I use notepad for All my sites
Any Graphical stuff i need i ask my friends to do for me

[in_flu_ence]

I use Macromedia Studio for all my web designing job.
It has all the functions that MS frontpage cannot provide.
Though it is hard to pick the skill up, I have good fun playing the functions around.

Adobe photoshop is also a must for me to edit the photos. I have to admit that it has an edge over the photodraw by macromedia and mroe user friendly.

What about you?

i said in the first page :P

I dont like using a what you see is what you get page maker
it adds alot of code that isnt needed and uses up more Site bandwidth
i want to learn photoshop sometime though

[ktwilight]

notepad and photoshop for me.

don't really need anything else. since packages like dreamweaver and frontpage adds useless codes, and also doesn't support xhtml/css well enough IMO.

How do you use notepad as an html editor? Everyone says it's great but I don't know how it works. Do you just save whatever you've typed as an html file?

[monaghan]

As you suggested, just "Save As" and then select the "Type" as All Files and enter yourpage.html as the filename.

[ozzie]

You said, "enter yourpage.html as the filename." Do you mean for instance, if I just wrote an article titled "Questions", I would save it as questions.html as the file name? Do I need to put my website or domain name in the file?

[monaghan]

That's correct. No domain name needed, the web browser will use that to find your server it will then ask for questions.html which the web server will located and serve up to your browser.

[ozzie]

It sounds very easy according to your directions. I will be trying to use notepad again as an editor as soon as possible. I may learn how to do this after all. I think you're a good and patient teacher.

[monaghan]

If you want to learn, it might be best to get a free editor so you can design, then see the code generated.

I still do most of my HTML coding by hand (often generated dynamically by PHP code) as you get far more control, however I don't use notepad, give pspad a try, it's a free download.

[ozzie]

Thank you for the pspad link. I've bookmarked it and will give it a try. I sure appreciate the help that you have given me.

Dreamweaver all the way. DW 8 has helped me way from the beginning of web design and editing. It takes the work out of coding and it really helps from making mistakes.

[monaghan]

Tools like DW are fine if you have the cash (or are prepared to use pirate software). I still prefer the manual approach though.

[dwalliz]

I use regular notepad and then once awhile I would also use Word too.

[MasterMind]

All my work is done using Araneae, free html editor, but now I'm trying another called Lambda, freeware too.

[aquariancore]

Absolutely Studio 8. My site is set up 90% Flash with html side pages.

[Christopher2k7]

Adobe dreamweaver is my webdeveloper tool for all sense of the word. I use it all the time and prefer it to notepad but i save hours coding with it.

[webme]

I use Frontpage and Dreamweaver but if I am in a hurry, I use the notepad.
It is easier to load and always available whatever PC I will use.

[penguinmama]

I use AllAire (now Macromedia) HomeSite (about $100)... alleycode (free) and notepad (free).
