D.R.: Ever tried viewing a page locally in your browser while you're editing it? All you have to do is hit "reload" once in a while to see the changes you're making. But, judging from your unique writing style, I guess that's a little too difficult for you.

What dumbass would actually use notepad when they can use a builder like Frontpage to make their sites? I mean, I have a life... And personally from the looks of your site I could code your ass to kingdom come any day. But Frontpage saves lots of time if you are smart enough to use it. Pussies like you signify people who can't afford descent software if I may be blunt. Dikaiatu Get your Free E-mail at

D.R.: I'm sure you won't mind if I'm equally blunt and ask, do you work for Microsoft or something? Are you Bill Gates' personal love slave? How else can you so highly support such a lousy program as Frontpage?!

D.R.: Call me a minimalist, but I like pages that aren't bogged down with an excess of worthless images. It's the content that's important.

Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2003 23:16:24 -0400 From: Gabriel Rigg <gsrigg@ns.sympatico.ca> Please explain to me the purpose of this webring. Personally, I think that coding with an editor like dreamweaver is much more complicated, as there are more functions, and support for more technologies. Anyone can program HTML. I can program HTML with my dick. It takes no skill. HTML is even a real programming language. its a markup language. It has maybe 60 different commands, a 5 year old can learn em!. dreamweaver takes much more skill then html. Personally, I hate html, and i mostly just use php and perl.... sadly I gotta use HTML is my php, but other then that html takes no skill, blah blah, i learned html at camp when i was 7 |

Sat, 22 Mar 2003 22:55:56 -0800 From: DavidRMD Gabriel, First of all, mine is not a webring, it is a campaign. The difference is explained on the Made With Notepad Campaign home page. I would agree that programming with Dreamweaver is more complicated. But I disagree with your statement that "Anyone can program HTML". Many, many people take the easy way out and use a web page editor (i.e. Frontpage, Netscape Composer, AOL Press, etc.), thus bypassing any actual knowledge of HTML. That's why my campaign exists, to support those who have actually learned HTML and can make their pages the right way. Why is HTML so important? Aside from javascript (which has to be embedded in HTML anyways), it's the only language browsers understand. All other languages, including Perl and PHP, are server-side languages. The output of any of these scripts *must* come down to HTML at some point for any browser to display it. I'll grant you that HTML is an easy programming language to learn. But there's more to it than simply memorizing all the various tags. There is such a thing as "good HTML" and "bad HTML". It's easy to have a page appear totally differently (sometimes to the point of confusion) between two different browsers. Conversely, it's entirely possible to have two pages that appear exactly the same in a browser but have totally different source codes. The true skill is knowing how to use HTML correctly and efficiently, so that not only is the source code tidy and well-formed, but also so that the differences in appearance from one browser to the next are minimal. HTML may not be the most sophisticated language, but it is the foundation upon which all others exist. And "good HTML" takes more than just skill, it is an art form. Sincerely, David Rothschild
