I want to change/add META tags, titles, etc., on web pages created in ImageReady and need to know how to edit this information on that page. Am working on PC, WinXP, ImageReady 7.0. I see the text when in preview mode but don’t know how to proceed from there!

If you’re talking about the HTML pages, just open them with Notebook or any word processor that can handle ASCII text. Word or Wordpad works if you can make sure that you’re saving as text and not Word’s crippled HTML.

You can also download trial versions of half-a-dozen HTML editors: Front Page, Adobe-Macromedia’s editors, NVu (free) and others.

Please ignore Art’s suggestion about using FrontPage. XD

It likes to spit out crappy, proprietary code. NOT good.

Go with the FREE NVU.

It’s pretty full-featured, and, well, Free.

Phosphor,

That was true in the past (though not to the extent many would have you believe) but is no longer true. If you are using asp or asp.net then yes, it "spits out proprietary code" but under those circumstances, so does PHP. I’m no fan of FrontPage but it’s not as bad as you claim it to be and leaves me to believe that you haven’t used it at all (at least lately) and you let others think for you by parroting their uninformed comments. Now, don’t confuse these comments with support of FrontPage, I do not, nor would I recommend it for professional web development.

By the way, Microsoft has another web development tool in the works; Microsoft Expression: Web Designer < http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression/en/default.mspx>. You can download a beta from this link. The one problem I’ve discovered with it (and the reason I’m using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express to investigate more about asp.net) is the lack of an integrated asp.net editor. You can add the components but you can’t (or I haven;t discovered how to yet) connect them or really do anything beyond layout tasks.

Here’s the thing:

FrontPage CAN be used to output proper pages. The problem is that for someone who is just getting under way with building pages, the necessary tweaks one must apply in order to generate relatively W3C-compliant code is likely to be beyond their abilities, or even more likely, their needs.

Similar to Photoshop’s popularity, it can be completely daunting to many people; and for many people Photoshop Elements will do everything they need, is a bit friendlier, and cheaper.

I recommend NVU because it’s FREE, (it’s nice to be able to explore an app without feature limits or time-outs), it’s reasonably robust and full-featured, it’s pretty easy to understand even for newbies, and it generates decent code.

If someone gets a handle on everything that must be considered when building pages (and that’s a broad list, as you know), and during the course of their further research they decide that FrontPage is exactly what they need…then good. But I see FAR too many sites built by dabblers in FrontPage where stuff just simply DOES NOT WORK, because they don’t know how to properly wrangle its deep and subtle features.

NVU is a better choice to start out with.
