[ale] web page creation app

[Greg Canter]

Why don't you just go to a template site, one that "gives them away" is
best, modify the pictures and text, put it on your web server, get the
folders up w/ corresponding links, and that's it.   I am sure your host has
a place where you can ftp your site to on a webserver ??  Don't worry about
CSS and JavaScript - just start out with basic HTML and it will probably do
about 99% of what you want.  Besides, most template sites give you a css
file anyway.  You can Google for a site to use as a reference for HTML
(dozens of them out there) or CSS if you need to know what is what.

You can use any text editor for this stuff.  Vim, emacs, gedit, kedit (or
what ever KDE has as it's editor) are all fine.  Making adjustments to a
simple site and hitting "refresh" to see what you have done is better than
writing it from scratch.

If you have any questions you can ask them here.  A web site of static
content is nothing more then a bunch of files on a web server anyway - kinda
like a big file server when you think about it.  Unless you want a web "app"
you really don't need a database and a CMS or any of that stuff. The
principle of KISS is your friend.

But if you want an IDE a search for "html ide linux" (
http://www.google.com/search?q=html+ide+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org
.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a ) brings us to here (
http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Devtools/ides.html) where you can take your pick
of a multitude of IDE's.  For HTML I would start with Quanta+ or Bluefish if
you **really really** want an IDE.



Good Luck,

Greg
