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!

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.> _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
Lanny Marcus a ?crit :> Wondering if there is anything else I can use on Linux that > is easier on a FrontPage user. > Recommendations?People often think this is a joke, but by far the easiest way to build a website is: a) learn proper XHTML and CSS. There's tutorials galore on the internet. I preferred a (paper) book. Choose yours. b) use your favourite text editor. I like Vim, since it's light and has syntax highlighting. Here's Vim in action on a web page: http://www.kikinovak.net/images/vim.png And here's the resulting page: http://www.microlinux.fr/documentation.html If you really don't want to use Vim, I'd recommend Bluefish.

Thank you, to everyone who replied! Looks like for the moment, KompoZer is the easiest thing for me to use on Linux. It lacks a lot of stuff I'm used to in M$ FrontPage, but it is *far* easier for me to use than the Bluefish Editor and I will use KompoZer, until I learn how to do a lot of things in HTML with Bluefish, which is very slick. Reading the documentation for KompoZer....
