Christine, John, folks...
I used notepad loooong ago, simply because the available editors were
apalling. The moment I found Dreamweaver, I resorted to notepad only in
very specific moments, to make sure the result was my way - dreamweaver
used to follow a more complicated formula in some tags, probably better
than mine... but I changed it anyway.
Using the latest developments in a plain text editor is not my idea of
fun, and I really don't think any person should feel bad about a hard
time doing that. Count it twice for beginners. That was not easy in the
old days, isn't funny today.
Since I entered the Linux way, I'm trying to find a Dreamweaver
replacement - not so easy. Last try was Bluefish... and I did most of my
current (alpha) site with a plain text editor again... And may be
reinstalling windows in a side machine just for Photoshop, Dreamweaver
and Fireworks. Will see... those sugestions are worth trying.
Good light...

Hi Christine,
I've been able to write HTML since I took a HNC in computer networking
c.2002/3, to be honest I always use Dreamweaver and only ever edit with notepad
when I can't get the application to do *exactly* what I want. From personal
experience I'd say 90% of all the code writers I know use some form of
application other than notepad, it's just easier and quicker that way.
Best regards,
John

Subject: Way OT @ $#*<h1>woman throws in towel on writing code</h1>*#$@
Up until 2 days ago I had never written 1 line of html code--not one--for
any purpose. I have spent the last two days, however, learning about html
and learning how to write some html code using Notepad so that I might get a
simple index page up. Oh my gosh, am I brain dead. (Aside: as I write
this, I can hear the most beautiful live xylophone music coming through my
study window. It's absolutely delightful. Someone is playing in his or her
backyard somewhere across the alley.) I did, in fact, get something
written, but oh, is it stinky--and I never did get it just the way I wanted.
On the one hand I am a bit proud that I learned to write some code--and I
learned how to write a css style sheet--and I was successful at linking the
two, though they didn't link at first, and it took me forever to find the
typo. I had written *type="test/css"* instead of *text*. Ugh! And I got
the jpeg to link to where I *almost* wanted it, but I never could figure out
how to get my little two item list to align the way I wanted to. Still,
like I said, I'm a bit proud of my meager results here.
But that's just the problem--oh, how meager the results are! I have no
problem being a beginner at anything--it's where everyone starts when
learning something new, but gee wiz, you'd think after 2 days I'd be a
little further along! Moreover, I started looking at the code for some
elegantly simple web pages that I admire, and I'm totally intimidated by the
complexity of the code and feel quite sure it would take me most of the next
12 months just to get close to learning this stuff.
Hence, I'm going to throw in the towel and will probably use Word Web Pages
to get something up.
Lastly, to all you Cyber Techie Code Writers who can write this stuff at the
speed of light, I sincerely tip my hat to you in admiration. Cheers,
Christine
