Dreamweaver Alternatives- Free Editor and XSitePro 2 Discount

I use Nvu regularly, even though I have the Beefed up software. I love using for posting to my WordPress Blog. That way it is easier to build in my graphics and links. The process for doing this is a bit tricky at first but once you get the hang of it its pretty simple.

First I create my post with Nvu. I can customize the fonts, add links and images, etc. Nvu is pretty user friendly, if you have used a Word Processing program, it works very similar to that. Once I have build my page(s), I save the file and view the source code. If you look through this stuff you'll see image references. These will reference to your hard drive but will need to reference your web space where you upload those associated image files (Photobucket is free, if you don't have web space) . I connect to my web space via FileZilla, but it can be done many ways. The images that need to be uploaded will be nicely organized in a folder on your hard drive.It will be associated with the file saved earlier.

My post is almost ready, next is to change the image references in the source code. Back to Nvu and the source Code page. You will need the URL to the images uploaded. Look for the portion of the description that says the file is on the c drive. For example C:/mydocuments/image.jpeg. Replace the bold portion of the description with the to the folder where your images are stored online (it will directly proceed the left of the / at the beginning of the image file name). Copy this little String of text and highlight and replace each reference that points to your hard drive. Once this is done, click back to normal view and the images should load. If not, you simply need to check the source code and make sure you have the image references correct. Once they are loading, save. Under the file menu there is an option to export to text, which can then be pasted into WordPress. I also can save a backup of the post, just in case. Share your tricks for Posting to your WordPress Blog.
