what are you using to write webpages?

[Robert L Cochran]

I started out with Windows Notepad, then moved on to Homesite. When I 
began using Linux I did it on both Emacs and vi. At the same time I 
learned the joys of having my own web server.

In my experience the HTML editor is unimportant. Any old editor is just 
fine. What is truly important is your willingness to write html and css 
code and keep right on trying it out on your favorite browser until it 
works the way you want.

HTML and XHTML -- is not difficult.

Scripting with PHP (which requires HTML coding, of course) -- is a lot 
of fun and quite challenging.

Scripting with both PHP and JavaScript -- is even more fun and challenging.

Scripting with PHP, JavaScript, and extracting data from a backend 
database -- is the most fun of all. See any of the many books written on 
PHP and MySQL for example.

So, I wouldn't worry too much about the editor you use. Joe Shmo living 
halfway around the world doesn't care about your editor. He just wants 
to see your web pages. Focus on writing quality web page code.
