Yummmy... sounds very very delicious. Olive bread, you say? Have not tasted that before.

It is the best free tool I have come across.
Clean simple Wsiwig AND much better in many ways (especially for most things) than the bloated dreamweaver . . .
Yes, it has a clear interface and i am pleased that it even runs on this old laptop with only 48MB of RAM. No problems with it at all. Thanks for finding it for us.

You would be better off using your ISP webspace
Yes, but i am rather put out with my ISP at the moment. My site is down, they said it would be back on the 17th, but then left a voice mail saying there was a problem with the line and there would be a delay. They are having hardware problems (related to insufficient capacity in the neighborhood) and i can understand that - business is booming for cable and dsl providers - but i cannot understand how that affects access to my site.
I am increasingly coming to realize that portable webspace is important. What happens if a person moves to a different area where their original isp is not available? Here, if you live in apartment buildings, you are limited to the isp that has wired the building. My isp does not keep up sites for people who are no longer paying subscribers.
or maybe freebyte (go google) have a suggestion
Thanks for the suggestion, i'll give it a try.
the above placed a popup on your page
Yes it did. As far as popups go, it is fairly innocuous and i don't mind it, but it IS a popup and some people do mind.

Ok, have done this.

Good idea. Need to learn how to do this in Nvu - i know how to fake it - but want to see if the software does this.

Have done this, too. I like how it looks, the grey on white.

I appreciate your feedback, Lob. Thanks. This is fun AND there is so much to learn. At work, i use the commercial packages and they are, well, more like work! This feels more like play, composing in Nvu and wsyiwyg.
Anyway, those olive bread croutons sound wonderful and made me hungry. Soup time i think.
Happy Sunday everyone.
love and peace,
joyce
