So, my question of the day (QOD) is:I use Dreamweaver to design web pages. Do any of you use something that you would consider "easy" to use? I am trying to teach someone else how to manage a simple web site.A: Some questions to consider:

• How big is the site 
• Is it hosted on their own webspace
• Can it migrated to a simple CMS (content management system)?
• What does it need to do? What is the audience? 

My approach would be to rethink the whole site workflow. If it needs to be easy to use & simple, Dreamweaver seems like overkill to me.

I thought this article was interesting, given I am on the homepage redesign committee. We, too, are dramatically reducing links; however, design wise, I think it has a much more organic feel and look.

Our lives as users and coders would be much easier if ALL browsers supported web standards.Thus, arose the blue beanie day to show support for web standards.My haiku:New web journeys waitof Blue beanies sing; old mud walks to break internetYou don't even need to own a blue beanie either (tho I have several).

So, some friends & I were having a discussion about ems vs. pts vs. % for web fonts (yeah, we are dorky like that...)Pts are a print unit of measure. Ems are relative to the parent element and scale which is good for mobile and user experience (e.g., I can scale it how I want). Of course, some times you don't want scaleable, but most of the time you would. I personally like % as it forces a certain amount of consistency of display (it is based upon 12pt but is scaleable).

I haven't used Google sites too much since I have so much webspace under my namesake domain, but I found this interesting. You can use google sites APIs to export, delete content (eeks, use with caution, I'd say), and more. Very cool -- although I'd love to be able to (export/import) dump the CONTENT of a google site directly into a spreadsheet or google docs (hint, google!) without having to do any extra work. Now that would be handy and I might actually use google sites more.http://code.google.com/apis/sites/

For technologies in the testing stages, though, low usage or lack of support can lead to an early demise.MIT Libraries has created a place to for these tools after they've come face to face with the grim reaper—its Beta Graveyard."more here:http://is.gd/ePwuhlink directly to archivehttp://libraries.mit.edu/help/betas/graveyard.html
