i designed my site earlier but then found that updating it was very troublesome so, i thougt that it will be better to make the website as a blog and for that i am using BLOGGER.COM, this makes my life easy when it comes to updating the website and i am using a template provided by blogger only which is made by PROs. i have selected the second opiton which is Let a site builder do them? e.g. PHP Nuke, e107 as i am not designing sites at this time!

Ya, me and mayank do the same basic thing, except i despise PHP-Nuke, so I designed my main webpage personally. My Blog is posted by blogger.com, however It's posted on trap17's servers  Mr. Panda

I design my site. I used to use an editor, but the code generated did not validate. Moreover, the editor seems to insert useless code everywhere. If I code my own site, I know exactly what's going in, and I can make it validate. Also, many editors out there use tables of layout. That's a no-no in my book.

I made it myself this time around. Usually, I used Dreamweaver because it would automatically set the doctype and stuff, but I don't have it on this computer. It's probably for the better - I had to relearn a lot of HTML and CSS by doing it myself

I always try and make all pages by typing them manually, so I know how they work and my memory is kept refreshed. If you use PHP Nuke and install an add-on or something and it doesn't work you probably won't have a clue what the error means, but if you have built your own site you can usually work out whats going wrong. I used to use FrontPage to create HTML, and designed all CSS myself, but the code didn't validate, was confusing and often didn't work in anything that wasn't IE based. Now I'm using PHP as well and it just gets too confusing using lots of software, so I try and write everything myself.

I design my own sites; I find it more fun that way and that way I have full control over what happens with my site. I always like experimenting with new things and always have new ideas that I like trying out.

Well I forgot what I voted in the poll but the majority of the time I use a site builder, currently I am favoring using PHPbb because I happen to like forums better than normal sites. I have designed my own graphics before but I have never learned html. So for me it is more site builders than my own stuff.

Using cms is a wise move atleast for me because it took so much time to code a database driven site. Thanks to all those developers. However, templates are designed by me to suit my own taste and also to have my own flavor in it. I really dislike to have the default template or someone elses' template with footer signed by them with copyright.

I do both design my sites and also use sitebuilder softwares. But most commonly I select any predesigned template and start working on it by adding and changing it to meet my needs.

I design my own web sites. In fact I have designed some for others. Working on a church site now. I have a military site on GeoCities dedicated to my father, a web set graphics site and my own personal site. All of which I have kept as projects in progress. I use Cute html and CSE HTML Validator. For quick edits I use Notepad. I will admit to getting ideas from other sites. I do, however, modify them with my own adaptations. If you are giving designing your own site a try, visit my web set site and grab a template, it's free. My Web Design Page

Well ive never used any thing like php nuke or mambo or anything like that. I do however use dreamweaver alot does that count as coding it you self or no? I like dream weaver cause it cuts down the time so much like when making big tables and what not but I also use the code part of dream weaver alot as well.

the other day, I looked at a site and the apostrophy ( ' ) was also shown as a question mark.
That is a very common character usually, I would think. I thought it had something to do with the
character encoding settings, and let me also mention I use Mozilla Firefox as my brows....
