WYSIWYG development is a cool tool.... Learning to actually sit down and edit your code is essential to understanding and debugging problems that may arise in the future.
I created a whole series of pages using Dreamweaver when I first started out but found that different browsers, and different settings or whatnot displayed things alot differently than what I wanted, plus, sometimes I would get carried away in Jazz and tricks, the pages looked cool I thought, but sucked for the user...
I now just code using Notepad or Wordpad, keep it simple and post away. Hardcoding isn't difficult, it just takes the time to understand what your looking at... sorta like learning a more developed language... Like C.
