<http://www.arachnoid.com> - great independant HTML editor/pagebuilder.
Only one I've found that's worth anything. Netscape's Composer and
Microserf's Frontpage are both useless, as far as I'm concerned...but
Arachnophilia is pretty cool. You DO have to know some HTML already, but
there're guides and tutorials included to keep you from screwing up too
badly. Wonderful program - practically none of my site would exist
without
it...(I handcode still, using Arachnophilia as a 'spellchecker' and
template. Makes things go much faster than straight handcoding - the
program can do the tedious bits for me, while still leaving me with lots
of control of layout, etc)
