from scratch and using editing programs. Enjoyed both. My favorite "cheat sheet" book is HTML for the World Wide Web by Elizabeth Castro. Easy to use and a snap to find code when you need it.

I have found that I prefer using combination editors - like Dreamweaver and Netscape's Composer. I like being able to "see" the page but I also like being able to do any hand coding that I want.

I have had two or three HTML books, but have loaned them to a friend (whose web site I developed and maintain for them). Instead of keeping books around, I keep WebMonkey bookmarked for quick references smile

I like combination editors too - I used 1stPage for about three years, but as it dispappeared from the site for a while I switched to TSW Web Coder, which is very similar. I use NoteTab for quick edits sometimes.

I usually stick to ebooks - our house is so crowded with books it can be hard to find the one you want! But of course when my PC is off, an ebook isn't so handy. smile

Dianne, just wondering what your thoughts about Macromedia's Dreamweaver is. That is what I am currently using. I found it to be very easy to learn, it allows me to "see" both the coding and the actual layout in the same window, and hand coding is very simple to do in it.

Another plus is that I can write my site's newsletters in Dreamweaver and it is a big improvement over the previous way I was doing them (basic text with links).

I have considered learning MS FrontPage, and I think Adobe has a program, but I can't recall the name of it right now. I do hate the idea of learning more programs if Dreamweaver will do what I want it to do.

I haven't used DreamWeaver myself, but I know many people who say it's a very good program. I might give the free trial a go (any excuse to try out new software!)

This site has some FrontPage tutorials, which give an idea what the program is like, for anyone thinking of trying it out.
