I need frontpage...

[abc]

Certainly, I recommend Dream weaver, I just write in the code portion, I never use the design mode, I'm just extremely forgetful and it helps to have a little menu pop up with options.

Yeah, I actually do prefer Notepad2 for everything I do :P

If that was a response to my posts, please show me a design you've done and I'll tell you whether or not I think it's comparatively complex.

I wrote a course management and forum system for my senior project.  I can't find where I stuck it, but I have it somewhere.  I could send it to you if I find it.

vim's great, but the fact that there's no color is pretty depressing

Mine has color :S

Mine too. Try ":syn on" -- syntax highlighting is great!

I've done similar things.  That doesn't mean that the layout is complex. :P

I agree that it is unnecessary to use an WYSIWYG editor most of the time, but to develop a complex layout, it's totally asinine to tinker with the HTML in notepad until it looks okay.  Personally, I don't use them unless I'm asked to, but there's no way I would have even considered starting a layout as complex as the one I with most recently (for work) without a wysiwyg editor (by the way, have you guys ever heard that pronounced "whissy-wig?"  I'd never heard it said that way and someone said it today and I thought it sounded funny lol).

It was pronounced whissy-wig in my programming class (we dealed with HTML a bit as a side during our Applet's unit).

Yeah, I guess it makes sense.  However, I've never taken a class that deals with web design, so I've invented my own conventions.

I have always heard it as "What you see is what you get." I deal with people that tend not to use acronyms unless it's something redundant, like "GNU," or "WINE."

Wizzy-wig. Guh-nu.  .....Wine.

[iago]

Wizzy-wig. Guh-nu.  .....Wine.

I've heard it as Wuzzy-wig. That might just be a Canadian pronunciation, though.

And yeah, gi-nu, gi-nome, etc. -- initial g sounds rock. :)

[Hitmen]

I hate it when people pronounce acronyms phonetically. It sounds dumb. It's not hard to say G-N-U, or whatever. And the first time I ever heard someone pronounce "SQL" as "Sequel" I was throughly confused. That said, I do usually break my own rule when it comes to GUI.

[iago]

"Sequel" is definitely wrong, I only ever use that one when I noticed glazed-over eyes when I say S-Q-L.

For Gnu, I just like pronouncing leading G's :)

[Hitmen]

According to wikipedia, it's SQL for SQL and mySQL, but it actually is pronounced sequel for microsoft's SQL server.

Microsoft makes their own conventions... even for their acronyms.  lol.

Yeah, my boss always used to say sequel.  I read a book that explicitly stated that it's pronounced S-Q-L, so that's how I always said it.

Also, I did not know that LaTeX was pronounced "Lay-tech..." lmao.

[iago]

That's interesting. I've heard plenty of people say "My Sequel", and I'll continue saying "Microsoft S-Q-L" server, though. To hell with Wikipedia's proper pronunciations!

(I've had to spell "pronunciation" three times today (four times counting that one), and I spelled it the same wrong way all three times (at first). You'd think I'd learn!)

Also, I did not know that LaTeX was pronounced "Lay-tech..." lmao.

Damn you for posting while I'm typing!

But yeah, I just recently (like, last couple weeks) learned to properly pronounce La-tech! :)

[Warrior]

I'm with iago with the S-Q-L pronunciation.
