I hate Dreamweaver CS5...
 

I don't know why, but I hate it. Goin' back to CS4.

[/status update]

can you be more specific?
what things are you hating about it?

why don`t you use frontpage?

it's pretty much exactly like CS4, what are you talking about?

Frontpage :1orglaugh

new frontpage is top notch!

I didn't know they were still making frontpage. Honestly thought that shit died out 10 years ago.

i'd really like to hear why people don't like CS5... not just "it sucks".
Isn't CS5 native Cocoa 64-bit now? Why would anyone go backwards in version?

i say create the pages in geocities and see what happens. lol

i hand code my shit in notepad.... probably why it looks so shitty! :Oh crap Or I use a CMS.

I use Notepad ++ so far so good.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:Oh crap

So you guys have all the CSS codes memorized? Nice.

Me, I don't have all that shit memorized. So when I don't know how to do something it's fast and efficient to have it in Microsoft Expression and be able to see all the CSS code possibilities.

Or do y'all just keep a book of CSS right beside you and stop to look up everything as you go?

And what about the page declaration and all that? Do you have to sit there and type that out everytime you make a new page? You know a good wysiwyg these days like expression or dream weaver has templates where you can have all that already there and save a shitload of time.

I'm just thinking efficiency and time saved. Especially with CSS. If this was 5 years ago and all tables then I would say yeah...notepad is just as easy as anything else.

Doing shit in Notepad is for dinosaurs.

It doesn't make you look smart, or cool, makes you look like a fool. There is way to many great systems for doing code, css, whatever, why not use one or all of them.

Those guys who do amazing things with css, or with php and coding, don't restrict themselves to notepad, I mean why would they.

Be careful man. I used to do all my editing on my server. That was back in 1998. And when I fucked up and ruined the entire website it was NOT pretty since I didn't have a backup locally to pull from.

You not only should download and then edit...but make sure you pull down that fresh copy everytime and if possible keep the page in a couple of different places so you have the "good" original no matter what happens.

I'm guilty of the server edits as well, made a couple big fuck ups that lead me to doing the download/edit locally then upload (with backup file saved locally).

Don't ever count on the host backup. It takes two seconds to download a file, edit it, and then reupload it. Better safe than sorry.

I still like O'Reilly's Website and Hot Metal Pro.......:upsidedow

Why complicate things?

THIS! :thumbsup

microsoft frontpage is simple and effective:2 cents:

Lots of people claim to do everything in notepad but 99.9999% of them are full of shit. In fact, I bet most of them are still using front page express.

I used to love hot metal pro.. used it for years

harsh but spot on.

Truth hurts I reckon.

It's stupid to create shit from scratch in Notepad, but for doing quick edits I still love Notepad. Then again I use Notepad a lot otherwise too. I generally have anywhere from 5-10 Notepads open at one time...only to be outdone by the 10-15 Excel files I generally have open at one time. I admit I'm a dinosaur, hehe.

I make my own designs in http://artisteer.xu.am/

It's so fucking simple and you can make designs for the most popular CMS, like Drupal, DotNetNuke, and Blogger. And regular HTML-sites.

You dont have to write one bit of code and it's much quicker to work with than dreamweaver...
