As I said on the opening page, all of my bad habits are my own. In that regard do not take my code as any kind of example of good form. As I joke at the bottom of my "second" home page "real men don't use HTML editors." A more revealing statement of that is that I found all the editors I sampled harder to use than learning the language. Thus, yes, I do use QEDIT (a DOS editor similar to the old WordStar) for page creation.
      If you are interested in picking up my bad habits and do not like the editors (much less their price) do what I did first. Find, download, printout and READ and STUDY the HTML specifications. Save to your own disk the source code of every page you do not know how to duplicate and study it.
      What you see in my code is exactly the bad habits of someone who does enter every HTML tag by hand. In most cases I leave out a <TITLE>, I rarely end with </BODY>, I get things looking the way I want and then don't get around to cleaning it up. What I leave out is what is not essential for that PARTICULAR page. What I leave out has nothing to do with any other page.
      Do you want to learn my bad examples? Although my son and I think a lot a like we came to agree very quickly on my approach. His boss insisted he put up a page to help advertise the new IPS. He said he did not have time to learn a new language and I offered to help and that he could learn the language from reading the source I sent him.
      The next day, after looking at the first cut, he too is wondering why people fool with HTML editors. If you have never learned a computer language, this is perhaps the easiest to learn. But, start from the specifications, then go to the working examples that you like. Otherwise, I suggest you master one of the HTML editors. And you have my heartfelt sympathy for being condemned to that fate.
      So what do I have against HTML editors? You have dozens of pull down options. Just how do you know what they do or mean unless you are familiar with the language first?
      You have an idea in mind but how do you know it can be done? How do you make it happen with the editors? They will not tell you.
      I can't find the least reason to recommend any editor until after you know what HTML can do in the first place. And after you know that I can not imagine what you would need an editor for. But, to each his own. This is my never humble opinion.
