I have KomPozer installed, but after using M$ FrontPage for years, KomPozer looks like it is going to have a learning curve and I want to get away from FrontPage and Windows. I know Mark (MHR) uses SeaMonkey. Wondering if there is anything else I can use on Linux that is easier on a FrontPage user. I found this article: http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmleditors/tp/aatpwyslinux.htm when I googled. Recommendations? TIA!
First of all WYSIWYG and HTML are really mutually exclusive ideas. The *best* you are going to get (if the editor is sane and does not make hardwired assumptions about the end-user's browser) is control over the relative placement of content. At worst, the page will like fine in one partitular browser, at one partitular window size, with one set of fonts installer, and look horrible otherwise, with text and/or graphics overlaping, etc.
That said, have you looked at nvu? http://www.net2.com/nvu/
The other option is to move away from 'hand edited HTML' and use a web-based CMS, such as WordPress.
Robert: KompoZer is a project that built on nvu, which apparently is a project that stopped. I just looked at Bluefish, incredibly powerful, but harder for me to learn to use than KompoZer. Your idea about using WordPress is a brand new idea for me and I will look into that, as another option. Thank you. Lanny
