Re: graduating from WYSIWYG editors

Barbara,

I have tried and uninstalled many, many different *editors.*

I absolutely love FirstPage. I have had it for several months now and I am 
still learning more and more about its features. I keep hoping they will 
introduce their new version soon.

Once my *business* grows up -- Dreamweaver/Fireworks. There are many other 
editors, I know, but I did use a trial version, and it's on my wish list.

HTH,
Tamara
