The best WYSIWYG on the block so far we think seems to be Kompozer, the next
generation of NVU. It is very tame and has mac and pc versions as well as
source code available.  It is simple but covers most things that mere
mortals need to use.  It has a CSS editor.

It also integrates with portable apps so you can run it from a memory stick.

Hi Joseph,
You may want to try SPAW Editor 
http://www.solmetra.lt/en/disp.php/en_products/en_spaw/en_spaw_about or
http://www.thesitewizard.com/reviews/nvu.shtml for Nvu and KompoZer(I
haven't tried any of them though) and if you know a bit of coding you
can refer to http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/ which is mainly for
ready-made javascript applets and gadgets but has an extensive and
growing CSS library to add to your pages if need be. 
Just make sure you validate your pages before the final publishing with
http://validator.w3.org/. This will ensure that your pages can be parsed
by most browsers.
 
Hope this helps ;)

NVU, an open source web authoring system with WYSIWYG for both Mac and Windows

Hi Joseph,

I probably should have verified that nVu was still in use before I replied.  ;-
)  After a little research I learned that it was no longer supported, but that
KompoZer was built on its foundation. You can get more info at www.kompozer.net. 
I haven't used it, but it looks pretty nice at first glance.

I have my students use SeaMonkey Composer, it's just Mozilla Composer with 
a new name. Google SeaMonkey.

I don't know about free, but I recently conducted an update research of the best
relatively affordable easy-to-use Web authoring software to handout to our
4,400+ instructors and to support, campus-wide, at UIC.

I/we picked SoftChalk's LessonBuilder for its ease-of-use and faculty-focused
teaching and learning technology feature set.  

If you can use Eudora, MS-Word or some such, you can master LessonBuilder in no
time to create simple or engaging class materials, Web accessible class
materials, effortlessly.

We have now licensed LessonBuilder, and needless to say, I strongly recommend
it.

What about NVU? It's built on the Mozilla platform.
