Suggestions appreciated. -- Art Ransom Lancaster,TX www.turningaround.org http://tinyurl.com/clhg IMHO _ANYTHING_ is better than FrontPage. The big questions: how much do you know about web authoring (or how much do you want to learn) to produce your new site? Do you demand a WYSIWIG product? (most of which produce sad HTML and the results seldom look as they promised during the authoring) Speaking for myself, it is entirely possible to produce a perfectly acceptable site using nothing more advanced than a text editor like NotePad. My first two sites were done that way. I've since moved to Macromedia HomeSite to gain the advantages of editing across multiple files simultaneously as my site now consist of hundreds of files. Of course this takes us back to the first question since doing the job the simple clean way demands that the site creator knows HTML authoring... -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |

The easiest way to write a web page is to use HTML and the language is quick to learn. Reyd has a good site and you might also try http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp for all the latest code. http://www.virtualmechanics.com/prod...warf/info.html is pretty good too, but like all such products it generates a lot of extraneous code and can slow down a page. -- God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS, Canada http://www.roundthewoods.com |

I have used DreamWeaver to buuild about 6 sites so far--and I speak
relatively little HTML...Altho Dreamweaver may seem expensive at first blush, if you value your time, you will save quite a bit using a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) design tool. Dreamweaver is now one of the best on the market, and produces a site that is easiy maintained and modified. You DO need to know what you are doing, however, but there are some very good books on the market, such as "Dreamweaver for Dummies" that will get you going. If you are speedy, some of the Dreamweaver books come with a 30 day evaluation copy. Mike "John McGaw" wrote in message ... "Art Ransom" wrote in message news:gAB6c.41447$po.336562@attbi_s52...

If you're on a Mac platform, I have nothing but good things to say about
Freeway Express. It's $89 (web install) and a truly WYSWYG program. I had my initial web site up in 3 days and refinements have been easy since Freeway Rewrites the code and only uploads the changes it needs to. Peace.

It was before they sold out and it is freeware. Has a nice interface and tools for inerting tags and code. Works reall well. Not sure if you can still get it though. Allyn |

for what it's worth, Front Page is ok for basic web site construction - I
use it on two sites, my own (www.home.labridge.com/~wnoble ), and my turning club's (www.woodturners.org). I have been very careful to avoid all active X, Java, and Flash, I avoided frames as well for a long time - not because I couldn't do it, but because some folks are running very old browsers, because some folks have slow dial-up links (like 2400 bps), and some folks (me!) really hate sites that bombard you with graphics and fancy stuff when you are looking for basic information. So, before you redo your site, think carefully about what you want, and not only that, think carefully about what your audience will want/need/tolerate. For example, if I were one of your audience, and I went to your site, and there were any active X, I would not see it. If there were scripts, I manually approve each one, and I always choose "NO" unless I know what the script is doing. If there is any Flash, I don't see it (I don't allow the flash client to load on my computer) - so, with that said, I've been to many sites where I get there and I see a blank screen or worse. So, unless it is something I really need to see, I go elsewhere. A good site will have a display for "no frames" as well as "frames", and it will have a way of navigating the site wthout cookies, without java, and without active X or scripts. bill "Art Ransom" wrote in message news:gAB6c.41447$po.336562@attbi_s52...

I'm maintaining about half a dozen sites using CoffeeHTML,
http://www.coffeecup.com. There is a eval version online - 45 days IIRC. The cost is about $35 (maybe $40. I used the eval copy of Dreamweaver, I think Coffee is lots easier to use, but you do all your editing of html source, not WYSIWYG, but there is a 'preview' window that is constantly updated - like Dreamweaver. And if you're on Linux there is an old version - it's not in active development on Linux. mike On Fri, 19 Mar 2004 12:20:28 GMT, Art Ransom wrote: I want to redo my site and want something better than FrontPage.

Right now, the button mouseovers are the name of the button that the progtram gave it (button 1a, button 1a1, etc). The idea of having mouseovers is for people that use a slow connection to be able to view the mouseover before the page is completely loaded.

What browser and platform are you using? When I look at it, the color of
the buttons is black, and the mouseover is red. This is the same in Safari, Internet explorer, and Netscape. I had my friend check it on his PC with IE, and it is also Black with a Red rollover.

I had my friend check it on his PC with IE, and it is also Black with a Red rollover. It is black, and unreadable on most buttons because the gray background is too dark. The mouseover is red, and very hard to read. In my first post, my reference to the mouseover is when you put the cursor on the button, there is a little window that pops up seperately from the button, that says "button," "button 1," "button 1a." They can be renamed to match the buttons, so that peole that use a slow connection can see the description of the button before the website has actually downloaded all the graphics. I hope this makes it more clear. -- Ted Harris http://www.tedharris.com (remove NOJUNK to reply) "Nick Silva" wrote in message ... What browser and platform are you using?

Could also be a trojan or other malware.
If you are looking for web site creation software then OpenOffice.org might be worthwhile. It is distributed for free and is having its publicly available file format considered as an ISO standard for document storage. It also does word processing, spreadsheets, presentations and drawings.
