Suggest you invest a little more time to "really get" the basics of HTML and CSS. Believe you'll be far happier in the long run.

Like marto and druthb, I put no stock in WYSIWYGs or blogging tools or the like for writing compact, accurate and maintainable HTML which produces a user-friendly rendered product. I find the code output of all the HTML-generators I've ever looked at to exhibit the flaws our colleagues have already mentioned... and the pages they render to be either extremely limited or broken in at least some browsers.

By way of context for any competence my views may have, I was solely self-and web-taught when I began creating a variety of governmental, personal and commercial websites many years ago. My errors (as observed by viewing their rendering with just a couple browsers) and readily available tools such as w3c's http://validator.w3.org/ validator (w3c's CSS checker ... and proprietary ones like CSE's "HTML Validator" -- + + ), led me to believe the learning curve is NOT ALL THAT STEEP. Sure, even today, there are nooks and crannies I've never explored, but I nonetheless believe that continuing your effort to learn the fundamentals will help you get rich (or rich enough to hire webmasters and programmers) whereas the WYSIWYG's et al will more likely frustrate you.

...but you'd best also have a product or service to sell. :)
