Oh I absolutely agree there - funny codes I change via the text editing option if they interfere with my page setup else - else it works on IE at least and the majority of the website's audience is on IE.

I am at the point now where I need (and want) to design a website. For now it won't be anything wild ... still need to sort out alot of things, but I need the site to be available, and give some general information ... so a one pager for now.
To recap all the programs in this thread:
Nvu
RapidWeaver
Kompozer
SandVox
TextMate
Smultron
and of course Dreamweaver
Out of the above, can you guys make any recommendations?

dreamweaver.
Dont discount a cms though - or for a small site even the new version of iWeb (part of the iLife 08 suite)
Duh!
cms? I had a look at iWeb last night, just before my MBP died, but the flexibility seems to be lacking ... Maybe iWeb '08 needs a visit
Yeah, amongst other things the new iWeb is reported to have better support for personal domains.
CMS - content management system such as Joomla.

Dude, how can you justify that if you're working on a Mac, for which IE isn't even available (since v.6 onwards)?

Are you still using frontpage?Couldn't resist, no offense intended.
Aahhh.. well, that took 3 days but I think I am getting the hang of the sef teaching now... DREAMWEAVER....
Have redone the site using templates instead of frames - what a bloody learning curve from Expression Web (FrontPage). But I think I have got the jist of it now.
Have managed to upload the site - cleaned off all my old pages with the FrontPage encoding and and and... I deserve a medal DAMN!! that was interesting.
Must still get to grips with STYLES though... am still relying on the older font tags.
Heh...late to the show, but I use Komodo Edit on *nix, and it's cross-platform. I absolutely love it. May not be exactly what you're looking for, though.

I am still amazed at the clutter that is being cleared by DW.
A 18 kb file converted to HTML via Word and edited in FP resulted in DW cleaning it up like this:

You should really try to learn CSS. I took me a while but you can create some great websites with it and you can change the style of the entire site quickly and easily.
I bought a book but there are plently of free online tutorials...

I use Photoshop to create the design and export the CSS layout and then use Dreamweaver to clean it up and add content, I then use CSSEdit to edit the styles.
But please please please don't use Word!!!
I am not using Word anymore, I am redoing a site and that was one of the old pages I cleaned up after switching to Dreamweaver.
