Nvu Tutorials

However, the program has taken on a new life as KompoZer.

KompoZer is basically Nvu with a new name and bug fixes, according to a Nvu forum post. KompoZer was last edited on Aug-30-2007 and is available for download at kompozer.net  While there have been no updates in the past few years, the program is stable for use and I have had good results with this free software.

I stopped using Nvu around 2006 and primarily use HTML-Kit, another free web page editor. HTML-Kit is a powerful tool, something I use regularly when editing my websites, especially when I want to see the source code.  But if you're looking for a free WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get), I recommend KompoZer.  However, if you also enjoy editing the source code and feel comfortable editing code, check out the free HTML-Kit Build 292.

KompoZer is much better than I remember Nvu being.  I haven't seen any serious bugs.  The only issue I found was that I was not allowed to "Undo" changes.  So if I made a mistake, I couldn't undo it.  I had to instead revert back to the original file.  However, once I removed a bunch of junk from the web page I was editing, the code was simpler, and then KompoZer started allowing me to "Undo" my changes if I made mistakes.
