wanting to create a website

[Trigger]

I'm interested in why you think Notepad++ is crap? I've found it to be an excellent lightweight editor.

I just find the interface too confusing to be honest- I find notepad2's interface much simpler and nicer to use that's all It's most probably me not knowing how to use most of the functions in notepad++ but for my needs, notepad2 does the job best

And on the dreamweaver front, I wasn't aware that there was a code editor in it having used it for about 5 minutes and then ditching it A bit of a big price tag though for a code editor

I agree that you shouldn't use Dreamweaver, etc. I used it to create websites for a long time. What you find is that you don't understand the code and why it does what it does. DW is ok for hum-drum sites but if you want to create something personal and unique then I think writing every line of code by hand is the only way. It also means you know the code intimately if you want to make a small change, etc.

And it's more fun and you learn a lot more

Downside is that you spend half-an-hour wondering why it looks rubbish until you spot the dumbass typo you made in your code, but it's part of the experience

Sounds like you and your code need to get a room....
