>we were banned from using authoring tools - Cool! A lot of those programs add *tons* of unnecessary code, making it take longer to load and stuff. And, I've never really tried it the other way, but it seems a lot harder to maintain code that's "written" by that kind of software. I am in the process of setting up a web site for a small business that I will be starting soon. My sister, who is an artist, is acting as my consultant on making the site look as good as it functions. She thinks I'm nuts for writing my own code, so I'm glad to know others here do the same.
