About 2 years ago I upgraded from MS FrontPage 2000 to MS Expression Web 2. I think they're currently on Expression Web 3. Places like Amazon are offering EW3 buyers a free upgrade to EW4 when it becomes available.

Personally, I've very happy with EW2. Making the move from FrontPage was easy. The software is very similar. FP2000 wrote in HTML and EW2 writes in CSS, so there's a bit of a learning curve. But my websites look much better.

I don't know what they've added in EW3 and EW4. If you're just making standard websites, then EW2 should work out fine. And I'm sure it will work with Windows 7. You can pick it up for under $50 at Amazon.

If you want the latest version, it's around $140-$150. Actually, it might be cheaper to buy EW2 then get the upgrade version of EW3 ($50 + $75).

I must be one of the few people who still handcodes everything, including HTML and CSS.

I use something called EditPad Lite.

For a WYSIWYG editor, you might try CoffeeCup... I know a lot of people who absolutely love that program.

Rongo I handcode also, in the program I posted earlier. It's just a nice interface which makes the process smoother for me. Absolutely hate wysiwyg editors, total pita lol, always the 1st thing I switch off on a new wordpress install.

Did he really just say he used frontpage? Seriously?

You should upgrade to EditPad Pro. I used to be a Lite user, went to Pro probably 6-7 years ago. Can't live without it and so many useful additional features.

DT: I have the pro version on my other PC. But it's simply too full featured for me. Heck, I even find the lite version "over" featured. So much so that I often find myself back using EditPad Classic:

I just need a plain text editor that lets me type in my code, as I want, with no cumbersome buttons and windows everywhere. Thus, I ise the classic version probably 80% of the time to this day and basically use the Lite version when I have to do multiple Search and Replace operations with blocks of text, something the Classic version does not handle well.

[DonovanTrent]

Ah, see, some of the stuff I do demands some of the features of Pro, especially the ability to have like 100 pages open at once and global search/replace across all of them, or multiple iterations of the editor. But I get what you're saying.

If you handcode, all you need is NotePad and WordPad. :giggle:

I hope I'm not the only one around only using them. :ohnoes:

You should get EditPad. Lite or Pro, doesn't matter. Really.

I already have EditPad Lite, the free version. Actually, if I am correct, you were the one who suggested me to try it out on a previous thread.

I'm still more comfortable at viewing source codes and writing codes in NotePad though. Guess it's a matter of habit! :)

hehehe yea i use it for some things since i had it for so long and it was easy, but i use notepad more when doing a members update on my porn access site, but when doing stuff from scratch i dont handcode much, just tweak, think after looking around at the recomendations i got i will try komposor they all seem to have mostly the same internal engine and that one has tons of free youtube tutorials so i can learn it in a an hour without any hassles :)
