I prefer the traditional way. I like HTML, that language is really simple...
nothing to do with programming languages as C, or even Basic (which I learnt
in its non-visual version 4 yrs ago and I should really revise).

I use EditPlus, an HTML editor. It allows you to compose the page in HTML
and view it whenever you want. You're choosing the color you want as
background and you don't know if you like it? You write the code and view it
in the browser window the programme includes. No need to connect the
computer to the www and freedom of using plain HTML. Barry mentioned MS
Word. I hate it! Why? Try to write 3 phrases on three different lines, then
go to see how many *pages* the source code is long. You'll surely agree with
me : )
