I am on AOL and for the past few years have been using AOLPress. which was an AOL recommended webpage software, to maintain a website of pics of the Shiba Inu dog breed (http://members.aol.com/shibapix) for an internet List.

Recently I have been unable to connect to AOL servers when I try to save changes and AOL's tech support, while acknowledging that there may be server problems, has also said that I should consider using a new webpage software as AOLPress was discontinued a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, tech support is not allowed to make recommendations for a simple alternative. I am mildly techy but not hugely so.

What would anyone recommend please?

:D

Cannot help you there, bs, I use AceFTP which is freeware and fine, but I started using my AOL web space yesterday and found I could FTP into someone else's (football) site!

BOAC thanks for your reply!

I am at work now and the Creative Media department are recommending software called Macromedia Dreamworker .. looks impressive but probably far too advanced for me as well as being expensive .. :D

I am going to keep sounding folks out in the hope that someone can advise me on what should work!

Several freeware/magazine CD programmes around, BS that will cost you ZERO!

AceFTP for the FTP bit (easy to set-up) and I use Notepad mostly for straight-forward pages but Dreamweaver is available free on CD and not too difficult. A very nice-looking and straightforward HTML programme (again free!) is Max's HTML Beauty.

If you need urls etc let me know.

BOAC Dreamweaver is free? is that for a trial period? how do I get hold of it? I had a look at one of the IT computers at work that uses it and it looks brilliant!

DW version 1.2 was issued free on '.net' Jan 2000 CDROM, No 66A.
I'm pretty sure later versions of it will be around now on cover discs.
