a quickie pet peeve
If you don't know that all web pages (either ASP or PHP or JSP or HTML) usually ultimately send HTML (a language) to the browser, and you think that corporate web sites should be developed and edited in FrontPage, please tender your resignation now.
I had a Systems Admin tell me that because I generated clean, standards and accessibility-compliant HTML in a text editor, and she needed to edit it in FrontPage, she was having trouble saving the changes. And FrontPage was crashing. All my fault for doing it right.
Well, I had tested those pages in FrontPage before I let them out of my office. I had no trouble editing or saving, and FP didn't crash. SO before you blame me and my mad codification skillz, back the f*ck up and get a real tool.
Sheesh.

Oh that just REALLY gets my goat. And Dreamweaver...? Thankfully NOW I am the only one who is allowed FTP priviledges so all updates are done by ME. And of course I only use EditPad.

Any client using Dreamweaver would be a godsend. But, unfortunately, the entire University has licenses for FrontPage, and they all figure it's a Microsoft product so it's "gotta be easy" -- sorry, it's not. Ten years of using a text editor, I should know what I'm doing. Maybe when they've done the same, they will too.
