Thanks, Philip! All good points and well taken. While iWeb is far front FrontPage, it still does a lot of kludgy stuff, I'll admit. I am looking at a couple of current HTML editors that do a much better job, with which I will redraft the web site, keeping a lot of the points you made in

I agree. In the past I've used a tool for things that are a little complicated like tables but then clean up the code by hand. Especially lately they all want to insert style sheets and other schmegma... I learned the editor in the early 80's, and HTML 1.0 in the 90's, and I haven't had any

I was looking at your site today, read through some of the early history of the Chicken Wagon, hard to believe that was all the way back in 2007... The log may have started in 2007, but the CW itself is maybe 2002. That one picture of my son, born in 2001, in back in the baby bucket tells

iWeb works OK, although it's dated and no longer supported. I'm just lazy in that I don't want to mess with coding and just want a simple WYSIWYG interface and something that will manage the site easily, which it does. If anyone knows of a decent Mac based WYSIWYG web editor I would like to

Beats me. iWeb has always done this when you use it to handle the FTP part of the file management. I find it irritating at best, and will probably just dump everything and use Fetch to make everything right once I get things sorted out. Dan On Aug 17, 2014, at 12:47 PM, Archer75--- via
