I've been working with a many-years-old (at least 10, probably more)
version of Dreamweaver (way before it became part of Adobe) and it seems
to do most of what I need. But I've never stepped up to using CSS and am
probably using a lot of outdated tools and code, etc. Would switching to
open source be a good route for me? Can I convert my existing sites
easily? And keep my own URL's?<br><br>

<dd>Hi, Steve--<br><br>
<dd>There is a teaching of Buddha that seems relevant--<br><br>
<dd>Do Not Believe in Anything<br>
