I've been hand coding HTML in Notepad since 1995

I almost hate to ask... but I really have to. Why!?! Why are you still hand coding HTML in notepad?

I see "handcoded in notepad" as a badge of honor on websites everywere.. both good and bad.

I can understand if you don't want to use a WYSIWYG interface like Dreamweaver MX (even though it is a beautiful thing). People all tell me that hand coded is always best, but often when I hand code something and run it through Dreamweaver it ends up a little better... and I mean from the HTML source point of view.

But if you insist on doing it all by hand, which is perfectly valid, please at least get a decent text editor like emacs or vi, or one of the many decent text editors made for windows. Things like syntax highlighting and decent scripting can be very nice... while... notepad makes me very very sad :-(

Notepad+ is a pretty good text editor. It can open larger files than the Windows based Notepad, and even has HTML tags and color coding built right in. :)
