TEH notepad

What would be the best way to create websites? I don't like notepad anymore.

Very true. Nvu has loads of retarded bugs. Such as saving xhtml files with uppercase tags. HATE!

Avoid Frontpage...

Don't use flash. At least not for your whole site. Too many flash-'powered' sites are a case of style over substance, and it can't be indexed by search engines properly.

Dreamweaver maybe. It's expensive unless you think you can get it done in the 30 day trial - for that, I advise writing your content FIRST, then DL dreamweaver and handle your design. Or look for a magazine covermount.

Consider a php-based content management system: get installed on your server (try lycos tripod for free php hosting), find a good template, and you're done.

Or, if you don't care about the HTML being horrendous, just use a word processor and save as HTML.
