Umm. Isn't bluefish a text editor? And Quanta? Nvu isn't and I've
not heard of Screem. I don't know why the OP would lump text and
graphical editors together. Maybe bluefish and Quanta have a graphical
mode I don't know about? It's been quite a while since I've looked at
either. Does Nvu have a text mode?
As far as downloading a "good" template. How do you expect anyone to
know a "good" template without knowing HTML and CSS? I don't use, and
don't recommend other people's templates. If you're not going to learn
the language you are dealing with, you might as well just use DW, MS
Word or any of the other graphical editors that spew forth pure crap.

You've got to become good with HTML and CSS before that. Until you are
competant, you should depend on sftp or ftp so you are working off-line
and can make a backup before uploading.
I work directly to/from the server and have pulled some big goofs. I'm
also the sys admin so could pull stuff out of backups. Are you the sys
admin?

Again, without knowing the languages involved, how would someone know
the "best"? Not to mention that drop-downs are not necessarily the
best type of menuing system to use.

That's easy. Learn HTML and CSS to write your pages yourself; don't
bother learning javascript and you won't have to worry about it. None
of your pages will have any.
