There's a middle ground between hand coding and a WYSIWYG editor: an
HTML editor such as Bluefish. In HTML editors, you can add the code
from a menu, but you're still working with the source code. The result:
you remove the drudgery, but can still immediately see what you are
doing. Most HTML editors also have a link to your default browser so
that you can see the results of your coding.

The morning is here and there's work to be done,
With your pick and your shovel and your old dynamite,
To shift a few tons of this earthly delight."
