No. Not. Nada. I've used Homesite 3.01 for some time as an HTML editor. Today I received version 4.01 and loaded it on my machine at work, as well as Dreamweaver 2.0 and Fireworks 2.0 and a little later tonight I'll load them on my machine here at home. I've been giving myself little sales pitches about how Dreamweaver is described by a lot of people as the best of the GUI editors and, of course, how it works so closely with Homesite. They say you can set it up to write clean readable by a Sole Proprietor code and it will create swell effects with a button click. Once I learn how to use it. And Fireworks. They say these things about Fireworks too.
Yet, when I start the program(s), they don't make any sense without
Things seem to be rolling on the finding of a new place and moving next month blues. This weekend I'll start packing the little breakable stuff into boxes. Not very many, just one or two to test the psychological waters. Moving can be, um, stressful. I'll leave the books and the records and all the other heavy stuff to my trusting moving crew, whom I hope to recruit from the building maintenance guys who moved me four years ago. I am counting on them. I don't want to think about them not being available. No. Not. Nada. |

(cough! cough!) reading the manual. It's taken me well over a year to
even scratch the surface of PhotoShop and PhotoShop, at least, has
some obvious buttons. Open a graphics file and you see a picture. Open
an existing file in Dreamweaver and a little twinkling dot
warns whatever you've got on that page it doesn't like it. Which
means the manual. We'll see. I'll write a little comment every now and
then on how it's going. Maybe something will jump right off the page
and you'll know the Prop is making progress. (Yeah, I know, I'm a techie.
I'm supposed to eat this stuff for breakfast, but I don't. Short term
memory loss, maybe. Or smarter. Maybe I'm getting smarter. Smart people
don't need manuals except in times of marital stress and nuclear
conflict.)
