I created it with Photoshop

Gotta be dreamweaver without a doubt.

Hi Diane,

Well I own Dreamweaver but I have to confess that I do all my html coding by hand. I will convert a file to a Dreamweaver one for a client if that is the way they want to maintain a site I create for them though.

I love the control I feel when I code it by hand. I find editors frustrate me - I feel boxed in.

Hi June,

OH I know what you mean. I love to code by hand. I find it takes longer to learn how to use the HTML editors than it does to code it yourself. And you have so much more control. I use an old copy of 1st Page 2000 just to view the pages as I code them.

I would have to say Kate/Anjunta/Bluefish. All are run on slackware linux <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I stay away from anything WYSIWUG...and if im feeling risky I go for some vim

I like coding by hand as well. I worked hard to learn html so I know if I become comfortable with pressing buttons then I'll start forgetting the format. I've used Coffee Cup editor for years and like the company that puts it out.

Yes, Coffee Cup has some great, user-friendly software.

I really like the new First Page 2006. It's great. You can use straight code or in WYSIWYG

Yes, I have used First Page for years and I'm glad to see that the new version is FINALLY released. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I use Notepad and that's all I've ever used(2 years now).
When I was going to school the teacher wanted us to use Notepad so we would learn the code better. One thing that I couldn't get over was how many students in the class were using WYSIWYG editors and had returned to learn the code!

I also use Coffee Cup Direct FTP which I was afraid of using until I read Diane's article on it and now you couldn't get me to use anything else.

Hi,
Glad the FTP article was helpful! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I too prefer to code by hand. vi, the unix text editor, is my editor of choice.

I use Dreamweaver & Crimson. Dreamweaver is good for newbies 'coz if you can't memorize the next step you typed in, it automatically prompt & help you with it. Crimson is good also 'coz aside from consuming low disk space, it is also a user-friendly editor.

I code by hand in Notepad++. The price is right and it has features to help you spot syntactical errors and preview your pages.
