G'day Geoffrey, I mostly use gedit in highlighting mode , and sometimes nano (pico), so I can't really help you with Bluefish. However, just adding to what other's have mentioned, which may be of value to you, if you are a Firefox user there are some excellent add-ons that you can easily install in FF to make your designing experience a whole lot more easier. Two in particular are: - Web Developer: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 - Measureit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/539
Developer comes with a whole heap of goodies and is great for debugging, detecting cross/post (quirks) browser compatibility, has inbuilt editors for (x)html/css, and many other 'can't live without' features. Measureit is appropriately titled, as it measures in pixels (height & width) anything inside the viewpoint. See the above links for more info on both these add-ons. Both can be installed directly from FF: Tools > Add-ons and then search for the add-on accordingly. Also for some inspiration on what can be accomplished using CSS based design checkout: http://www.csszengarden.com/ Hope this helps and best of luck.
