Query for those more knowledgeable than I.

[cherry]

Those of you who maintain your own sites -- how do you do your coding? I do most of mine by hand, but gave in and used AppleWorks to convert longer stories to HTML, just so I didn't have to search and replace every. single. symbol. The problem is that Mac has apparently discontinued AW, so I'm left with Word, which doesn't work for this function since it embeds font styles in every new paragraph. Does anyone have any recommendations, or do you all just code by hand?

I decided it was worth putting up with the Bugs of Efiction cause I couldn't be bothered coding stories. Because I am lazy as anything.

That is not at all helpful. *shame*

I have heard of this eFiction thing before, but only in passing. It is the software many people use for archives, is it not?

(I am lazy as well. I do not want to convert all of my paragraph markers and punctuation by hand. Bah, I say.)

Aye, that's the one. It's fairly easy to set-up (there's an Idiot's Option if you don't know what you're doing), then takes Effort to customise so it doesn't look ugly.

The problems mainly occur on the big archives (the Teaspoon's has a fair few problems over the years, anyways.)
