~*DOMAIN*~

I create my websites in Expressions, Dreamweaver or Notepad.

Yes, I CAN do raw code, however, since I have over half a Gig of graphics to manage, a code editor saves me HUGE amounts of time. 

Sure, I do need to know the code since no editor is perfect.  But HTML Editors are just tools, nothing more! 

We all use graphics programs these days to create our graphics instead of generating a bitmap by writing the hex codes manually because it's more convenient.

I use HTML editors for that same convenience.    :)
~* Domain*~

I have used Kirin as part of my online presence since the early 90's.   After years of bopping around various free webhosts, my sweet husband bought me my own domain name in 2004.  It was an easy choice to make ladykirin official!   I  am relatively happy with my current webhost www.idcsoft.com.  But my rapidly multiplying websites/domain names are leading me to slowly move all my stuff over to www.bluehost.com.
