KompoZer - a release of Nvu without the bugs

January 7, 2007

I had been a little frustrated with Nvu of late. Now I don’t do a whole heck of a lot of web design these days. If I am looking at code, it is probably within the context of a content management system. I may hack a sidebar here, or call a function there, but long gone are my days of staring at a blank notepad screen typing out html code. I am glad I have that experience, as it helps me put together quick and dirty pages when all I need to do is embed a quick tutorial video. Heck, Google video did the encoding code for me, so all I did is wrap it in html, title, and body tags, center it up and I was golden.

When I was working on my new entry portal to be used when folks want to find me (yikes!) I naturally turned away from those evil proprietary softwares (which I really just don’t own and looked for an open source solution. Along came, Nvu, a solid WYSIWYG based editor. Except it is a little frustrating due to a couple minor bugs.

Enter KompoZer. They bill themselves as “Nvu’s unofficial bug-fix release”. KompoZer is available for all three platforms. Enjoy (mostly) bug-free web editing!
