Replacement for iWeb

InsomniaCalls · 14 Jan 2008 at 18:46

Hi there,

I recently knocked up a website in iWeb and was feeling good about myself until it dawned on me that there's thousands exactly like it.

So can anyone recommend the best web editor for OSX? There must be hundreds that are better than iWeb!

I know my way around HTML but it's been a while since I built a website purely in a text editor so WYSIWYG preferably.

Cheers

Si

There's hundreds here.

Yer can't beat a good text editor. WYSIWYG's confuse me.

I'm looking for a more versatile WYSIWYG, iWeb is good and all but god! Trying to use it to type a blog entry means I have to always edit the template to "Colin's World" instead of stupid Evan's on one of the template.

Went out to buy a nice looking template only to find that they don't have a blog page for it. Argh. I'll keep my eyes peeled on this thread, shame I'm not *that* fluent with HTML...

I love NVU.

Very easy to use (IMO) and works well.

Isn't that an open source of what Dreamweaver does?
(still it doesn't support blogging :/)

How did you both get on with this?

Set up a Blogger/WordPress/etc account, make a theme that you like.

Use MarsEdit to update it.

Also look at Qumana, which is free.

Set a very quick one up at blogger: http://ojhaslam.blogspot.com/

EDIT: MarsEdit isn't letting me upload to the blogger server. Getting an unknown user error.

What username are you entering? Needs to be the full email address of your Google Account.

Weird, works fine here. I know that's not a great help

Could I have a setting wrong somewhere?

EDIT: Sorted, turns out my 'Picasa' hosting wasn't activated.

Starting to get to grips with Blogger. Think you'll find it a bit faster
