Re: OT - web editing software for Mac
Thanks to all of you who replied to this email post. Most if not all of these programs have a free trial period, so I'm going to download a heap of them and see which has the look and feel I am most comfortable with. Thanks again!

Re: OT - web editing software for Mac
That is my preference too. I don't care much about WYSIWYG, preferring just to make some thumbnail pages and photo pages on a black background. I'll give it a look. Thanks Adam.

BBEdit or TextWrangler are what I use the most, editing HTML. They're from the same company (Bare Bones Software). TextWrangler is the freebie version. BBEdit includes very good HTML templates for most HTML constructs and has a bit more powerful scripting capabilities. Another option is Taco HTML Edit from http://www.tacosw.com/. It is basically a 'smart' HTML editor with the ability to display live previews of your pages while you work if you so desire and a somewhat more sophisticated library of component templates that allow you to assemble some of the more modern, fancier bits of HTML UI easily.

Re: OT - web editing software for Mac
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).

What I do more of the time these days, beyond creating the simple, non-public client pages I deliver work with, is create web galleries in Lightroom and then edit the HTML with BBEdit/TextWrangler to customize it. An example is this user gallery for an event I covered in June: http://www.gdgphoto.com/mcccs/ It took me just a few minutes to add my customized headers and the QuickTime video presentation to the pages as exported from Lightroom. I then just FTP the whole folder up to gdgphoto.com and can add a link to the appropriate place on the site main pages if desired. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: OT - web editing software for Mac
This is WYSIWYG, but I like Shutterbug. It is quite different than any other program I've used, and in fact I didn't like it when I first tried it.

Dreamweaver is actually very good as long as you *don't* use it in WYSIWYG mode (except for minor clean-up after the real design work is done). It can help you automate lots of tasks and speeds code writing a lot. It does code validation adequately (though not as thoroughly as the w3c validator). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
