WEB EDITORS REVIEW

To Web Editor ... or Not

I am asked this question often.  I don't have a definitive answer.  I only have inklings.

There are a few times when an html editor is real handy, such as

1. creating lists (like this one)
2. creating tables (invaluable)
3. placing and sizing images, especially if you have a bunch
4. fancy formatting (rarely needed in a website)

Other than that, unless you are already familiar with an html editor, stick with BlockBuilder, at least in the beginning.  All the fancy stuff in html is really nice.  But that's sprinting with style.  First you learn to walk, then gallop.  If the mood is still with you, then tackle html editors.

The Hybrid Approach

There are a lot of people who have some familiarity with html or editors, but who are not yet comfortable doing a whole site "upload your html".  

For these folks try the following:

Create your pages in your web editor.  Any web editor will do.

Delete all references in the top of the html code up to and including the "body" tag.

Delete all references at the bottom of your html code, notably the "body" tag and the "html" tag.

Use the BlockBuilder system for entering your basic information: the url, the keyword, the title, the headline.

Then open ONE text box.  Copy and paste your html code into that text box.

If you are comfortable checking on linking code and image coding, then this may be a good option for you.

You also have the option of using BlockBuilder's text links, image placement, ezine form and other forms if you like.

The Web Editors Review: Which HTML Editor to Use?

Awwww, gee.  They all have advantages and disadvantages.  I haven't found the perfect one.  Web editors are kind of like teenagers -- none of them are perfect, but you kind of love the ones you know.

My best suggestion is to find one and learn its quirks -- and they all do have quirks.  I used to recommend Namo Web Editor, and while it's not bad, it's not perfect.  If you have a question or a notion, do post here.
