Hi to all users of the metalweblist,
I was quite surprised to see activity after so long. I just wanted to say that I my self started my first real HTML-coding, using the "GoldED" with web-plugins on my still beloved Amiga. Sadly as I moved on, I was forced to join the "dark side" using PC's and Macromedia Dreamweaver for co-working with others. After nearly two years I switched back to making HTML-pages by text, because of Dreamweaver's slow progress and abillity to keep up on standards. Today I use PC's for the most work on HTML, but I still think that "GoldEd" was the best program to write my HTML in. Espesially the full control it give's you over the tag's presentation on the screen. Sadly I don't have a network-card on my A4k and must use the PC to co-work. Hot tip: Learn to write HTML by hand before moving to use "WYSIWYG"-editors. This gives you an overhead on other webdesigners that moves straight to "WYSIWYG" and does not know how to adjust/make HTML-tags without their presious programs. Some witch are a bit arrogant by my means. Good luck with your work on HTML, Jack Thewlis. And sooner or later you should also try to learn the basics of "Cascading Style Sheets" (or CSS for short). Not so much support on the Amiga yet, but we never know what time will bring. Remeber, it is the content and it's presentation, not the cool design, that makes up a great webpage. The web is full of toturials, references and examples. Just start at one end and move forward. Yours Christian Madsen At the end - A big thanks to the author of MetalWeb, that made my snowball rolling back then.
