Hello oE Community.
Don't kill me for having this habit of waffling and over-typing!
Well, openElement is a great web editor. I've had a website for about twenty years - but the last editor was reporting errors - I think purely because it was so old and therefore out of date. I used Expression Web (2004) and before that FrontPage 2000. Expression Web also started to do annoying things with tables which I couldn't understand.
So, I started to look around and nearly bought WYSIWYG Web Editor 15 - despite finding it difficult to use during the trial. oE kept popping up among searches for 'best offline editors'. My style is WYSIWYG - but with access to code. This online only style using templates to create a site - it's just not my scene at all.
Free software is glorious - so thank you for oE. It reminds me of an entirely free 3D prog I use called Blender. The equivalent industry software is er, £1,800 a year. Yes, for one year. I can't afford to contribute to the development of oE, but I have two links on me little amateur site as a token of my appreciation.
I guess I'm very easily pleased, but I just love the 'center on horizontal' feature. Locking stuff bang in the middle? I need that! I also really like the interface - especially with the dark theme.
I found the idea of Code Blocks peculiar to begin with - but thinking about it, it's good to protect dummies like me from myself. If I completely mess up I can merely delete the block and restore things rather than the added code becoming lost among the main code. That's how I see it anyway.
Today I added HTML poster attributes to video players - so visitors are met with a frame from the video rather than an entirely black screen before hitting play.
I should have thought more about smartphones when deciding on the width of the page - but the site 'fits' in smartphone landscape mode - which is how it should be viewed given it's a video site. That said, given the videos are 1080HD - the larger the screen the better.
Don't expect whiz-bang bells and whistles. It's just a practical, simple design. A coder I am not. I'm certainly not here to promote my site - rather, it's all about saying thanks for the prog and maybe I can get answers to any problems I may encounter.
