I was just kidding bro I actually know less than you about it. I tried to use one once and gave up quickly.

Welcome to the forums. Obviously you've never used the ECS sli extreme. Very well set up and the bios is easy for overclocking.

Programs like Dreamweaver and NVU are great, but for someone just beginning, it's best to learn HTML and JavaScript thoroughly. If something goes wrong with your site editor or you need to do something your editor isn't capable of, you need to have the core foundational knowledge to back it up. My advice is to keep learning HTML and then move onto JavaScript before you try to work with a program.

Amen. A good knowledge of XHTML is somewhat necessary. Also, Frontpage and Dreamweaver might be easy to use, but the code they make is far from being "the best".

You can also try FPXpress which is getting harder & harder to find. If you use FPXpress in a google search, there's a few decent links at the 2nd entry for Dream Weaver from what I see by glancing at it.

I used to code by hand, so tedious. There were a few pages on Angelfire that i used as cheat sheets to easily c/p info.

I also found that setting a page up in Word, then saving as html works pretty well too.

I've used both Frontpage and Dreamweaver and I find Dreamweaver to be vastly better than Frontpage. Frontpage's code is notorious for being full of extra junk, but everything that comes out of Dreamweaver is suprisingly clean.

But yeah, the days of making web pages in notepad are prettymuch long gone. With such great WYSIWYG applications out there, why try and type out the code by hand?! But nicely done there Lead Head, for a notepad website, you did a nice job :thumb:

Not a damn thing wrong with ECS motherboards....they have come an awful long way from the day of being bundled with cheap processors at Fry's......and I heartily recommend them to anyone who is happy running their system at stock or modestly overclocked speeds

It's clean, but not very standard coding. That's the only down side to Dreamweaver, because it is very easy to use.
