The problem I have with using just a straight up text editor, is I'm sort of a visual person. When I build a site I don't actually follow the process like most designers do, which is build layout in Photoshop then convert it to HTML/CSS.
I tend to have an idea in my head with what I'm looking to do and I just start building the page directly in Dreamweaver. I typically do my graphics as I need them to fit what I've built.
I used to have a small theme site that was doing ok. I'd like to start doing that again, but I know with the competition out there today, that I need to do much better than I do. I just find it very hard to stay focused on learning to code stuff.
It's like I have ADHD# when it comes to trying to learn coding.
I've tried several of the various video sites but I always find my self day dreaming after listening to them jabber about the shit for a few mins.
