Contributing an article

Post by Lord_Of_The_LEGO »

I want to write up an article for C-C.com, but I need a simple HTML editor. Any suggestions?


Thanks!

In the how-to section, there is a crash-course on html.

A simple HTML editor would be Netscape/Mozilla Composer. You can get the Mozilla suite by going to http://www.mozilla.org.

You can also you MS Word, although the HTML is very sloppy.

Nathan,

The editor I use is called NoteTab Light - it is a fairly simple writing program, but has several features that make it really nice to work with html. Especially it has tabs that lets you move from one page to another easily. veddy nice.

Do a google search for notepad and you should find it - their basic version is free, and the upgraded one is only like $20 - (which has html tags in different colors, etc).

It really depends wether or not you have a fast internet connection. If you have a good connection or do not mind tying up your phone line for a while, I really think Netscape/Mozilla Compser is the way to go. 100% free, and you can also just code plain HTML in it once (if) you learn it. Nothing fancy, but easy to use.

Thanks for the help.

However, Mozilla eats up my internet connection and Notepad only works on Windows :evil: :evil:

Could I make an article on my LUGNET member page and link to it from the How-To Page? Just a thought.
