2013/12/5 Carl Peterson <address@hidden>:There are modern tools for web development? Seriously, though, except when I've been using a package like WordPress, I've pretty much been hand codingwebsites for the last dozen years or so, partly because of "popular HTMLauthoring tools generating oodles of garbage that fortunately nobody perusesclosely."I don't want my initial proposal to get polluted with issues about cuteness of our web page. My stronger idea would be: "Let's give new users something they can double-click and start playing without the need of calling them stupid for having done so"
I think I said about 4,000 messages ago that I would be willing to update the Windows install so that a double-click opens the files in a default editor of the user's choice, with LilyPad being the default. FWIW that's the editor I started with (well, actually the current version is better), and it is quite good enough to get you started. However, I'm too busy with college right now, so if someone else wants to do it, please volunteer.
Too many people on this thread saying what's wrong, too few offering to help.
