Answer
LXP WYSIWYG software provided by my webhost, Homestead, with a sprinkling of self-HTML and JAVA scripting.
Answer
I use Frontpage on 3 sites and it publishes all changes. Plus I do a small site in simple html and upload changes via FTP. One footnote the html site ranks as well as the fancy Frontpage sites. Plus it is a sub-domain.
Answer
We use frontpage also. I like it, easy to create the pages, easy to publish the site also.
Our site has close to 100 pages, I can't imagine the time it would take to keep that up to date by "hand".
I have seen dreamweaver also, and have considered switching to that. But frontpage is paid for http://community.here.com/infopop/em.../icon_wink.gif
Answer
I use a realy fancy html editor called notepad.
Answer
Mac's "Textedit". My sites are like Frankentein monsters. Parts from here and there all cobbled together.
Answer
For creating the pages, I use a combination of hand coding and Dreamweaver, and I usually publish with Dreamweaver.
I have WS_FTP Pro and AbsoluteFTP (my favorite).
Occasionally I have a client who plans to use Front Page to maintain their website, so I create their pages with Front Page.
For images & graphics I use Fireworks. I also have PaintShopPro, which I am still learning. http://community.here.com/infopop/em...icon_smile.gif
Answer
I'm currently using Dreamweaver 4. Not happily, but using it.
I was forced to swithch when I bought a new computer in January. My old standby editor wouldn't run on XP Pro, so....
What I really miss though is the photo editing program that came with my Mavica fd75. Man I loved that program!
Now I'm using PSP7. It's fine, bit the ArcSoft program that came with the Sony did almost all of my needs fine, and some much better than PSP.
Answer
I'm using Adobe GoLive and a Mac G4 to create all web pages and html for Ebay listings as well. Publishes and updates files at my server also.
Program has run through several operating system upgrades with no glitches at all (that's Mac for you http://community.here.com/infopop/em...icon_smile.gif )
I use PERL for all CGI scripts running at the website.

When I get back from eBay Live, my pet project for this summer is learning Macromedia Studio MX, complete with flash. I have a book that walks you though building a complete website including ecommerce, it's called Building Websites with Macromedia StudioMX by Tom Green, amazingly enough. Paging through it, I like the look of Dreamweaver and plan on staying with that to build a site of my own.
