Okay, this is kinda a newbieish question, but I was wondering what I should use for making a web site. I have used Dreamweaver and Frontpage before, but I'm nowhere near much of an expert. I just mostly want something so I can make a decent site with. Also... if anybody has advice for compressing pictures and stuff so it loads quicker I would be apriciative of that. :)
Dreamweaver is a good one to learn with, especially if you don't want to learn too much html code. I also use CoffeeCup, it's a neat little package. Of course you can always use Notepad.

There are some great tutorials on there. As for image editing - if you are going to use Dreamweaver, I would suggest Fireworks - the two integrate beautifully. Photoshop is also an amazing graphics editor.
I don't generally have problems with image loading, sorry I couldn't help you out there.
lol Notepad hahahahahaahha
unless u REALLY know ur HTML down pat, i wouldn't try it......
hell, I couldn't even do a site with Notepad......
I mean, I could do most of it in Notepad, but I'd have to edit it in Frontpage or something eventually.....
my personal favorite is Frontpage 2000.....haven't had a chance to get 2002 yet, but I LOOOOVVVVEEE Frontpage, it rocks!!!
Ive made 3 sites with it, and I consider them decent.......lol
Seriously, I know just about what every line of html does and I could more than likely get a page up with notepad. But there are just to many lines to memorize all I mean think about it... tables, cells, rows, columns, and then the always hated filters. I am a whiz with html but notepad isnt the way to go. I use Stones WebWriter. Its free and works just as good as Coffeecup. Also it comes with a tutorial and a tooltip option in case you are new at html. Download it hereQuote:

One tip though, when installing it when it asks for a key press cancel. The key is only if you plan to use it for commercial use and not private.
I like frontpage myself. just dont mess around with anything that would require frontpage extensions (databasing and stuff like that, but like you said, youre a beginner)
Netscape Composer... is a good one.. you can get this by downloading th Netscape browser... or if you already have the netscape browser then you should have composer
Namo webeditor 5.0, eysy and have it all.
I always use notepad, if you know html, this IS the way to go. Editors always put useless code in pages.
For rollovers, imagemaps and slices in general i use Photoshop/Imageready, and cut/paste it into the page.
I would say notepad also but then there's UltraEdit (http://www.UltraEdit.com) its like a SSJ Notepad
