I've eben away for a while and haven't been reading my HWG list, but, this
interests me..

I still write every single line of my HTML by hand, I usually find it easier
this way, I don't
even have a WYSIWYG editor on my box.. I dunno.. I think it helps though
that most pages
I design are realitivly simple, (or sometimes difficult but), the fact that
linux influences almost
everything I do (linux tought me to walk j/k).. or waht, but that's just my
opinion,

I really don't like WYSIWYG editors, and maybe I'll try homesite or dw for
somelayouts
in the future, but for now I'm sticking with notepad, dos edit, and linux
Pico. (No, I don't
like VI very much.. wierd eh? :-)
