets my vote

UltraEdit for hand codeing, supports colour coding, etc... And is possably the best Text/Hex editor anyway.

<< Browser specific tags suck. >>

I agree. That's why I don't use them. It's entirely possible to use FrontPage (for example) and not use IE-specific tags. I do it all the time. But W3C compliance doesn't guarantee your page will display properly. 99% of the people out there are using browsers that are not compliant. That's why a concientious developer tests his or her pages on a wide range of platforms and browsers.

Whats amazing is that we have shown some nice pages but richleader has not commented on any of the submissions...

Maybe richleader has a life (unlike some of us ) and doesn't check in 3 times a day. I'll make a comment to get the ball rolling - aside from the site flavio linked they are so simple it would be hard for them to not be W3C compliant! I'm not saying they are bad, just that they are very elementary.

You only check the site 3 times a day?
Anyhow, simple is good. KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid. I personally cannot stand sites that just have too much going on. That is why I love the attrition site
