Yep - I aggree, they do look a hell of a lot better :) I don't expect 
miriacles (Richards not the messaiah...he's a very naughty boy! [sorry -- my 
mind is pulling stupid links in])

*grin* I was about to suggest vi :) Seriously though I've always preferred 
just using a text editor - the site management is handled by a good 
hiearchial layout, and common locations (eg, all images are in "images/", 
regardless of whether its images in the current directory, or a symlink to a 
master images directory).  It's how I've always handled my own personal site, 
from when it was small to big (and now small again).
