Hey all, I'm new here. What's the best free or inexpensive web authoring software? Can I use OpenOffice to create sites or it this a bad way to go?

Probably bad. Use a plain text editor. Lots of free ones around.

You could learn. We'll help!
 KompZer is often recommended. It's supposed to write valid HTML. But valid isn't all, and from what I've seen I don't think it does much better than the other WYSIWYGs out there, but I could be wrong. http://kompozer.net/ |

I'm gonna give Komposer a try. |

They are the same, or KompoZer builds on Nvu. Not sure how it is, but they are bound to be similar.

I use EditPad free version, it's small and call and fast and well-equipped.
