Should i learn how to use Dreamweaver? People say that it is amazeing... but i'am looking for more of a WYSIWYG editro... unless dreamweaver is one of those????????

never took the time to look at it...

Dreamweaver is a wygiwyg editor but if you want a free wysiwyg editor try Nvu. Using a wysiwyg editor is ok but you need to also know HTML and CSS in my opinion for times you want to just make a quick change and don't have access to your usual editor.

To many so called web designers just install Frontpage and use templates then charge ridiculous amounts for the sites.

yea my school admin uses Frontpage and he sucks at it, he charged like 300 dollors for the site and 100 dollors a month for updates and upkeep, witch is ridicules, cause i could make a bettersite, useing MsWORD!

[Rick Brewster 1,387]

Well, $300 to start and $100/month for updates isn't all that bad to be honest. Divide that $100 by the number of hours of work involved.

That's government money...the only people who care about that are people who actually pay their taxes... I sure hope the IRS isn't looking...

I have learned HTML, but all these random people that critiq my site say, learn xhtml, css, java, and use flash... but thats a lot! what should i do? stick with html? or learn all these things, and yes, i have Macromedia Flash MX...

I hear this is a pretty easy way to make web pages:

Yes Google does make making web pages easy.

If you are new to making web pages I'd recommend either diving in their and writing them by hand (like I did) or downloading a wysiwyg editor such as Nvu and making webpages that way BUT also look at the code and learn how it works. Also remember that not everyone has broadband so try and keep the amount of images on a page to a minimum and optimise the images you do have.

For all you Frontpage lovers...

"FrontPage will be discontinued in late 2006" according to the microsoft web site: http://www.microsoft.com/office/frontpa ... eoffp.mspx

But now there is this coming out:

Expression Web Designer looks a lot like a renamed and upgraded FrontPage. I don't know if it's based on the same code, however.

Rick, did you see this?

http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/graphic_designer/demos.mspx?v=gd_fluid

did you have anything to do with that? Looks like PhotoShop on speed!

[Rick Brewster 1,387]

No, I haven't worked on that.

[RaveN 6]

Wow, that looks amazing, I want it.

[barkbark00 3]

theres a free demo on that website....

I've got the HTML editor and had a quick play with it. Reminds me a lot of Topstyle pro. Not seen anything particularly special about it yet. The graphics program I think I will miss as it looks as if it will be as complicated as PSP/PS

[RaveN 6]

Well it will be a different program from photoshop.

My main reason for getting it if I do would be the ability to combine vector layers and pixel layers.

I could always just run Photoshop and Illustrator at the same time and import files though.

I saw something about a .NET 3.0 package, what is with that Rick?

[barkbark00 3]

Yeah, any reviews I saw on it said it was more like combining Adobe Illustrator and Photo Shop...

[Rick Brewster 1,387]

I saw something about a .NET 3.0 package, what is with that Rick?

How would I know? Like I said, I didn't work on that program.

[carbonize 0]

Rick I think he means have you heard anything about version three of the NET framework being released soon.

[Rick Brewster 1,387]

Oh. I don't know when .NET 3.0 is supposed to come out. I think it's part of Vista too, so obviously it has to be finished pretty soon.
