Actually, most linux software available is for people who already know what
they are doing. Perhaps this is not 'fair' to newbies (clueless or otherwise),
but that's the way it is.

FWIW, it's not really possible to get a 'WYSIWYG generated' webpage to work;
html doesn't work that way (and that's why there's such a proliferation of
flash and java/javascript out there). The best a WYSIWYG generator can do is
'what you see is something like what you get, so long as you use this browser
with these settings on this desktop of this size to browse the page'. For the
effort, hand coding html is just as good, and considerably cheaper.
