Software Reviews: ================= Saturday 12th September 1998 - Allaire Homesite 3.0.1 http://www.irt.org/software/homesite/ Allaire Homesite 3.0.1 - reviewed by Rafael Coletti - One of the hardest things to find is a comfortable and powerful HTML editor which simplifies your work in creating web sites. However Homesite 3.0.1 is not a tool for newbies in HTML - if you are just starting you should instead try an easy to use (WYSIWYG) HTML editor such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage. This is because in order to create pages with Homesite, you'll need a good knowledge of HTML tags and their parameters.
