style="mso-spacerun: yes"></SPAN>I am wondering how you manage your
website.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Did you get a consultant
to develop the format, or did you design it yourself. My inclination is to do it
myself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, I am finding the
HTML code is not intuitive at all.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I am working through the tutorial of a program called Coffee Cup (HTML
code editor).<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It certainly makes it
easier to enter the code and quickly view your results.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, it does not bypass the need to
learn the code.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This program also
has a graphic editor which is more intuitive.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, it does not support HTML5,
which I have learned is the latest language being supported by the dominant
browsers.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I like that concept of a
graphic editor, but if they are not supporting graphic editor with the new
HTML versions, it tells me they have trouble with that approach and are fading
it out.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The easiest method I have
identified yet is converting a MS Word document to an HTML.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is very intuitive.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I noticed that when I viewed the source
code, it was really long, thousands of lines.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am wondering if this will slow down
the loading of the page.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Another
program described in my book “Web Design in Easy Steps”, they describe another
program call Dreamweaver by Adobe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The book claims this is a robust program that includes graphic layout
features.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I would expect a significant learning
curve. They do not offer trial period installation or return policy.
The cost of program with training is around $200. No problem if it meets
my need. However, I would like to hear from some who may be using this
program. </SPAN></SPAN></P>
