TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog) has recently run a couple of articles that are a good ramp-up to our planned discussion this month on web development options for the Mac.
First, inspired by the pending end of MobileMe's web hosting component (which does not appear to have any replacement in iCloud), they focused on web hosting alternatives (mostly free) from hacking DropBox to blog engines like WordPress/Drupal/Tumblr/Posterous and one paid host, Squarespace. The article wraps up by mentioning the template-based web editors RapidWeaver and Sandvox.
Next, they follow up with an expanded list of WYSIWYG web editors, ranging from Panic's Coda and Flux to several new to me that derive from open-source projects (Kompozer, Amaya, Seamonkey, BlueGriffon). A few HTML-oriented tools round out the list, plus the already-featured Hype.
