perhaps, I simply don't have the *time* to produce anything.

Whoops tee do: You've got it down to 276KB and all it brings to mind is
one word:

1988 or so...)

cliche words? Perhaps 'real' was the word you were looking for. But I
could be wrong, as, as you may say, I apparently don't have a 'cl00'.

Heh. I can see the pissing contest now: "My shitty looking page renders
faster than YOUR shitty looking page cause mine is OPTIMIZED!".

A few people following the thread see my point. I respect hand coding,
and I will agree that WYSIWYG editors do not do any sort of fancy pants
things without the use of manually written/inserted code (aside from
simplistic javascript and some PHP like includes, etc). But they do
allow you to see design instantly, and bring to mind exactly what's in
your head.

Unfortunately, even if there was a program that could take , directly,
your thoughts and turn them into a designed page - it'd still look like
shit, because, quite frankly, you have 0 (zero) sense of design aesthetic.

peace,
bny
