Simple Code

Dreamweaver or Coda for web design & programming? I don't do a lot of web design (I'm more of a print designer) but I'm doing more and more of it nowadays. I have always hand coded websites just using a free text editor and previewing it in a browser. I'm no programmer, but can get by in HTML/CSS. Back when I first was forced to take a web design course 10 years ago we had a choice between hand coding and an editor, I took the hand coding class. I've always thought that editors (like Dreamweaver) were bloated and produced messy code.

Now that I'm doing more web design and see that Coda is on sale I'm thinking I might as well pick it up. That is, unless Dreamweaver can do everything that Coda does and allow me to get into the code. I haven't looked at the program in years and don't know if its gotten better to work with. Since I create websites in Photoshop and Illustrator it might make sense to just go with the workflow and finish them in Dreamweaver. I haven't used Dreamweaver since it first came out but I don't think it should be too much trouble to become proficient at given my current skill set.

I am currently using CS3 standard but have a copy of CS4 Design Premium (Dreamweaver + Flash included, free upgrade) ready to install when I get my new computer in a few days. My current computer is too slow to run CS4.

Is Coda worth getting or should I stick with Dreamweaver since I already own it?

Songs with great codas? Any genre. I'm stuck at Layla and Hey Jude.

Twelve-step programs and non-theism

Non-theist twelve-steppers - how do you reconcile the two philosophies? I've been thinking for years about attending some twelve-step meetings - Al-Anon and CoDA specifically - but as an agnostic, I'm skeptical (heh) about the Higher Power part. I know there are many atheists and agnostics who have been able to interpret this aspect of the process so that it jives with their non-belief, and I'm wondering if there are any of you here who could share how you've done it (in any 12-step program, not just the two I've named above.).

(I'm really not interested in hearing about how cultish and creepy you think these groups are. I respect the opinion, but that's not what I'm looking for here.)
