Acquiring the Necessary program for html editing

Since you may not have any experience working with html and building Web pages, it might be a good idea to acquire an html editing program. If you already have a Web design program (ie. Dreamweaver, Homesite etc) then by all means use it to edit the content of your ePortfolio. However, since these programs are usually expensive, you may want to download a free html editor rather than purchasing one of these programs. One easy to use program is Nvu Web Authoring System, which you can download for free and use to edit your ePortfolio content. Feel free to use any html editor that you are comfortable with, but if you would like a detailed set of instructions to follow, we recommend that you complete the Nvu download and follow the corresponding instructions below.
            You can download Nvu from the following address:
