Top Style is a pretty useful tool as well. Clunky in a network environment.
Either the bought version, or the Lite version are nice. It is a CSS editor
first off.

I 've been using HTML-Kit, which you can download free from
<http://www.chami.com/html-kit/> http://www.chami.com/html-kit/, for years.
It's an HTML editor, not a WYSIWIG editor, so you'd only use it if you
prefer to code your own webpages in 'raw' HTML (as you'd obviously have to
with Notepad). However, unlike Notepad++, it's designed specifically for
editing HTML and related pages (XHTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript, etc), so
contains many aids to help you get the syntax right, as well as colour
coding (Notepad++ supports other languages too, which could be a benefit,
but also means less specific help for the languages you need for webpages).
And you can also easily upload files to the server by drag and drop.
From time to time, I've experimented with other editors, but have always
come back to HTML-Kit. There are tools you can buy too, which give you extra
but I haven't tried them.

One freebie you can avoid is BlueVoda. It seems to good to be true and
it is. Fully functioned with all sorts of wysiwyg buttons, etc. you can
drop in but you can't (a) edit raw code, and (b) save an XHTML file
locally -- only a strange *.bvf type which contains all your precious
content in some sort of binary format. However, you can upload your
page/site to the Voda Site Hosting Service just like that. How nice of
them!
So, can anyone recommend a free or inexpensive webpage and website
editor/manager somewhat more advanced than Notepad?
Regards,
Hedley
