Composer is truly WYSIWYG while Blue Griffon is a 'hack'!
Perhaps Composer is okay for your web site, but authors wishing to use
new technologies such as html5 and CSS will be better served with
BlueGriffon.
HTML is HTML no matter the version and with a text editor and a little
skill you can support any 'modern' twists that it ma take.
That's not quite true. Composer doesn't support HTML *5* nor CSS, and as I
remember, you can't even specify a modern DOCTYPE. I noticed your site
doesn't use modern CSS at all. Do you know what CSS is?
Another thing to consider is cross browser operation. The following is
taken from:
That's irrelevant to this discussion so far. Bluefish isn't related to
Composer or BlueGriffon at all. It is an entirely different kind of tool.
(I know; I use Bluefish.)
If you looked at my web site first glance you would not be able to tell
what I used to create it and most people will not care. Because I know
how to write code I decided that I do not need CSS to create it.
As far as HTML5 goes, most of the comments I have seen have been about
how do disable it on web site folks have been visiting.
Your are all hooked up on what Composer will not do for you instead of
learning how to write HTML code yourself. With a book and a text editor
you can write code to support any function you need.
Heck, you can even Google for the function you are looking for and cut
and paste it into your code and you will understand more of what you are
putting together than having some program put something together that
you do not understand and cannot debug or hook other code into.
To answer your question, yes I know what CSS is, yes I know what HTML5
is and discovered that I do not need either to build a web site that
conveys exactly what I want it to without a lot of gimmicky code which
adds no value to me or to the person that visits my site.
To steer back to the original point of the discussion, Composer is far
easier to use and create WYSIWYG HTML pages than Blue Griffon is.
This is my last comment on this subject......
