ok, you folks helped me make my webhosting decision, now im looking for a little feedback on tools to create and edit my site. im reasonably intelligent, but have no desire to spend a lot of time making webpages. somple little ditties to share my trip photos/experiences is all. i've done three ways. i'll tell you about those, and then you tell me what you think.
1. i make a page in MS word or powerpoint. i 'save as webpage.' it's awful and large and cumbersome. but it was also easy to make a 'slideshow'esque presentation. see here (www.leetonium.com/leakey/leakey.htm) for an example. took zero brain power to do this, but it wasted computer resources, is slow to load, etc etc. just awful, but it doesnt totally suck.
2. i use a template and the builder from ewisoft. i like this in general. it's free and it's WYSIWYG.
3. i use Nvu, the mozilla offshoot. a little more complicated than the eqisoft one, but im learning it. i like it a lot, and if i had a template for little slideshows, i'd be set.
i use irfanview for all my image stuff - resizes, etc.
my criteria are simple. i want things to look like #1 above, but done with better tools. i basically want to make simple slideshow pages with goofy comments. naturally i dont want to buy any software, i like freeware. i want a WYSIWYG tool.
if no suitable solution exists, then i'll limp along like i am. i just want to make sure im not missing an obvious area of optimization.
