Bad Code

Author Dori Smith did a comparison of editors and how much code they produce. “The goal was to produce a simple Web page containing just a single linked image that rolled over to another image.” The summary of the results:
Macromedia Dreamweaer MX: 49 lines, 1,733 characters
Adobe GoLive 6: 55 lines, 1,453 characters
Microsoft FrontPage 2002: 730 lines, 16,380 characters
Hand-coding: 29 lines, 858 characters

Hey, help George Bush write his next speech.

Make a funny face.
