OK, using iweb I have a basic website up for Jaga. However, I'm now finding iweb to be a bit constraining and would like a little bit more flexibility in creating and modifying my website. Any suggestions on a alternative, though economical, application for this, something short of Adobe's very capable, but rather pricy, offerings?

I use Dreamweaver, but use the excellent Panic Transmit to FTP. I see Panic has a new offering that looks of interest..

Since you refer to iWeb I assume you want a Mac solution. The best bang for the buck is Pagespinner,
http://www.optima-system.com/pagespinner/. Costs $30 and the author is very responsive. Not a large corporation but a one person operation. The author has been supporting his product for well over 10 years. Part of my job is to create web pages, manage and program interactive web sites for science data, and repair problems with other sites. I have Adobe GoLive and Dreamweaver but spend most of my time using PageSpinner and BBEdit (
http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/, a sophisticated text and web page editor for programming using Perl, PHP, Java, Javascript, etc) to do the heavy lifting. If all you want to do is serve non-interactive pages the only program you should need is PageSpinner. Feel free to contact me off the list for more info.
