I'm very impressed. I try to do certain things on my own (without using editors) and I used to do all my
website hostings using no editors such as frontpage or dreamweaver. But I got less and less time and some parts of the editors prove useful especially for repetative tasks. I still code some parts manually as the editors can't do everything and some things they don't do as efficiently as possible (or validly to the standards!).
Just taken a look at the blog. Looks very good - I'm reading some of the articles on it now!
