Regarding learning to code pages, there is an online training site (lvsonline) that does an excellent job. The courses are six weeks long, a lesson has some material to read, examples to follow, and an assignment to do and post online. One lesson a week. The last time I took one of the courses it was $25, you don't need to buy a book.

Susan, They do have a free version called TextWrangler. I tried it, liked it, and bought the more robust editor. The company is Bare Bones Software. I don't remember how much I spent. Probably wasn't much or I'd remember it. If you Google BBEdit you'll see links to discussion groups and much more. I've tried quite a few editors, some free and some not. There are so many to choose from. Some do not even let you see the code. Good luck, Gale Gorman (Robertson Co.)

Carla do you know how I can uninstall Blue Griffon? I looked at the website but I didn't have anything in the folder for Blue Griffon that the website stated in order to uninstall.

That's a tough question to answer. I don't think the code is complicated but then I really like puzzles. And then I have no idea how long it will take anyone else to learn anything. That isn't meant to sound snide but I'm self taught in whatever I undertake. If I was in a classroom setting or even involved in some user groups I might have an idea. Here's my approach: look at the code and try to isolate areas to figure out what that line or statement does, then modify it and see what happens. All code editors can toggle back and forth to view it browser mode. There are a lot of books to buy but most just seem to cater to whatever excites the author. You can go to http://www.w3schools.com and find simple lists of all commands with a description of what each one does. I'm sure most of us have inherited our website after at least one and maybe five other volunteers have worked on it. The WSIWYG users copy and paste with no idea what they are actually putting in. They just know what the end result looks like. For example, an old statement " " interprets as "non-breaking space" and it's rarely used in modern code. In ALL of the pages I inherited I'm finding as many as 60 of these statements in one long line and that line just contains SPACES. Then each and every data record contains all of the font statements when the font can be defined ONCE early in the page. My advice is to try a sample file.

I like to work at code level also. I'm on a MacBook Pro and use BBEdit. WSIWYG usually copies and pastes about 10X more code than is needed. Gale Gorman (Robertson Co.)

1) I think someone may have said, but be sure to do a full uninstall (not the same as deleting it) before reinstalling an older version. 2) If anyone is interested... MS has discontinued Expression Web (FrontPage), and you can download the current version for free at http://microsoft.com. Just be aware it will never be updated or supported. 3) If you use WP, be *absolutely certain* you keep all pages current and up to date. That includes themes and such that are not active. WP is fairly easily hacked if not kept up!! jimmy
Susie, I did download a template that I liked from there and was working on a new Index page. I have it saved. I have never used a editor that uses codes so I don't feel comfortable using them. I may try deleting and reinstalling Blue Griffon one more time to see if it will work again.
