Re: [LM_NET] HIT: Web page design software and rant

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

News to me
  Joomala is supposedly a free open source program....
  FrontPage and Dreamweaver is what most people I know are using.
   
  If I make my users change to another program -- then I provide the training and 
the support for the end user.
  Nothing worse than frustrating folks -- but I am a librarian first -- then a tech 
person

  I was interested in these responses. My current web site was done in Frontpage. I 
thought it was easy to use and update and could pretty much teach myself. At the 
beginning of this year we were told that we were using something called Joomala and 
that if we had pages they had to be changed to this program.Our tech guy swears 
this is really easy but I can't get my mind around it . So far I have transfered 
two or three pages and they are completely messed up- printing over the edge of the 
template, one page on top of another. He says once I learn it I'll love it! Yah, 
right cause I don't think I'm ever going to learn it and I don't have an unlimited 
amount of time to reinvent something that was working fine, thank you. I have made 
sketches of what should go where and when he can sit beside me I'm ok but as soon 
as he's gone, I'm at sea again. I can't update my current page because I no longer 
have access to FrontPage. Our web design class is being told that they will not be
able to use Frontpage either next year. The tech guy says Frontpage is old and 
outdated and no one in the real world uses it anymore. What say you???
