Im fed up with typing in HTML code for various items, and i have not got front page i am currently typing on open office in code, has anyone got any suggestions for a way around the code???  

For things like posting html stuff on Craigslist addies, I use bbcode xtra, which gives you a right click menu with basic html tags.

If youre just building up a really basic site, Nvu is free and works OK. Otherwise you want one of the big boys.

Syn Edit perhaps ?
