Being a jack of all trades and a master of none I’m always looking for some help here or there when it comes to getting the job done. Now if I was a web developer I could write about web pages from a completely different angle, but I’m not. Recently I found a product called Bluefish that is very cool.

For what I’ve needed to do over the last few years didn’t need much imagination. I’d use the stock templates that came with the product and because of the implementation I didn’t really need to alter the html… and if I did I’m not a web developer so even if I wanted to there was only so much I could do. But of course the more you know the more you want to know so digging into html is something I’ve been toying with.

For the most part I’ve been using gedit or the vi editor but it always seems like I’d get lost matching up a table or column. That’s when I came across Bluefish. I have not had a chance to work with it very much lately but I can say I like what I see so far. The reviews from the site are from a few years back but the Sourceforge Project site is active. Looks like it could be the ticket for now.

I’ll post more after I get a chance to dig in.

Well I’m not sure how deep I’ll get into Bluefish I’m just not at that knowledge level yet. It has been a great asset though. See the Bluefish Features List for more details.
