raw html good. notepad good. front page bad.

heha!
there's also zope at zope.org I think
it's too complicated for me though.
I use UltraEdit32 for all of my text-editing needs, be it HTML or programming in other languages like Java, Perl, or C++. It's very slick and can handle large files. When you install it, you can replace notepad.exe with a file that points to UltraEdit for those apps that call notepad directly. It does syntax highlighting to make your code easier to read.

As for updates to < my site > (which you should visit, please give me a reason to live), I use the <iframe> tag, so I can keep the menu and the news in seperate HTML files, and I only have to update one.
Actually, I don't know any html (except the italics tag). As for CuteHTML, I was on a school computer last year, right clicked on the recycle bin, and one of my menu options was 'Edit with CuteHTML'. Is there something fundamentally wrong with that?

And in doing so you make your page unreadable by netscape users. (Which, incidentally, I don't use except to make sure everything is cross-browser compatable.)
Bah... down with the multitude of new tags (blink, marquee, iframe etc.) added by microsoft and netscape in order to make people use only their browser. Join < WaSP >.
btw: I usually use textpad < http://textpad.com > for anything that I do in Windows. It's pretty sweet cause you can get files for almost any syntax highlighting that you need to do. the ones I use most often are HTML, Java, C/C++ and UnrealScript.

regedit
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
1. click on the *
2. then click on shell
3. then add a new key: "Open with Notepad"
4. click on Open with Notepad and add a new key: "command"
5. click on command and add a new string value: "notepad \%1"
please note: when you get to #5 you may not have to add a new string value if it has one already in there called (Default) just double click (Default) and add notepad \%1 (yes there is a space between notepad and \%1)
i didn't figure that out myself, someone at work showed it to me. if you have any problems i can save the reg file and put it on the web for you to dl.
i hope that helps someone.
Newspro is what cr0 uses and I've used it myself serveral times. It is an extremely well written perl script which is even easy for newbies to use.
I highly recommend it ;P

As for news scripts, it depends on what you want to do. I am using < PHPNuke > for my < site >, but that's a whole site management suite. Same with PHPWeblog, Slashdot, et al. If you want *just* a news script, then yeah, newspro sounds good
Or you could just write your own
