About Radio UserLand

Radio is primarily a weblog editor. You can use the FTP capabilities to connect to any web server or you can connect to the Userland platform. It comes with standard blog features like comments, trackback, and hits counter. It also can import RSS or export the entire site as an RSS file.

The Radio Userland service closed on January 31, 2010. Because the software is built to connect to this service, it's not clear whether the software will continue to be developed. It is no longer included in the lists of best editors for this reason.

Target Market(s): Newcomers to Web Design or Children

This is the best web editor there is. For ease-of-use, it can't be beat. The user interface is much like windows, so there is almost no learning curve. You can have your first web site up and running…More
