Is there any web sites out there that can help me out with the program Screem?

I want to create my own web site but I got's no idea how to use Screem.

Do you, um, know HTML? Just search google for "HTML tutorials."

http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/ is one.

What screem does is basiclly puts the mark up for you (instead of typing in
Code: [Select]
you just click the "link" button).

Yes, it's very easy. You could learn it in two or three hours, in fact. Eventually you'll just write your websites with Vim and make graphics with The Gimp.

Or you could settle for that joke-of-an-html-wysiwyg-editor Mozilla provides you with if you plan on making one of those "l33t DBZ sites" on geocities.

Writing with Vim and Gimp sounds cool.

This Linux stuff is awsome.

I've looked a little bit, but I still don't know what program to use for creating webpages, in the WYSIWYG style.

In SuSe that is...  :(
*meow!* I didn't say Linux was easier, I said it was better, Dumbass!

ok, get mozilla, install it, then open a 'Run...' box and type 'mozilla' inside it, and enter (without the quotes) as you will probably gather, mozilla is now running.

just go to View > Composer, or i think you can just type Alt-4 it's something like that anyway. You want to be using mozilla composer anyway.

Another free wysiwyg editor is included in OpenOffice.org you can download it from www.openoffice.org strangely enough, and it saves as html.

neither program is perfect, so visit this page as soon as possible and learn all the stuff in Dave Raggett's tutorials. Once you have done this, you can then create a document in mozilla or openoffice, then close all that stuff, reopen the html document in emacs and use your newly gained knowledge to remove all the awful code that will be littered through yer pages.

good luck! enjoy!   :D

Bluefish might be what you want. Its not a staight WYSIWIG though.

i would recommend against using bluefish or quanta.

until you have used the wysiwygs, openoffice and mozilla that is, you will not know enough about how to write html for bluefish or quanta to be of any use. and once you do know how to write html, you will probably prefer a straight editor like emacs for example.

I used both bluefish and quanta and had problems with it 'optimising my code' or in one case erasing half a page completely. (it was the 'genesis' page at polytheism.cjb.net) You never feel like you can write it as good again, i think, after an unwanted data loss... so steer clear is what i say.

I agree but I though it might be good for his situation. I don't like WYSIWIG's much.
He could actually give Coffecups thingy a try...

I mean "vim". This debate is much like the religeous or political debates. People who prefer "emacs" tend mostly to be liberals. Now "pico" would probably be the green party.
