Hi, I have been using FX3.1 for (occasionally) updating my website. I am now using windows Vista on a new PC and the program doesn't work. Could anyone suggest a free or cheap program for managing websites? |

"I am now using windows Vista on a new PC and the program doesn't work." Another good reason for not using Vista! (Sorry) I am not familiar with FX3.1. What does it do? |

I use Dreamweaver and you can pick it up cheap on eBay. |

It depends on whether you're a WYSIWYG guy, or a code guy. If the former, I'd suggest NVU/Kompozer kompozer-web.de/en There is a nice replacement for Notepad called Notepad++ link if you are used to coding by hand. -Mike |

Also for the WYSIWYG crow and for free there is "Web Dwarf"
webdwarf.com I am a direct code writer, but plyed with it and seemed pretty easy yet powerful. And you can not beat the price! DyeHard

I've switched to Linux after XP …. heard to many horror stories about Vista. NVU and Komposer are available for Linux too. |

I wonder, if dreamweaver can do absolutely everything flash can do? I've always wanted to make a blog site that had books the readers can choose to read, with the whole thing looking like a bookshelf full of books. I've always thought it would be neat to be able to rearrange the books too as a user, instead of as a programmar. I do know that flash websites tend to be slower if not programmed right.
I've tried wysiwyg and I've always came out with a mess. I've also used templates and got even more of a mess. It forced me to learn to code by hand. LOL

Drop Vista – Get Linux ;)
Especially since you get all the cool web development apps free with a typical bootable DVD Linux distribution for example Ubuntu ;)
So don't delay and try it out – if you don't like it you can always go back to your previous operating 'system' just by ejecting the disc. Good luck and have fun with your new OS :) |

XHTML, CSS (and MAYBE some JavaScript – especially the JQuery library) will certainly do the bookshelf thing – and it'll be much more user-, search-engine- and browser-friendly than a flash-based alternative. If you're using Vista you'll need the Professional version to get IIS web server for local building and testing. I'm a .NET bod – so Windows OS is more than fine by me – but for development and testing of the website, it's hard to beat FireFox (especially with all the useful add-ons). |
