HTML editor help please

[Sholly]

Hi

I am new at building my own websites.
I have been posting and writing stories for other sites, but am ready to make a few of my own.

Looking for an easy HTML editor that is freeware for now.

Yes Kompozer is simple and good to use as a free editor.

Kompozer is a dead project, last updated in 2010, use BlueGriffon.

Take a look at Coffee Cup Free HTML Editor. I use it to change the themes on all of my blogs as well as to build static sites. Great little program.

I like BlueFish on Linux, Coda on the Mac is awesome it's well worth it at $99 (free trial though) and I use notepad++ on windows.

Sublime Text 2 is ff***** great!

Kompozer and CoffeeCup have been mentioned a few times in this thread and both are easy to get on with and have some decent features.

Don't do it. Seriously.
People are well meaning here and suggesting you some fine pieces of software.

HOWEVER, I read in your post the intention of building an entire site and updating it, using such tools.

That was the way to go in 1996, but in 2012 is suicidal (if I read your intention correctly). An HTML editor might be occasionally useful to tweak templates and the like, but you don't want to have it as your daily way to update a site.

Apologies if I misread your intention :-)

You get a 30 day free trial with dreamweaver so for your first websites I would use that

Are you on Mac or PC? Kompozer while old, is still good, as well as something with a fish name for Mac
