Web site management with TiBook

[John R. Boettiger]

I haven't received my TiBook yet, but eagerly anticipate the brown van. I'm
not in the "Why swith?" category, having grown up with Macs since the first
squint. But I confess I'm returning after a two-year PC hiatus caused by (1)
very rural location with only a satellite option for fast connection; and
(2) absent HTML, I've found Microsoft's FrontPage (for all its bad press
about mangling code) a terrific WYSIWYG web site building and management
program. (I tried the PC version of Dreamweaver MX and found the learning
curve too steep: that's how primal is my desire not to allow technology to
come between me and the substance of my work as writer and editor of an
online journal (pitch: www.reckonings.net). On issue (1) I found my 28.8
pokey connection boosted roughly 2.8 times (nice symmetry) by using Propel
Accelerator (www.propel.com), but no Mac version. The DirecPC satellite is
too pricey as yet. On issue (2) I'd be grateful for your advice. I suspect:
buckle down and take the time to learn Dreamweaver.
