And then I used Claris Home Page to upload all the changed content. And for all those years, I’ve done things pretty much the same way: Write and edit articles using Claris Home Page, use whatever version of Photoshop Lite or Photoshop Elements I had to work with images and save them for use on the Web, and use a text editor (first BBEdit Lite, and later TextWrangler) to do global seach-and-replaces.
