Homesite 5

I’ve been a loyal user of Homesite for several years now. I’ve tried just about every HTML editor out there, and I always come back to Homesite. I was anxious to get the upgrade to version 5 when I heard that Macromedia (who merged with Homesite’s previous company, Allaire) was releasing a new version. So yesterday with credit card in hand, I logged onto Macromedia’s Homesite Upgrade Page and downloaded my copy.

After I had a problem with the original install (the validator component would not work) I reinstalled the program, and it worked fine. So far I think the $30 I spent on the upgrade has been worth it. My only concern is, after the validator component would not work I spend twenty minutes clicking around in circles on the Macromedia web site, looking for a way to contact for technical support. There is none! No e-mail address, no phone, not even a feedback form. The only thing I could find was a link to Allaire’s Homesite user forum. I hope that’s not a bad omen for what has been an excellent piece of software.
