Web Page Develpment

[el Diablo]

Does any one know of a freeware program that works something like Microsoft
Front Page? I would like to make some fairly simple web pages and I don't
know any HTML so would like a graphical interface to work with.

Thanks
Brian

There are lots of WSYIWYG HTML editors available. One that I like and
use often is Nvu, which is available for Linux and Windows:

http://www.nvu.com

It is similar to the Composer component of Mozilla and Netscape.

Pablo's Webbuilder:

Only an 250Kb Download. Very nice program.

Internet Explorer FrontPage Express (usually installed with the
Windows OS)

OR

Mozilla browser suite with webpage editing program called "Composer".

From personal experience I would recommend against Frontpage
Express, as it produces horrible non-standard HTML code. I recently
cleaned up another simple webpage of a coworker made in Frontpage,
and it went from 26kb to 4kb without a single change in the rendered
page.

If the OP really needs to stick with WYSIWYG, go for Nvu (as other
suggested), since at least it has a commitment to producing
standards-compliant and clear HTML. Else, I'd recommend learning a
bit of HTML (not very hard!) and hand-coding the pages.

I'll second that - Composer is straightforward and easy to use. Download
the newly released Moz 1.7.5 here, go for the custom install, and choose
Mail&Newsgroups; you will also get Composer.
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.5/

This will give you Composer plus a really great browser and email
client, and they all work together well.

Nvu is the stand-alone version of Composer, http://www.nvu.com, as Firefox
and Thunderbird are also now stand-alone Mozilla suite modules.

Blink from Wojanware is nice and has become freeware. It is somewhat
similar to FrontPage with a Preview screen, HTML screen, and Browser
screen.

I like NVU, but it's not without a few quirks and bugs.

If you already use OpenOffice.org, it has a decent WYSIWYG HTML editor. In
fact it's presently my favorite.

Blink looks interesting. I've bookmarked it to visit another day. Thanks.
