I had set up all of my department and course websites using frontpage. I can't remember why I originally selelected it, likely it was free. I found it very cumbersome and if you use the templates there was considerable baggage that had to be installed. I switched to dreamweaver about a year ago and have been very happy with it. I found I had much more control over the look of the sites, no unnecessary files. One problem to be aware of. For the 2004 version there is still a problem with the FTP function. It will not connect to some servers. Although there are work arounds (I still have use the previous version for uploading files or use a standalone ftp program), they have not come up with a solution for 3 months.

GoLive? FrontPage? Thanks to all of you for your advice. I'd been leaning toward Dreamweaver or possibly GoLive, and now I'm more confident that my leanings are sound. > Go Live has too many darn palettes (the Adobe motif, I know) I know what you mean, Kathy. I love Photoshop, but most of the Adobe apps irritate me. > For the best help available on Dreamweaver, buy yourself Lynda > Weinman's "Dreamweaver Hands-on-Training book (Dreamweaver > H.O.T.--available from Amazon or from lynda.com/books). Sounds good; I'm going to look for that. Again, thanks to everyone who responded; all the advice was helpful. --David Epstein [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
