“It’s best to write the code yourself.”

Been doing that since 1996. Doesn’t work anymore. I have to know how and when to redirect to separate pages for different platforms. This changes from year to year now, how does one keep track. I’m from the school that if it isn’t broken, then leave it alone. But today, the web is designed to break compatibility left and right. What’s one to do but use a program designed to stay current and migrate pages as the web platforms change. Video/audio codec changes are killing me.

btw: I hate Adobe and have avoid them for years. Have you ever used Sea Monkey and Composer ?

“SeaMonkey’s powerful yet simple HTML editor keeps getting better with dynamic image and table resizing, quick insert and delete of table cells, improved CSS support, and support for positioned layers. For all your documents and website projects, Composer is all you need.”

Can I accomplish anything there?

Thanks.

Hi George. If all you want to do is make basic web pages to place on a server and know little HTML, then WYSIWYG (WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet) is the way to go. I have found the best one (and i tried many) is OpenOffice or LibreOffice, both almost completely the same.

All my web pages here (yes, i am glad God made colors) were made using this.

Simply open up a new document, write all your text, created tables if wanted, change border size and colors of both page and table and cells, rearrange text, change font and size, etc. and save it as hrml (web page) as index.html

Then make other pages, saving and naming them as one lower case title, and create links to them. The link is your host company followed by forward slash and the name of your page, as here . You make a link by selecting the title of the link, then going to Insert>hyperlink>Internet and placing the name in Target.

The cheapest web hosting i have found for business is http://www.freehostia.com/
