I've had a fairly good look around (and actually found a few ftp sites with *nix software on them that I'm contemplating posting here someday) and found *almost* all the software I need. Many hours have, and still are, spent looking for available *nix software to do what I need to do. HTML *is* easy to code, the first sites I built were built completely with note pad. The usual swing followed to 100% wysiwyg editors which very soon lost their luster because while they were easy to use they took away too much control. The swing settled at programs like Arachnophilia & Galt WebMaster which give me the best of both worlds. * Type text * highlight text * click tag wanted on tool bar * done I work on corporate intranets a lot of the time, they don't want to pay for the time it takes for people to type in every tag by hand.
