Thank you Israel,
So I have downloaded Kompozer and it's a .tar.gz file. I created a new
folder on the desktop, named it Kompozer, and extracted the contents
of the .tar.gz file into the Kompozer folder on the desktop.
What's next?
I've looked into other kompozer threads but haven't found them
helpful. I'm running Lubuntu latest version by the way.
Thank you for your time!

Kaye,
I must agree that KompoZer [http://kompozer.net/index.php] is long in
the tooth (though not by quite 8 years - it's more like by 4 or 5), but
I have found it useful in the past; almost exclusively (for me anyway)
for it's CSS extrapolating and editing features. I also agree that
Seamonkey's Composer [info here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeaMonkey#Composer] is a great WYSIWYG HTML
editor, is kept way more updated than KompoZer and will very likely do
what you need. BTW, I also rely on Geany
[http://www.geany.org/Main/HomePage] when I need to "Tweak" the html
Seamonkey outputs and/or make many find and replace changes at once.
If you'd still like to use KompoZer... picking up from what you said you
did with the KompoZer download; inside the folder you had made on the
desktop called Kompozer, you would now have another folder called kompozer.
1. Go to Menu --> Accessories --> LXTerminal or [Ctrl]+[T] and type (or
copy and paste): gksu pcmanfm, provide your password.
2. View the files as Directory Tree
3. Select the kompozer folder, right-click and choose cut from the
drop-down menu.
4. Navigate to /usr/share. Select the "share" folder on the left pane
(single-click).
5. Right-click an empty space in the right pane and choose "paste" from
the drop-down menu.
6. Right click an empty space on the Desktop and choose "Create New...
Empty File" from the drop-down menu.
7. Enter the name for the empty file as (or copy and paste):
kompozer.desktop
8. Right click the file and choose "Leafpad" from the drop-down menu.
9. Copy and paste the text below into the file.
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=KompoZer
Comment=WYSIWYG HTML Editor
GenericName=KompoZer
Exec=/usr/share/kompozer/kompozer %u
Icon=/usr/share/kompozer/icons/mozicon256.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GTK;Qt;Development;IDE
StartupNotify=true
10. Save. "X" out of the shortcut.
11. Right-click the shortcut on the desktop and choose cut from the
drop-down menu
12. Navigate a little further to /usr/share/applications. Select the
"applications" folder on the left pane (single-click).
13. Right-click an empty space in the right pane and choose "paste" from
the drop-down menu.
You probably want to get rid of the
kompozer-0.8b3.en-US.gcc4.2-i686.tar.gz file and the Kompozer folder you
made for it on your desktop. To get rid of them both quickly and without
bothering the trash; select the Kompozer folder, hold down the [Shift]
key and click the [Delete] or [Del] key.
If you do decide to use SeaMonkey; see these step-by-step instructions
just for Lubuntu with screen shots and everything here:
