Oh, the pain of setting up website pages. After signing up with Lunarpages (which provides excellent service, by the way) I proceeded to use their website editor called Pagemason. However, it is still in Beta and you know what that means. Lots of bugs, so I didn’t enjoy using it. My good friend Doris then recommended CoffeeCup, another HTML editing program, but somehow or other, I managed to screw it up, lol. At this point I was getting very frustrated indeed (now I know how werewolves feel) and even downloaded a trial version of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 as a last resort. Wrong move: what I saw before me was the Queen Mary of all HTML editors; Dreamweaver is arguably one of the best, but it would take my tired brain too long to learn all its mechanisms.
I was almost on the verge of giving up, but then decided to Google wysiwyg freeware just to see what would pop up. One of the top-ranking hits mentioned a freeware program called KompoZer. Never heard of it before, but went to its website, and decided to give it a shot. Well what do you know, this program followed exactly what I typed in, and as of now, hasn’t screwed up my HTML stuff. Yay! Kudos to the KompoZer team!
So glad you and HTML are becoming friends! Just like any software, you need to find the right match. Now…what about CSS? (ROFL)
Gee thanks, Doris. Hopefully KompoZer will behave itself, unlike the rest. Cascaded Style Sheets? That’s what CSS stands for, and that’s all I know about them. Period.
Glad you found something that works for you! That makes all the difference in the world. Looking forward to seeing the new site!
Thanks for stopping by, Jeff.

If you’re looking for a seriously good free website builder you should check this one out.
Hmm, OK, but the free version is lacking a bunch of things. Thanks, but I’ll stick with Lunarpages and Kompozer.
