What was easy isn't so much so.

It seems as though there used to be some good freeware tools to let you create and publish web sites. As a part of the preparation for our Queen Lake Association annual meeting, I need to update our web site with information about the meeting agenda and a few other reference documents. I know how to edit HTML documents and publish with FTP commands, but it doesn't seem much easier than it was 15 years ago when I first created web sites.
I've used NVU, Amaya, and a few other tools (Emacs, the wrench for every nut), but none seem to have a good integrated editor and publishing solution. None has been satisfying. There are commercial tools that start at $100 and go up as fast as you can keep adding zeroes. It's doubly-discouraging when you find a long list of programs and then see that they're showcasing their 1998 favorites.
So, while I continue the search, I'll use Emacs and rsync to get today's work done.
