[Hidden-tech] Requesting advice re: Dreamweaver alternative

[Rita Muncie]

There are free plugins for many browsers that allow you to modify pages without knowing any code. (Firebug for FIrefox is one.) That would give you a more visual method to edit than a free text editor.
I know you said you are not ready but after looking at your site Wordpress would also get my vote; there are many free templates which would allow you to modify them to suit your needs.

Adobe confirmed that this is not an option in Contribute as the snippet gets embedded with additional tags and can't simply be deleted out.  That would require Dreamweaver.  My webmaster told me to pick up an old version of Dreamweaver (CS4, CS5 or CS5.5) for a low price so I would be able to remove that section of code when necessary (rather than calling him and asking him to do it, dear soul).
