Just started using Microsoft's Visual Web Developer. Have mainly hand coded in the past, but that takes too long and is severely lacking (for me) in several areas.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

I tried using Dreamweaver a couple of years ago, but I just didn't like it for some reason. Frontpage added too much junk to the code, so I didn't use that for too long.
I like using Notepad and coding the HTML, and now that I'm learing CSS, it's even more fun. Right now, my page is a half-hearted mix of HTML tables and CSS stuff.

I had been useing Frontpage till this year... Buddy (my son and chase partner) is currently updating our site to PHP... We have an admin log-in area that we are going to use for chase accounts.. all we have to do is log in, put the date, chase info and any pics (file names) and it will automatically make a new page (for that date) for the chase and put everything where it goes, even all the new links on the other pages... pretty cool...

That is exactly how I am doing it. I just finished up my chase log submission script a couple of weeks ago... I enter things like the date, chase location, log, etc, and it will create all necessary folders and files/pages. This is considerably easier than copy/pasting old logs then having to rename and upload/FTP them to a new folder. Granted, that wasn't rocket science, but this is easier. I'm currently using breezebrowser pro to make my image pages, but I'd really like to move into a php/msql-based image gallery. That way I don't need to upload the pages made in breezebrowser... Or, as a compromise, it'd be nice if breezebrowser had an auto-upload / FTP engine built into it.

If you're doing web-based content management, make sure that you back up your work frequently. Keep a copy of your chase logs in a Word file somewhere on your computer before posting them. If there is ever a server crash or if you accidentally overwrite/delete photos or text, it's gone for good.
With client-based editing you have two copies of your site, one on the server and another on your computer. Web-based solutions usually remove the client-side backup element.

Good old HTML
I'm still using plain HTML, though I've borrowed occasional scripts and includes for a few gadgets on the site. An include is great for menus, since you change the file once and it's altered throughout the site. FrontPage code looks like a horrible mess when you're an HTML minimalist. I also like plain HTML and small photos because they load fast. I know more and more people have broadband, but I like to be kind to those on dial-up.
