Cristy,
    Many web producing apps will add their own program name within a page's 
META info.  Download one of the pages that you know was made with it and 
open it up in WordPad to see if this info is included.

    As for learning a more complicated HTML editing app, the more popular of 
them include FrontPage and Dreamweaver.  However, FrontPage has since been 
replaced by MS and, therefore is no longer produced or included with certain 
Office versions.  The replacement app's name escapes me at the moment, but a 
quick search should easily bring it up.  The thing about FrontPage is that 
it relies on external resources to render its interactive abilities called 
FrontPage Extensions.  These extensions much be installed directly on the 
server used to host the site or else the special effects won't work.  For 
this reason (as well as a few others that I won't expand on here), it's 
probably best for you to look to Dreamweaver for what you need to do.  Like 
all Adobe products, there is a learning curve.  So, I would suggest you get 
yourself a "Dreamweaver for Dummies" book or something similar to help with 
your progress.  I absolutely LOVE the 'Dummies' series for their ability to 
explain complicated subjects in simplified terms.

Peace,
G
