John,
In the last 7 or 8 years, I've mostly
worked on WordPress sites. A lot has changed since the Front Page
days, and it has gotten better, but more complicated.? Cascading
style sheets have replaced all the inline styles that Front Page
used to add. ? They will save you a lot of typing in the long
run.? When I do straight HTML, I've often used Notepad++ (free).?
It is just a text editor, but has some syntax color coding and
checking.? It's not a full fledged html editor, but works well and
you can immediately view file in a browser.? If you are just doing
basic stuff, it's fine.
I've used HtmlKit as well, but I don't
think it is free, but maybe a free version.? If there are any
WYSIWYG editors, they are probably online based, which may or may
not work for you.? I'd Google around a bit.

Hey Brian and
others
I had a
legacy website that I built many years ago with Microsoft
Front Page last issue 2003. I used it up until Windows 11 when
it stopped working.? It is basically a similar to?word? html
editor?that knows about links and basic web architectural?
stuff. My files?are then uploaded with ftp (filezilla) since
the interactive features are?no longer supported by the
server.? I have been looking for a similar?replacement that is
just an editor?but no luck so far
Any
suggestions?

Well,
the best laid plans . . .
So after I sent out the note, I wanted to make a video showing
how to
create a post.? To do so, I had to register as a new user, as
my normal
login is as a administrator and it wouldn't look the same.? I
immediately ran into problems (this used to work).? When I
tried to
register, I got an error message (something about javascript
and
cookies). After a couple of things, I disabled a plugin on the
website
that blocks spam.? The error went away.? Now I was able to
register.?
When complete, it said click on the email it sent me to
activate.? Never
got the email.
I have trouble with this before on WordPress/shared hosting.??
So I
tried several fixes with either no luck or other issues.? It
seems like
something as basic as registering and getting an email sent
should work.
In the meantime, I checked to see if one of my test
registrations was
showing up, despite no email.? That is when I found that since
I had
disabled the spam protection plugin, we had received dozens of
new spam
registrations, in just less than one hour.? So I re-enabled
it.
That means, if you try to register, you may see an error.? If
you were
successful registering, you may not get an email.? That is OK,
I can
activate your account.
Important:? If you can register, you must put in your real
name. We
can't allow anonymous names or nicknames.? Your username, I
don't care
(prefer callsign of name/initial etc).? I need to be able to
recognize
who you are.? If I can't tell, I assume it is spam.
I will continue to work on this, and hopefully get to a
solution.? One
thing I know, I would like to drop GoDaddy later this year
when we need
to renew, for various reasons.? GoDaddy wants $100 extra to
get a
security certificate for a HTTPS://. With Bluehost it is
free.? Not
having a HTTPS is problematic.? Not because we need secure
transactions,
but because lots of stuff no longer works with only a HTTP
domain.
If you have registered, and know your login, I have updated
most users
to author, so you can try to create a post if you'd like.
Brian
