If you haven't taken time to play with the new Expression line of tools provided by Microsoft, you should give them a try. I've been a pretty big fan of Macromedia's Dreamweaver for a few years - even though it has increasingly become more and more of a resource hog. But Microsoft's Expression Web is actually a full-on, viable, contender - which is HUGE, considering that it's a 1.0 release. Sure, it's got a couple of warts (all V1 software does), but I hands-down prefer it over Dreamweaver. Better yet, if you're an ASP.NET wonk, grab a trial of Expression Web today - as it will be the designer for Visual Studio Orcas. (Well, it would probably be more accurate to say that "Orcas" and Expression Web will be sharing a designer based on the same underlying core - I'm sure "Orcas" will heap on the additions/improvements.)

At any rate, Expression Web provides some really killer CSS functionality, and gives you a boat-load of options for managing styles, formatting, and so on. It REALLY does make the notion of using a designer/tool completely feasible when it comes to WYSWYG CSS - which is a major feat. They've also added some cool innovations in terms of dragging/resizing padding and margins, and so on.

How do I know all this? Well, I spent about a month actively working with the tool to create a Starter Kit for Expression Web. You can check it out on the Expression site at Microsoft.com - it's the Partner Portal Starter Kit. The idea for this starter kit was to take a 'CSS Zen Garden' approach to styling one ASP.NET page in a variety of different ways - using ONLY CSS.

NOTE: If you want to download the starter kit, make sure that you grab the password for the zip files on the download page.
