I want to make a new website

[ZeptOr]

I use to have a relatively good knowledge of HTML, back when I was into web-building. I use to have a site and I did it entirely on Notepad. At that time I was around 14 and I did not know much about other programs. I remember telling people I made the site purely by Notepad and they commented on how hard it must have been. It was fun building it, and I want to make a new one. I kind of lost all my HTML and CSS knowledge, but I still got my book that I learned it from. What I want to know is a good program that I should use to make it. I am not looking for anything advanced yet, just strick HTML code. Thanks

Personally I still prefer notepad, I still do coding in that (and in the text box formed when you edit HTML files in cpanel's file manager)

If you want something to help assist you with HTML and CSS'ing, you can try using scite source code editor (its free, just google it); it points out simple errors, and can distinguish between html and javascript. It's really good at watching your steps, etc.

If you want to get a WYSIWYG editor, I highly do NOT recommend Microsoft FrontPage (it is the greatest hassle ever; I found it easier to code by hand than by Microsoft's weird coding). Check out Macromedia Dreamweaver

Microsoft FrontPage

if you get more advanced later
Dreamwaver 8

Notepad\Notepad 2\Some other text editor, seriously. It is 23498234920483 times better that you learn CSS, (x)HTML , etc on your own, rather than with some program that "does it for you"..

If you want I can get you some links to various sites to help get you started.

I don't think building an entire site in notepad is not a good idea.... In this fast modern world time is tooooooo damn precious !!

meh.. I just use cPanel's editor (that's all I really need)
but I downloaded Nvu: http://www.nvu.com/index.php

it looks good and it's free. Frontpage = Bad...

It's faster making a site in a text editor than some stupid program that outputs invalid code, and then makes you take way longer to learn the GUI.

So I am either going to just use notepad, or notepad 2 that looks better

or, dreamweaver, because I heard it is really good.

I use PHP Designer 2006 (link). It's main feature is the debugging/processing and color-coding of PHP documents, but it is also extremely helpful to me when coding in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS because it color-codes over a dozen languages right in the editor .
