NVU - Free Web Authoring System!

By
Real Estate Agent with Long & Foster 0225078705

Since I do all my own web publishing for my Atlanta real estate sites, I am constantly looking at free easy programs that make my life more simple, and yet will have an impact on the web.  I found a free little HTML Web Authoring download that is perfect for creating my Active Rain posts off line, and allow me to take advantage of the html posting feature found here, and yes, I can even highlight in different colors!  How is that for Emphasis?  It is nothing dramatic, but I think it can make a big difference to the viewers, and even for SEO with a great anchor text feature!

You can download NVU here!

Jim,

I downloaded NVU a couple of days ago and wrote my first post with it yesterday. Haven't tried the highlighting yet.

Richard Iarossi, Crofton MD Real Estate, Annapolis MD Real Estate (Long and Foster® Real Estate, Inc.)  It is kind of fun to be able to catch someones eye when reading a Blog.    I think it may be easier to emphasize the hi-points.

Bill, your cracking me up...

Jim, I used NVU when I had a PC. I haven't tried it on the Mac, but need to go take a look. It was fun and easy, the photos was a challenge. Usually I'm in a hurray and can't take the time to make mine so pretty.

I was just wondering how some of these people get all of these different fonts.  I've written in word and when I posted at AR in went back to the basic.  Looking forward to checking this out.

Hello Jim, thanks for the tip on NVU.  I had been very frustrated by not being able to save a draft blog post using the AR Interface (I've read there is rarely any great writing -- mostly it is great Editing and re-writing! - and I'm working on the Editing part!) and thus, was using MS FrontPage.  Now I find that FrontPage uses some junk in the html it creates that makes the RSS readers choke and fail to feed -- Argh!  Thanks!  John

I have Front Page also, and it does not work well here.  You are right.   There is too much junk code.

Jim - I'll have to check this out.  I found something else called Kompozer that works pretty well also.

Troy Erickson - Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Phoenix, AZ and East Valley Team (Terra Solis Realty, LLC)  If I remember it right...'Kompozer' is the older unsupported version of NVU.  I considered it also, until I found this was the newer of the two.
