KompoZer - Another Easy Way to Write

from JoeUser Forums

People often ask how we create articles and guides on some of the various sites like WinCustomize.com, JoeUser.com, etc., so they can also help out by writing something they specialize in. Several of us here use a variety of tools, some more complex than others, but most people who would like to write some articles don't need some of the more high-end tools.

One of the more complex and expensive applications is Expression Web from Microsoft. While it's pretty good at what it does, the casual user will not likely use many of it's features. Live Writer, which we have spoken about before, is one of the tools I highly recommend for writing blog posts and things of that sort.

I was recently referred to another piece of software called KompoZer. It's built off the former NVU web authoring application that is no longer developed. KompoZer is a simple WYSIWYG html editor with an easy to use interface. You can create and layout some really nice articles or posts using images, links, tables, etc.

Two other good points is that it's free, and it's cross platform so if you run a PC or Mac you are all set.

I like Jedit:

http://www.jedit.org/

you add only those features to it you want through its in-program updating process.

for normal word processing though:

http://www.openoffice.org/

both are free. openoffice includes a spreadsheet proggy (like excel) a database proggy (like access) and a powerpoint type thing too (haven't used that one).
