I won't, and it's thrue that I don't know what skills these users have. But if you have to start learning to use some editor, you
can also use something else than FP. An other problem is that FP seems to include html tags that are not always understood by other
browsers besides IE.

But whatever someone wants to use, it there own chooise. It's thrue that in giving this kind of "advise" your own preferences always
play a role in it. My preferences are that I don't like FP, I have worked with it for a very short time. You can make nice pages
with it, but if you try to understand something about the html code produced its a wast of time. I like "clean html" code because I
always want to know why and how something works.

It does, I was just refering to some possiblities.

I don't think you should edit your web pages on the web server it self. Always work offline and than use something like ftp to get
the site online. What you use on your offline system is up to your own choise. But for testing a system configured like the "real"
web site server would come in handy. If that offline system has a KDE/GNOME desktop you can verify your work directly, because you
can run Apache on the same system.
