you made blackhorse design in notepad?

She did. Both Sheri and I are notorious hand coders. The last of a dying breed...

Heck yeah. Is there any other way, Diaz? <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> I do ALL the sites I build that way. WYSIWYG sucks and is very creatively limiting, imho. I spend more time re-vamping everyone else's MS Front Page nightmares. ;-) <BR> <BR>I like to liken WYSIWYG to paint-by-numbers. Sure, it's a short cut, but it's limiting and hard to paint outside the lines. And it doesn't give you enough colours to do what you really wanna do with it. Whereas with a set of paints and a blank canvas, you can go nuts! <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> (The artist in me speaking out)

i dont use front page. I use an app called ultradev. Ive never had a problem with colors. 16 million seems suffice. Do you work with php,asp or any other formats? Databasing?

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

I have Ultra Dev, but never use it. Colors? What problems with colors? I was just using the paint by number as an analogy. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> <BR> <BR>I have worked with PHP, yes, and have it installed here on my Apache webserver. I'm also well voiced with CGI/perl. A little ASP, but not a lot, because I loathe Winbloze servers. (I run Linux on this machine) I know enough Javascript to get by, and can do Flash too. But most of my clients' needs are cross-browser, fast loading, clean design, so that's what I spend most of my time doing. Don't get much opportunity to "play" with designs. Except with this one: <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.electricalimagingdynamics.com" TARGET="_top">http://www.electricalimagingdynamics.com</A>

woo brb looking

[Frank Diaz (Realityengine)]

its electric-ent lightning! heh

[Sheri Gordon (Sheri)]

hahaha Kinda sorta not really. The photo is mine....I like to chase storms, and it's one of my collection. <BR> <BR>The lightening began as one of EE's, but then I digitally split it and branched it out. So, dunno...it's kinda inspired by it, but it's not really it anymore. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">

Alas MOST schools now days teach WYSIWYG's <BR>I know Sheri taught ME to hand code.. but when I went to school they was forcing me to learn Dreamweaver... <BR>( I just kept the code window open and switched to the drag and drop when ever the instructor came near) <BR> <BR>I was the ONLY one in the class that had NO problems with my project.. MY code was clean... <BR>theirs had ALL kinds of CRAP in it.. <BR> <BR>Handcoders are being TAUGHT out... <BR>we can't allow this to happen... <BR> <BR>I DO tend to use an "editor" instead of notepad as it turns all the tags pretty colours so it is easier to read and find things... <BR>but thats all.. Conveniance on the eyes. <BR> <BR>My 2 cents worth

I have yet to have problems with ultradev. then again php is totally different from html.
