although notepad is the best cuz its hardcore, lol
textpad is alright cuz it has pretty colors

[wishmaster2]

Dreamweaver is the best.....but you need to download a good tutorial to use it right!!!

[DataSpy]

My first and favorite editor is 1st Page 2000 (http://www.evrsoft.com/), but it would be a good idea to learn how to use Dreamweaver.

[tralalala]

lol.. what a bump.. over half a year old.. :lol: amazing what people will dig up to get some posts :lol:

[tesco]

Notepad2. :01:

nah, building a web site in VI editor in a Linux shell is probably the most hardcore...although I've actually piped lines one by one from commandline into index.html before heh!

[4play]

http://www.vim.org/ is vi improved it a editor for the linux shell. should i mention emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) as well.

I still like using just a simple text editor with syntax highlighting so notepad2 or editplus 2 suit me fine.

[xip]

I use dreamweaver although the use of tables is ridiculous

[Conneh]

[digmen1]

Dreamweaver is really the best and having the integrated FTP is really handy.
Frontpage should not be used under any circumstances :angry:

[lcrt]

If you are going to create a blog use WordPress (http://wordpress.org), otherwise Koobi (http://www.dream4.de/) would be best choice. And UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com) is a must have for both :)

[jtd]

use dreamweaver, it's realy easy.
if you study some basic html that might come in handy.
with dreamweaver you can use CSS verry easy, you hardly have to know what it is to use it. Only if you want to work with ID's or classes you'll have to do a little reading, but even that is realy easy.

or you use frontpage :p

I agree, DW is the best and a good tutorial will help a lot. The Lynda.com tutorials are excellent, you can DL them from the usual places.

[omgwirjo]

Dreamweaver :D
And I second manofstyle's suggestion of Lynda.com tutorials - they're really good. Of course, if you want to start a blog, you can use wordpress - and if you are potent in PHP, you can of modify wordpress to suit your needs - which is what I do, as opposed to programming a site from the core.

Just wondering on what bases you would say never use FrontPage?

Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Designer 2007 and Microsoft® Expression™ Web Designer are partially based on FrontPage technologies and will be launched in the second half of 2006. Microsoft® Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition were successfully launched in 2005.
Sounds to me like Microsoft is making FrontPage bigger and better and changing the name.

Your reason of “Because it’s so crap” is no reason.
I have used FrontPage 1998-2003, I have also used Dreamweaver. Both are very good programs, however if someone is trying to make a website for what sounds like the first time, I would strongly suggest FrontPage 2003 because of it’s “what you see is what you get feature.”( WYSIWYG) This will allow the person to design the look of his site and then be able to view and learn from the FrontPage generated code. Also the ability to open and edit a site live is very cool.
