Re: OT- building a lightwave website

Personally I like notepad, and doing all the scripting by hand, maybe it's why I don't have a website of my own. I have made a few websites for other people, and I do have a Website Production Certificate IV.

I like getting my hands dirty :-)

This is silly. Is there no easy software out there to create a website with a blog, a slideshow and a video page without trying to figure out how you paste code into an html page. As far as I can figure out from the demo of Flash 8 it's for making little animations for advertising banners and such....and flash video too. I've uninstalled it...it wants you to dedicate your life to learning an overcomplicated interface to produce little cartoony animations...it's a deadend for the brain. Even if I could master Flash in five minutes you then have to put that into the code of your webpage which I don't know how to do without learning html. Every goddamn package from Dreamweaver, Flash, Go Live, etc etc requires you to know how to paste the code into a webpage's html code and I don't know how you do this without setting aside months of my life learning html. I've spent 2 days reading about html coding and understand you have a <html> tag, a <title> tag and a <body> tag and I should paste code thats these programmes generate in the <body> tag section, which I do....but nothing works.....errors. I don't want to pay others to do it, I want to know how you do it so I can manage and update my site. Every template I've seen (gone through hundreds) seem to be 'my company' type things with a few link buttons. I thought this would be much easier to understand than 3d software.....how wrong could I be. I must be missing some simple trick here, website designers are 10 a penny....am i that thick....don't answer that ;)
