Web authoring
Site developent
Compuserve hosted my first personal home page. I later updated that using Dreamweaver on a PC. Now want to migrate its development to a Mac. However, I avoided the expense and feature-bloat of a commercial application package. So I use Amaya to edit the HTML code. Though from familiarity with the old HTML 4.01 Transitional version, I retain that! Then I upload files using the reliable FTP client RBrowser.
Publishing
My friends don't bother Web publishing. I resolved FTP upload problems by phoning my ISP. I was advised to switch off the operating system's built-in firewall!
HTML editor
Using Dreamweaver, I had become lazy! I have since been learning Amaya: reading its help documentation, and trying the features. At first I just learned the editor's interface. Then I read up on HTML tags.
HTML tags
I found a reference to a Web tutorial, and first tried `teletype'! I also needed to hand-code the description and keywords Meta tags!
Unfortunately, RBrowser corrupts GIF images! I made favicons (shortcut icons)--but Amaya couldn't display them, and I had a dreadful time getting the link references correct!
I hand-coded a background colour. I also found that a table needed manual adjustment. But instead I wrapped text by aligning an image.
