Do you really need to spend a load of cash to create web content?? Nope.

Do you need to build a Web site? Or do you need to create a nice ad for Craigslist and don't want to have to code the whole thing out? Well sometimes I do, and I refuse to fork over any cash to Microsoft or Adobe for some bloated overpriced piece of software that gives you ridiculous bloated code. Well now that I have that off my chest let me introduce you to KompoZer, a great FREE web authoring system.

KompoZer allows you to create a web page using WYSIWYG like a word processor without knowing a thing about HTML. After or during your creation process you can tab over to the created code to make changes to it directly or to copy the HTML code and paste it into your Craigslist ad. You can also tab over to what the page will look like on the web, or to a tab that shows all of your HTML tags. You can easily upload your web pages directly to the server hosting your web page (no need to use a separate FTP program). You simply add you host's information and click the Publish button.

Does anyone remember NVU? If you said yes then you will be pleased to know that KompoZer is the unofficial bug fix release of NVU which was officially discontinued and is no longer available for download as of 2008.


WARNING:  Do NOT download Nvu from some site that you Google on the Internet! Some of these sites are scam sites, asking for donations for Nvu or asking you to pay for some additional software. Downloading from one of these sites might install viruses or malware onto your system. Since there is no longer an official site for Nvu, use KompoZer instead. KompoZer is really Nvu with a name change and bug fixes.




KompoZer comes in Windows, MAC OSX, and Linux versions. Here is a link to a nice tutorial on publishing with KompoZer.
