Re: SOFTWARE V. HTML CODE

Ronnie....
Ditto what Angie said (such a wise and tactful way with words).... to which
I would add:

If you are really just beginning, the place to start is by studying the HTML
/CSS specifications as promulgated by the WorldWideWeb Consortium at
http://www.w3c.org.   The reason is that once you know what good HTML/ CSS
looks like, you can free yourself from bondage to this or that particular
software, can more readily determine if a software package is producing
clean code, and you can edit a page in a plain vanilla text editor if you
have to.

Take advantage of various software trial periods -- most reputable and
widely used software has 30-day trial versions so you can determine for
yourself what you are comfortable with.

My choices are entirely my own, but you asked for recommendations -- the
software that I use for my various websites include these that I would
recommend for your examination:

Dreamweaver2.
Homesite4.0
FrontPage98
TextPad
Sheet Stylist2.0
SmartScript
HTMLTidy
PaintShopPro
Arachnophilia
