No soft Ware used
- I pretty much just always use the dos editor, later, when I started useing windows, I started useing notepad, I did use one called CofeeCup, to help me learn more html, but it is easier and faster to write, in a plain text editor. from Garry http://www.garryspages.webs.com

Code by hand
- My MS is in Computer Software and Systems Design. My masters project was to create a web site to connect to a MySQL database to collect information for the CIS department. I was require to code the site by hand. Ever since then, that is the method I prefer. I use HTML Kit to do all my coding.

Modx & Wordpress
- I've tried Joomla, but like the other I find it to restrictive. Depending on the client and requirements I use either Modx or Wordpress. I've also hand-coded my own.

it depends
- So far I've just coded everything myself, but I also found out that if I want to hand over maintenance, I have to write a CMS too. Especially after trying and liking wordpress and galery2, I'm much inclined to start trying to build a site with Drupal.

Drupal or Wordpress
- Wordpress is great for blogs. However, a website with more functionality just begs for Drupal. It can be a little intimidating at first, but once you browse through the menus at little, you really get a sense that you can do anything! I also tried Joomla, but didn't like it.

tried it
- I have tried a couple of CMSs (Joomla, Drupal) and they seem to be a lot of trouble and very restrictive. I took them off and went back to hand coding. If I have to write the content, how is a CMS going to help?

My favorite CMS
- If it's truly personal, I'll use Blogger or some other pre-configured package. For small-group personal, I like Drupal. I like the flexibility and customization.
