<http://abeille-cyclotourisme.chez-alice.fr/> When we started this bicycle website (above) over five years ago now (sorry, French only), we decided we would use either Claris Home Page or Dreamweaver 2.0 (offered as free download by Wanadoo of France at that time), on macs and on windows computers. I quickly abandoned Home Page in spite of its far superior interface because it produced not-to-standard html and moved to Dreamweaver 2.0 and BBEdit (my prime tool, together with BBTidy). Now that Dreamweaver becomes too cumbersome to use in Classic, I use Netscape 7.2 html editor (Netscape is a free download). It produces very decent html, incorporates local styles (according to CSS1 or CSS2 standards) in the html tags and overall does quite a decent job. Only problem: I do not use UTF-8 encoding yet and must decode the accented characters with BBTidy as if the page was created on a windows computer: simply confusing but not a problem really >It does mean keeping one computer that can run "Classic" but, as I have >exactly the same problem with Claris Emailer, that computer already >exists and will remain for the forseeable future > >I suppose the closest match I've found is "Go Live Cyberstudio" (the >earlier the better). I have "Freeway Pro", "NVU", "Dreamweaver" (ordinary >and "MX"), "IWeb" and I don't like any of them Beyond html editing (both wysiwig and in a BBEdit-like text editor with Tidy to tidy-up your html), you need A decent ftp tool. I use transmit <http://www.panic.com/transmit/> A tool for managing and optimizing your local and remote website file (a master file containing files easy to read in a text editor, a mirror file containing optimized files (unreadable in a text editor) and a tool for synchronizing all that with your website(s) more easily than with the FTP client. I use Web Site Maestro <http://www.tonbrand.nl/> A tool for dealing with images. I use Graphic Converter <http://www.lemkesoft.com/> Maybe a tool for preparing these photo albums (thumb nails). I use Mucho Thumbs Pro <http://www.muchosoft.com/>. Apple offer many free tools for doing just that You also may want to check Carie Burnstein's Accessible Design web tools list <http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/abtools.html> HTH -- Jean-Pierre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
