I created my first web pages using Visual Page on my PowerMac 7300, and now would like to continue creating web pages on my G4 iBook. I need a simple application for creating web pages, mostly text with images, links, counters, guestbooks, etc.

Any suggestions which application would be a good choice? Thanks.

Freeway Pro will not open up my web pages that I created with Visual Page. My web pages open up just fine when I use Visual Page. Several other applications do open up the web pages. What could be the problem?

Nvu opens up my web pages with no problem, however, I still cannot see the images, only the space where the images are.

I was going to recommend Nvu, but I guess you've tried it. Are you sure the paths are correct? I don't know anything about Visual Page, but if it's from 1998, as a quick search would suggest, it probably made crappy HTML anyway. If you're really interested in web authoring you should either do it over with a decent modern editor, or actually learn XHTML and CSS and do it the right way (by hand).

Freeway is not a HTML editor, it's a HTML generator. It's a slightly different paradigm for making web sites, which might take a bit of getting your head around, but a lot of people seem to find it works for them.

All I can suggest is you go through the supplied tutorial and see if you like how it works, rather than immediately diving in and trying to edit your existing site.
