While the program might generate standards-compliant code, I highly doubt organise it with good style (lack of better word) -- something that, at present at least, only human sensibility rather than machines can achieve.

You could say all of that about Dreamweaver too. Expression is no different. It's all about the person using it - never rely on the tool to do it "for you".

I tried out Expression back in June - here's a thread with my review.

I saw that you posted a comment on my blog asking about CSS resources - I do plan to get back to you on that!

Thats how all the MS app's end up being. :flame:

A little off topic,

Anyone know where I can find a really good tutorial for the intermediate to advanced programmer on CSS?
