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 code italics and paragraphs by hand, while I'm writing, and then I have a story template that I just paste my stuff into when it's done. But I've used Open Office and Mozilla Composer to convert longer un-coded stuff, and both of those seemed to work all right.

I think you actually got iWeb with your computer, too. It forces you to work in a template, but some of them are nice and plain, and it seems pretty adaptable.

*nod* I have my own template that I c/p formatted stories into. It's just that I'm lazy, and hate doing the paragraphs and punctuation by hand, especially on anything over one or two thousand words.

I looked at iWeb, and it won't let me crack into its source coding for specific files. I shall take a look at Open Office, then. Thank you kindly!
