Editor’s note: We’ve asked Andrea Dudrow to expand her column to address the impact the Internet has on our lives. As she lives in San Francisco, the epicenter of the earthshaking movement that is the World Wide Web, she’ll also give us reports on the trends and styles of the creative people who work in […]

GoLive 5.0 is not a revolutionary new Web management tool and visual Web page editor. It’s more significant than that: It’s the latest edition of a mature, rich, and deep software package with the kinks worked out.
