    I never use the wysiwyg and always write my articles in the "source". This morning, however, once I reopened my draft, it started in wysiwyg editor. It completely ruined my formatting. I hate that stuff!

    I never use "the source." ;) I write my articles off-line (gasp, I actually use FrontPage!) and then copy the HTML in source mode. Marc

      I write my articles in Notepad and email them in, but I've used the editor for some Tips -- in which cases I edit the HTML.

            Not sure if you would even remember this, but I take credit for first recommending that you use Frontpage, many many moons ago :-)

                      Only source. However, I also just edit locally and replace the source completely on updates. That way the editor cannot mess with my code.

                        The same way that Hipster Sunshines call their deliberate choice to drink nasty beer ironic.

                        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                          You should search for hipster irony[^]. Can cause mental health issues, so be careful.

                            Just to show that I agree. Put same to same. Did not add anything new to the main discussion stream.
