Which editor to choose??

[Bill]

Hi All,

Sorry for the minor cross-post!

Just wondering what editor to use to manage a simple website for my band. We
are a bunch of employed, professional 'old farts' that don't have the time
to learn a complicated program. I would be using winxp home with a
combination of my ISP's allocated space; a quaint 10 meg, and some pay
service like tripod (without ads) for the 20 meg provided. I will only be
linking homepages on each server to the other server and not navigating all
pages together. It would be a simple website (4-5 pages) with small audio
samples, photo page, calender and comments page.

MS Frontpage 2000.... (don't know how to use)
or
MS Publisher 200?.... (I've made cards and banners)
or
MS Word 2002... (I've typed leaters...without check spel
on)


What would be the most appropriate application that would suit my current
needs?

Thanks,
Bill

If you have FrontPage, use it.

FrontPage is for web design and management, the others are not.

Neither Publisher or Word were built to make web pages. They both generate
terrible code and it is best NOT to use either .... especially Publisher.
Word can be used for text but you need to learn how to import it into
FrontPage without all the 'garbage' code.

why not have it all on one server?
you may be making life more difficult for yourself with two.

Don't use tripod. There are many better hosts with
frontpage extensions and more features and better customer
service for probably cheaper or the same price.

I use dreamweaver but normally I use Softquad Hotmetal Pro. Hotmetal Pro has
by far the cleanest code. Most editors mish-mash code just making things
more difficult than it is.
