Odd Question

[cat_77]

Anyone happen to know where you can download a copy of the old Netscape Composer 4.79? Had originally made web pages way back when with it and wanted to try to get a copy for my mini-laptop. With Netscape pretty much defunct, this is proving difficult.

If not this specific program, does anyone know of a different WYSIWYG program that does not add a ton and a half of extra coding that would need to be cleaned up manually later, pretty much making the whole ease of use thing pointless? I manually code my LJ and DW posts, but have never quite gotten the hang of uploading a text file of code to make it turn into the pretty page.

Thanks muchly!

I've always been a code-from-scratch gal, but you may want to look into Amaya (http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/BinDist.html). It's made by the W3C, the folks who write the web standards, which might mean virtually no junk code...

I can do the basic stuff, but always forget the table coding (which is the basis for my site *head desk*), and can pretty much never remember the hex coding for the different colors. Mix that for a panache for forgetting what my usual font size is for the headers and just guessing, and you have one messed up page.

Well, that, and the fact I have seriously yet to get a coded text file to show up as a pretty page after uploading. It's been a while since I tried, but the stupid thing showed up as a white page with code on it instead. :)

Yes, I need to get out of the dark ages. Maybe I can experiment before my current laptop dies completely...

Might I suggest taking a peek at this (http://www.freewebs.com/cleothemuse/)? It isn't complete, but it might get you started.
