Xara.com's Menu Maker 1.1 to the rescue!

For the longest time/years I have struggled to learn how to create drop-down and/or fly-out DHTML menus for my website(s). The menu's creation eluded me -- and to be honest -- were one of my biggest web development challenges UNTIL last night when a friend recommended Xara Menu Maker 1.1.

Perhaps it was me or the time frame in which I tried before, but for some reason all the other programs seemed very complicated to me. Considering I can read and write HTML code fluently this was a great frustration.

To date... I have not done much with Xara.com's Menu Maker 1.1 as I only have the 15-day trial version, and it does have its limitations, however, things look a whole lot brighter as I was able to create a few simple menus while getting the hang of how the system works. While this might not seem much of a revealation to others, I find it more than a little exciting as I have NEVER been able to get this far with any other program.

Although I am still floundering as I learn and have not contacted Xara.com's tech support yet, I am impressed that they offer so many support/help options to give one a kick-start at getting something accomplished in record time. That fact that their interface is more than a little intuitive does help a great deal!
