Thanks for your input, Godfrey. I used little more than an HTML editor for a couple of years. If I could make a page with a table on it, I could make a thumbnails page. If I could make a black page with a photo and some links on it, I could really do the less. It seems like the freebee html editor back then was a Microsoft product (Frontpage Express?).
I've tried to find iWeb in my applications folder, but I must have deleted it. In fact, I may have deleted all of iLife when I got concerned about filling up my hard drive. I'll give Taco a look. Of the non-free editors out there, Freeway Express looks most like Name Web Editor, but I don't know a single soul who uses it, which is scary, Jeffery On Nov 7, 2010, at 6:08 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > On Sun, Nov 7, 2010 at 11:38 AM, Jeffery Smith <jsmith...@bellsouth.net> > wrote: >> I'm no longer a PC guy (computer platform OR politically correct).
