Web Page Editors
We often hear "I'd like to be able to edit my own pages, but what software do I use?" The big question. There are 2 types of editors, text editors and WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) editors. Both will get the job done, and prices range from free to several hundred dollars. So, how DO you choose??
An article by Jennifer Kyrnin, at About.com sheds some light on the pros and cons of both types of editors, and highlights some of the more popular editors. Read Jennifer's article here.
