Help!!!

6 February 2002

I’ve got to learn HTML to do all I want to do here. Actually, I’ve got to learn a lot more than that. Somebody email me with a suggestion for the best editor to start learning to do HTML/XML work. Is there an editor in Radio? I’ve never used the desktop application. What does it do? I need for the text area of the Default Theme in Radio to be narrower. Take a look at some popular sites and the text area seems to be about this wide…[in the original entry there was an attempt to show a width here]

Currently, I think I post about 90-95 characters wide when I use the Default Theme in Radio. Take a look at this site and you’ll see a more readable layout!

I’ve been told Homesite (Allaire), NoteTab (a notepad replacement), CuteHTML (Globalscape) and Notepad. I’m running Windows, so let me know your thoughts.

What this is really about is building a toolkit. Radio is fantastic. I get the impression that the Geek Wizards (a term of admiration) have an additional set of skills and tools that really make their web sites do their tricks. I may be wrong. I don’t foresee being a java, javascript, Python, Perl or C# programmer. I do want to learn web services, XML, HTML and the techniques that make many of these weblogs so amazing. What goes in the toolkit and what goes in the brain? In other words, how do I keep learning?
