I've had a fairly good look around (and actually found a few ftp sites with
*nix
software on them that I'm contemplating posting here someday) and found
*almost* all the software I need. Many hours have, and still are, spent
looking
for available *nix software to do what I need to do.

HTML *is* easy to code, the first sites I built were built completely with
note
pad. The usual swing followed to 100% wysiwyg editors which very soon lost
their luster because while they were easy to use they took away too much
control. The swing settled at programs like Arachnophilia & Galt WebMaster
which give me the best of both worlds.

I work on corporate intranets a lot of the time, they don't want to pay for
the time it takes for people to type in every tag by hand.
