Fair Enough. I used to work on banners in Paintshop and Photoshop and it was
very time-consuming. As soon as I started working on my personal site, I
wanted a quick and effortless machinery to give a diverse collection of
banners. I still use the GIMP to render effects like shadows, transparency,
etc.
As I said, your point is valid.

I was using FrontPage many years ago. I have not touched it for 6 years. I
advocate _no_ automatic Web design, unless you are not fluent with SGML or
not comfortable with the concept (as sometimes is the case with
non-scientists, e.g. Word versus LaTeX).
