Re: [DL] Building a Deadlands site

Okay.

Start small, and don't use a web editor/designer program.  Use notepad (for 
windows clients) or vi or some other text editor.

You are going to have to take time to learn the designer program anyway - 
take the extra time to learn the base HTML coding, that way when the 
designer program does something weird to your page, you can figure out 
what's going wrong.

As time goes on, just continuesly add to the site as time allows.  It'll 
grow.  Or, as you learn more about web design, practise what you learn on 
your site and add to the content that way.

But I would certainly recommend learning the HTML code and doing your site 
"by hand" as it were.  It won't take long before typing in the html tags 
gets really dull, but nothing can really replace the ground based knowledge 
you pick up.

Besides, I haven't found an editor that didn't hose my code all to heck and 
back.

If you can't make the putts and can't get the man in from second on the 
bottom of the ninth, you're not going to win enough football games in this 
league, and that's the problem we had today.
