looks nice.

Nvu (pronounced N-view)
Finally! A complete Web Authoring System for Linux desktop users as well as Microsoft Windows and Macintosh users to rival programs like FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Nvu (which stands for "new view") makes managing a web site a snap. Now anyone can create web pages and manage a website with no technical expertise or knowledge of HTML.

It is nice, I've got Portable Nvu [http://portableapps.com/apps/development/web_editors/portable_nvu] on my USB stick so I can use it at work!

I thought Nvu saved things in the Registry.  As you have a portable version, and it's cross-platform, that must not be true?

I wonder if it works now. Last time I tried it, you could'nt switch back from the preview tab. In fact you couldn't switch back to anything, nor click any button. And that was the 1.0 release, ready for production. It put me off a bit.

Nowadays I leave the web design to people who know more about it than me. Then I take their mess results and make it standards compliant by hand. After that I feed it to my cms...

I think nvu is a cool thing though, because it works on linux. People should try and see if this isn't enough for what they need to do. No need to buy expensive software :-)

The people over at http://portableapps.com/ have done a pretty nice job with their offerings. I had an issue with ThunderBird still writing to the Registry, but not with Nvu.

I got to say that PortableApps is a boon when you have to deal with StormTrooper IT people (God love them!)

Regs,
Perry
