Playing with Nvu

This is a test of Nvu, which looks like Netscape Composer.

I'm mildly interested in the kind of HTML it produces, and seeing how well it lets you do style editing.

Inserting an Image

This is a pic from my blog:

Okay, well that was painless. Unfortunately, I had to go into the Source view to change all the <br>s to <p>s and </p>s.

Maybe I could've done that with the Paragraph style.

Now For a Style Sheet

Good. Once you're using Paragraph style, it automatically inserts <p>s.

Unfortunately, the CSS editor window is completely incomprehensible.

Now that I've added CSS content from another page of mine... the CSS editor window is still completely incomprehensible.

Conclusions

It looks like Nvu is fine for static pages that someone else has already built. For real web work, I'll stick with vim or bluefish, or better yet an application that handles the content like MovableType.
