How hard can it be?  It's not like it has to be some giant flash-enhanced sideshow marvel....

it's not a giant flash-enhanced side-show model... it just has flash navigation, cause that's the easiest navigatin to do :D

also it's got a lot of other pages that have to be completed, as well as things you don't think about, like CSS, etc.

EDIT:

Want to sign up shrike? :)

Bloody kids today. Flash this, Fusion that, Java applet the other. Everyone's just too damn lazy to do some hand-coding. They don't understand HTML and can't do anything without a GUI so they go running to U8er-WebSite Buildar MegaSuperPRO 12.

HTML is not hard!

Yah, I'm a SLAVE :p  My title says it all...

The only time I use any GUI thingies for coding is Dreamweaver when I need to position a button in the right place on an interface. And even then I just cut out the code I need and scrap the rest.

Ah-yup. It isn't exactly C or anything, and the thing won't goddamn crash if you don't get it exactly right on the first pass, so I've never understood the phobia.

That said, I DO use Dreamweaver half the time, 'cos I'm lazy as all hell.

You type. I click.

On occasion. More often, I lose interest halfway through and go hunt for Xao Xao video clips.:D

Notepad is the way.
But word/wordpad does have a spell checker and has more 'undo' steps you can backtrack with if you screw up.

Quake in notepad..  Oh the ansii horror!

And it's Xiao Xiao...

http://www.xiaoxiaomovie.com/index02.htm for the official webpage.  Though it seems to have been in better repair last I was there.


*hits the brakes, veers this thing back on topic...*
I'd join the SCT, not very good at the game in online play mainly cause I hate rushers.  
I prefer huge battles that make you have to think on how to win instead of just following a set building order so you can have X amount of zelots/zerglings/marines before the 5 minute mark so you can rush to the enemy camp and end the game at the 15 minute mark.
Like swiping an SCV, running him back, making a command center, barracks, then an academy...  Then start cranking out medics to go with my zelots/dark templar...  You can't repair the mechanical units, but you can heal the living ones.


Though I couldn't play right now if I wanted to.  Lost my starcraft cd, though I still have broodwar.  and due to a formatting I lost my old install. :/

Stealth I'm going to look forward to that flash navigation, I'm actually quite distraught by the community's approach to newer technologies especially web development wise. We actually should be making better and simpler sites that people enjoy looking through..tisk..tisk..tisk.

Good Luck Stealth :D

Oh god.. bad song! bad song! *shoots radio*
Guess what was playing on the radio when I read that? Key word being "was".
Yeah, Normally I just use notepad, but recently Ive been doing it in Dreamweaver. Still doing it the "hard" was (easy way for me), I just like being able to immediately see what it looks like without opening IE.. that and for the nice little tag reference it has..

actually an0n i use HTML for all my pages, including Flash.

And Flash is not like Dreamweaver or FP, it's actually got coding in it too, called 'Actionscript'... but all my HTML and CSS, Javascript, etc. I still do in notepad.  I don't have any generator like dreamweaver, Front Page, etc.  and i hope never to have one...

see the 'about' me section on my site :D
