Re: New Page deisgner?

Ok..I've been 'lurking' for a long, long time.  So, 'hello' everyone.
Here's my opinion about the tread.

I've been doing 'this' for about 4 years.  I started out doing html in
emacs, before there was a Netscape, etc and there was only Lynx to view
pages.  I've tried, basically all of the html editors, hoping there was an
easier way.  It's been extremely hard to keep up with the technology.  But,
I've found nothing that can substitute for manual html programming.  No
matter what I use, there are always 'bugs' that require manual html
knowledge. A program can only do so much, no matter which one you select.
In other words, the software is only as 'good' as it's user.  Whether you
buy a $500 package or a $25 package, your html can only be as good as what
you learn.  Basically, people suggest programs based on their own
expertise.  I could tell you my preference is 'Always Relality' from many
years ago.  And, my employee can tell you she prefers an html editor by
Corel.  And, either could be fine for you, depending upon how much you want
to learn, or if you just want it to be easy.  The point being, learn your
own html, then decide on a program that benefits you.  You will have less
problems and have the knowledge of which ones can make the task simpler.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.
