Webpage Creator


I'm running FC4 and was wondering if there was a free webpage creation program. Years ago I used Frontpage to organize my various favorite links into a framed web page on my computer with a sidebar of section headings on the left. Click on a heading and it opened up a list of relevant links on the right. Unfortunately, Frontpage used a lot of relational links that don't translate over to a Linux machine (C://.......)

It would be really nice if I could some how copy the pages over to the Linux machine and convert them or at least have to do as little new typing as possible to get things going.

Thanks.

Nvu and Quanta are 2 free alternatives to Frontpage. Nvu more than Quanta, but both are excellent.

There's also Blufish (don't know if it's free), and the Mozilla combined browser/email pkg also includes a web page composer.

I have been messing with Nvu, its nice. I cannot stand what frontpage generates, and i mostly use the types of apps for click and drag tables, nothing more advanced..

edit -- i also use it for frames. i hate frames though

I really like N|VU. I've never used quanta, but N|VU is very similar to frontpage and dreamweaver. The only thing I've noticed so far is that making layers is kind of weird, and the CSS editor is confusing. But other than that, it's very simply to use.

Everyone,

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll try both Nvu and Quanta. Can you tell which repository might have them? I'm not pulling them up with Yum including looking at livna.org.

Thanks again.

NVU is not on repos, quanta is part of the kdewebdevelopment package (might be named slightly different, seach yum for kdeweb)
