A while ago I had a Geocities.com site that I was constantly working on.

Then I got a new domain name (www.ZPGAMER.co.uk) I did some really quick stuff and uploaded it so the site is rubbish. So I downloaded CuteHTML and I intend to download or get Dreamweaver soon. But CuteHTML lets you use it after the evaluation date expires for some reason?(hehe :-))!

So I have started programming and it all looks great but now I am starting to write outiste of the borders on the left and write. And ME the Dumb@ss has forgotten how to make it so that you have your menu inside your coloured margin on the left (e.g Special Reserve and the blue one) and writing easily goes on the white part in the middle.

But I don't want someone saying use a Center align coz this dumb@ss already tried it (:-S).

If you dont understand me fully, then go to http://ukgames.com and look at the page you see a blue margin with a menu and writing on the right using a left align?

Please help me!!!

My first piece of advice is to ditch cutehtml.

Notepad - the answer to every html coders dreams.

Dreamweaver is only good for server synchronisation.

If you use a HTML coder to write all your stuff, you will never understand exactly how you are putting things together.

I'm waiting for Frontpage 2002 to come down in price.

What's new in Frontpage 2002?

Probably Smart panes that were used in Office XP. And that's all I know... except that it's now £150 at PC World, which is only £30 more than the price SR are selling Frontpage 2000.

Dreamweaver 4 is awesome - knocks seven shades out of FrontPage.

Flash 5 is pretty cool too, but I haven't had the chance to play with it properly yet.

There isn't a webdesign program that exists that is "awesome". They just look nice.

Trust me, it looks good at first but jtry and do anything complicated and you are totally buggered.

Seems fine to me! :-)

Yeah, very nice, but it's a simple site.

For example, my compo entry (http://www.tranquillity.f2s.com/new_wave) has a compplicated layout system to get it look right without cheating. If you tried to do that in Dreamweaver it would look totally wrong and just wouldn't work. I spent hours fiddling with the code for that to get it to work, something that is impossible for Dreamweaver because it doesn't have a foggiest what you're trying to do. It's the same for http://www.imagics.f2s.com/mixing_tin/design2.htm , Dreamweaver couldn't comprehend at all what I was doing, and I ended up spending 2 days and 3 major re-jigs to get it to work!

Webdesign programs, although adequet for beginner projects, just can't compare to the might of a frustrated webdesigner using Wordpad.

Wonderful...
