I like hand coding but I would definitely use a software like Dreamweaver to do
it.

It reduces mistakes and speeds up the process. I can see things color coded
and when I make a mistake, the "red" stares me right in the face, instead of
me having to go through line by line where I went wrong.

I admit I'm a bit spoilt now. I have Dreamweaver closing my tags automatically
for me. Though I know I could probably still create a site with Notepad, I thinkI'll stay clear of it for now.

It's like learning how to drive a manual but buying an automatic car. You know
that if there's an emergency, you can still drive a manual.

Warm regards,
Bina.
