I will start this topic off with a pirate just because I think he is cool. :D Anyways, HTML is the best thing in the world!! :S I say this because I am making a MGS(Metal Gear Solid) site from it. :P I mean notepad all the coding the whole shabang. :P Yeah I am a mess. Anyways, just wondering if anyone else enjoys the HTML. :) I know I do......at times.

I would use a program to make my site but, I worked with DreamWeaver at school and let me just say this; It doesn't weave no dreams only NIGHTMARES. So I am better with Notepad and memory. Sooo much fun! :wub: Sometimes it gets messy you just have to have a way to do it. :)

So if you bulid websites what are your techniques or what not. I am curious to see if anyone is as crazy as me. :wub:

I'm assuming you are on Windows, try Notepad++ for coding, much nicer.

Yup, it's pretty ingenious when you think about it. ^_^ I always code from plain text and scratch, so power to ya. Look into other areas to enhance web pages afterward though, because HTML in itself is very dry.

Well I also use DIV. (Not on skins here but with the HTML) To tell you stupidly I have no idea what it is I just know it makes my web pages look more pretty. :)

Hehehehehehe I do feel special at times. Because I will show my parents what I have done and they are just like "awesome" and stuff like that. I feel good. LMAO! But they are just dumb. :P

Please do the internet a favor and design with CSS and DIVs. Tables are a pest to the web, and make loading pages slower.

(A table can not appear on your screen until all of the table has been downloaded, DIVs can render and show one at a time, so you can see content before the rest is done downloading.)


Plain text design is okay, but Notepad++ is much better. It gives you syntax highlighting, which is really very nice once you start to dwell inside of PHP and the such. I assume you will want to learn PHP later, it would be a wonderful idea...

Also, editors such as Dreamweaver are pretty pointless. Free editors give you all the features you need, you only really need Dreamweaver if you want to develop in Cold Fusion. A text-based editor with highlighting (ex: Notepad++) is generally the better option.

Quanta Plus should have a Windows port within a year or two, that will DEFINITELY be worth getting. It has features I have yet to see in other web editors, and has wonderful project management.

I always use HTML and CSS for my templates. I also love to code from ground up with notepad, and not using other programs, but I will try that Notepad++ ;)

dream weaver isn't pointless, though it can turn you into a lazy coder, since it adds all the doctype information and such for you.

I have downloaded and tried Notepad++ and it is really amazing! It will help me a lot with my HTML/CSS coding. Thanks a lot for suggesting it ;)
