hi,<br />
<br />
Im new to html, right now im still using frontpage to do most of my work for me. I need to know how to use styles sheets. Learning this would really make my life alot easyier. Does anyone know where i can find a really simple tutorial? All i need are the basics and i can figure the rest out myself.<br />
<br />
thanx in advance for any help.<!--content-->W3 Schools (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com">http://www.w3schools.com</a><!-- m -->) has great tutorials on html and css. And I'd really recommend against using wysiwyg editors like Frontpage. <br />
<br />
HTH<!--content-->what kind of editor do you suggest? cuz i dont care to learn html to the point where i can write a page all on my own. I can look at it and i can understand it, and if needed i can make adjustments. thats all i need. im not a professional programer. I just wanna get the job done and make it look nice. i just have a page up for a hobby.<!--content-->IF you have to use wysiwyg i would go with dreamweaver<!--content-->Bruno, try Webmonkey (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webmonkey.com">http://www.webmonkey.com</a><!-- m -->) for tutorials. Under "Authoring". They have all kinds of tutorials there - and in printable format, as well.<br />
<br />
There's no "shame", if you want to call it that, in using a WYSIWYG editor. Quite a few professional web designers use either Dreamweaver or FrontPage. They'd rather concentrate on the content of their pages than on the mechanics of creating one. If you're not all that familiar with HTML, using a WYSIWYG editor is a great way to learn. <br />
<br />
The argument between using an editor and not using one is like the argument between using a typewriter and using a computer. Using a typewriter forces you to learn how to type, how to set up a page and how to spell. Using a computer lets you focus on the content and helps you with the layout and spelling. <br />
<br />
Bruno, the only drawback to FrontPage is that it tends to add a lot of unneccessary code to the page, but if you're only doing web pages as a hobby, it does the job quite well. <shrug> But then, I've heard the same remarks made about Dreamweaver, so there's not much difference. <br />

Anything else is pretty much just "public opinion". Even the so-called experts can't agree on which programme is the best.<br />
<br />
I can't say as I've tried "GoLive". To be honest, I'm happy using Dreamweaver. If I don't like the code it adds, I'll delete that code. I've done the same thing working with FrontPage, deleting the unneccessary stuff. And you know what? I didn't notice that there was any great difference between FrontPage and Dreamweaver when I was using both. It's no different that the differences between using MSWord and Wordperfect. Or Clarisworks and Appleworks, if you prefer. <br />
<br />
Having said that, though, I've used other programmes from Adobe - PageMaker, for example, and if GoLive is of the same professional quality as PageMaker, it should work fine, too. It all depends on how much you want to pay for a programme and what *you* perceive to be useful.<br />
<br />
Peg<!--content-->Peg has some good comments there... if I can knock frontpage for a second though. Perhaps it is good to move away from Frontpage due to the inherent problems it has in end... although good as a learning cure it will be a painful one.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't knock any other wysiwyg editor.<br />
<br />
1st page 2000 is a pretty fine editor...<br />

You could do much worse than this.<!--content-->
