Hey Steven...

I haven't found one I love, and went with Komposer. At least it's free.

Thanks

Kurt, is it WYSIWYG and will it run on Windows 7? I'll assume yes since you
mentioned it in response to my inquiry.

In the meantime, I'm reading so many mixed reviews on so many things that
I don't know what to do. I had Dreamweaver 4, which I loved, but it won't
run on Windows 7. I read up on Dreamweaver 8 and there seems to be issues
with it running on Windows 7, needing patches to work. Not sure I want to
go through the hassle. Plus, I don't need anything that fancy. What Dreamweaver
4 offered (an 11 year old program) was more than good enough for my
purposes.

Thanks

Kurt, I went to CNET and as of September 18, 2011, the download was infected
with a virus, so I don't think I'll be downloading it.

I guess I need to go to Best Buy and talk to somebody.

Hey Steven...

I was in the same boat 7-8 months ago as you are now. I used a program called AOL Press for 14 years, but it didn't make it to WIN 7, so I had to find something else.

If I were you, I'd just find a safe download of Komposer. I spent too much time downloading all the free ones, only to settle on Komposer. It's not Dreamweaver, but it does what you need to do to build simple, basic sites.

BTW, Komposer is actually NVU 2.0, with some bugs fixed.

Ah AOL Press. I used that when I first came online back in the 90s. I loved
that program. I don't even know what happened to it.

Thanks, I'll look to see if I can find a safe download.

Does Komposer have their own actual site?

Kurt, just downloaded Komposer from their actual site. It's perfect! Exactly
what I need.

Nothing fancy but it's all that's required to do a sales page.

Thanks so much. I owe you one.

I used AOL Press until I had to update to Win 7 about 7 months ago. IMO, it was actually the best WYSIWYG program around. AOL abandoned it in about 1998-99, but I could get it to work until WIN 7.

If you wanted basic websites, AOL Press was by far the easiest to learn and use and did all I wanted it to do.

I know html, but I don't see any reason to type out tables, rows, columns, etc, and just want my webpage maker to make these things fast and easy. Just get the basic stuff on the page and I'll tweak it using html if I need to.

I'm not sure if Kompozer has its own site...Since it's open source, I sent the zip to your AOL email.

It isn't great, but it is what I settled on. It works.

Thanks

That's what I downloaded for Ubuntu.
Haven't played with it much yet, but so far I like it.
I also downloaded Quanta Plus.
From what I read about them, the two together equal Dream Weaver.

Wonderful, but how good are they? Have you used them all? Do you have
personal experience, pros and cons?

A list of editors I can get from Google. I need people who have actually
USED something and can give me an idea of how good it is.

I've only used Seamonkey and Amaya. They're both good in my opinion, with Seamonkey being the easiest to use of the two. The fact that it's based on Mozilla and bundled with a browser makes it a lot like the old Netscape web browser that had a built in HTML editor. I like that I could just visit a page and choose to edit it really quick.

I just looked up Seamonkey. It appears to be a browser. I'm just looking for
an editor. Can I use the Seamonkey editor without the browser and still use
Chrome and IE to check for compatibility?

Seamonkey is an "internet suite" that comes with a browser, email client and a WYSIWYG HTML editor. It is very much like the old Netscape browser. You can certainly just use the editor and use Chrome & IE to check for compatibility.

... but I just looked into BlueGriffon which I mentioned earlier and I think I'd go with that over NVU over Kompozer mainly because BlueGriffon seems to be actively developed whereas NVU and Kompozer haven't released any updates for a long time.

BlueGriffon, being much newer than the others (NVU & Kompozer), is built upon a more recent version of the Gecko rendering engine (the same one Firefox uses) so it supports more recent technologies like CSS3 and HTML 5. Basically, BlueGriffon is going to be able to display things in a way more similar to how todays web browsers do.

I have downloaded Kompozer from below address. I am pretty sure this is clean.
Download KompoZer from SourceForge.net

BTW I am using it for last 1 year and it is very good in my opinion. You can also try out http://www.coffeecup.com/html-editor/ But it has a price tag of $49

Thanks

Although I now use Wordpress for all my sites I use NVU for editing pre-built sites.
So far I've been satisfied with it. It has a small learning curve and does everything I need.
But, from what I've seen and heard, the same people who recommend NVU also recommend Komposer.
I used to use Net-objects Fusion and was very happy with it.
Personally, I think it's better than Dreamweaver. But it is expensive.
I got it free when I subscribed to 1and1 hosting.
Don't know if they still do it but if you're willing to change you host, I highly recommend 1and1. The only draw-back is they don't use C-panel.

Anyway, that's my take.

Komposer is OK AND, as I recall, is the UPDATE to NVU. Basically, Komposer, like NVU, is an HTML editor with multiple modes, one of which is WYSIWYG. But for just regular WYSIWYG, why not use openoffice? WYSIWYG is a term first used when the average editor couldn't show things as they would print. NOW, many CAN! Most HTML editor CAN'T, though, ironically, so the trm is more meaningful THERE!

Yeah, I wanted to use AOL press, for HTML, but it was ALREADY basically DEAD when I looked at it, and that was before VISTA! BTW KompoZer - Easy web authoring

I agree. I just downloaded and opened it and it's just as good as Dreamweaver
for my purposes.

I mean sales pages aren't exactly all that complicated in comparison to full
blown web sites.
