Hi lostinspace and thanks again for your reply.
I hate clicking the button that says "no this post didn't answer the
question" because you are being so helpful. In fact you're probably
answering some of the questions I 'should' have asked. lol But you
seriously are helping. :-)
I'll check out that software because I think I heard of it a long time ago
and never tried it. I used to write webpages in pure html because it gave me
good control over the look of my webpages and keep the layout how I wanted
it. But since I learnt all that jazz I got a neurological problem and slight
double vision so editing source code is beyond me these days. I'm pretty
much learning stuff from scratch again. lol
It'd probably help if I said what I was trying to do wouldn't it?
I make and sell cross stitch charts for sale over the web. For this I need
a webpage - literally a one page website is enough. On the page would be
some text and a few pictures showing the finished charts. And of course
buyitnow buttons for paypal (don't need a shopping cart, it's too complicated
for my customers apparently).
So - I know I have to fiddle around with html a little with my encoded
PayNow buttons. These needs to be pasted as a button/image into my webpage
so my customer can pay for their chart. Those are all the images I need.
Photos of the charts and BuyNow buttons with their own html for payment.
The reason I want to make my webpage in a WYSIWYG editor is because my eyes
go crosseyed when dealing with pure html and I want the simple webpage to
look nice. Then I need to upload the site to a free server (until I can
afford to buy some webspace).
But because of bandwidth limitations on free (and paid) webspace I need to
hotlink my images on my website to my imagehost which has unlimited
bandwidth. If I don't do this I will lose customers because my bandwidth
will run out and my site shut down too quickly every month.
Thanks again and I hope to hear from you soon. Binky :-)
