Hand Crafting Web Pages

Not had chance to sort out the remote Blog updating thing. I have been busy working on a site for a Client. This has involved learning FrontPage 2003. This site is not written using FrontPage 2003, it is written using Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.NET All of the layouts and tables are beautifully hand crafted. FrontPage takes all the fun away from writing HTML by hand, but adds so much unneccesary overhead in its HTML. You are definately more productive in FrontPage, but I find it does not give you as much fine control as you get when you hand craft it. All of the formatting and presentation on this site uses CSS, but I also find that this is not that easy on FrontPage and the HTML created by FrontPage is less well structured and does not easily fit into the CSS model.

Talk-PC Site revamp

clock May 11, 2006 10:36 by author Mike
Just re-vamped the website last night, thought the old one had too much whitespace on it. Quite happy with it now, apart from a couple of things. Firstly, the banner at the top and bottom of the screen should be blue all the way across, not just where the writing is. It works ok on my development machine and a test machine, but I noticed at work that parts of the banner are missing.
Secondly, must work on this part, the web-log. Currently typing this into the website source code and that is not really the right way to do it. I should be able to update the log remotely via a semi automatic method. Maybe think about that next week.
Also I want to add a page detailing how this site was set up and what technologies it is using.
