Hello Geoffrey,

A quick search using Google revealed this:

You can also use KompoZer (in Add/Remove) which will do the coding for you
but that is not nearly as satisfying as learning HTML and CSS.  KompoZer was
formerly known as Nvu.

Bluefish is a very good editor.  I have used Arachnophilia for many years.
Arachnophilia is a Java program (and free).

For CSS editors:

That should keep you going for a while.
