I've just taken over a website in the local community and so although I haven't had to set anything up from scratch I'm still finding coffeecup to be just brilliant. I've already made changes to the website and only started yesterday
So - what are the advantages if I decide to get the paid version of coffeecup? Are there any other features or is it just a constant up to date resource
And secondly - can someone PLEASE recommend some reading material for me and html5? There must be a list of basic <> codes somewhere, at the moment I'm copying them from the existing website script which works, but I don't feel I'm learning anything
Tomorrow I have to insert a photograph... It's easy, right! Right???
Many thanks for any help

Hiya Jam,

I'm going to assuem you're talking about the HTML Editor here so the main things are a couple features that help in the paid version. The CSS Menu maker is one of them as well as the color schemer setup too. Right now the free version does not have upload FTP capabilities built into it, but the Paid one gives you the ability to not only setup your Projects, but all the FTP setups too so you don't have to do that in a different program, you'll have it all at your fingertips then in one place.

Here's a link to a place to get the most up to date information on coding for websites. Hope this helps too.

I would suggest both the HTML and the CSS as well as HTML5 and CSS3 after you've gone through the rest.

A very good book for learning CSS/CSS3 (combined together so you can learn it as a full system rather than 2 separate ones) is:

CSS3: The Missing Manual

Which you can find pretty much all over the place from book stores to websites. It's done by O'Reilly which you can purchase direct from them at http://oreilly.com as well as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, etc.

Good luck and happy learning!

Thanks Jo Ann

Yes HTML editor and using a mac not windows. FTP hasn't posed a problem (as yet) but as I say I'm only 24hrs in...

Thanks for the coding link, very helpful

You can also download the FULL version of the HTML Editor for a 7 day trial. If you're really serious about jumping right in then I'd go ahead and download and work with it. All features should work, just for 7 days. It will give you a good idea of what you are missing.

CoffeeCup also has a good beginners book if you are starting from scratch...
Just the basics, nothing too fancy

If you are on a Mac, the name of the programme is 'Web Editor'. I think it is undergoing some fixes and upgrades, but I don't know when the new version will be out.
