You can set many important Arachnophilia properties using Tools ... Options. All the settings you make are saved between uses.

You can easily access many commands by pressing the right mouse button, even when there is no open document.

See more on this subject in the Help screens.
If you run with scissors, you might get hurt. Even walking with scissors isn't such a hot idea. On the other hand, you can't avoid all risks, and scissors are rather low on the spectrum of risks -- probably below boredom, insurance salesmen and meteorites.
The Arachnophilia Site Analyzer will examine your site in depth, finding links that go nowhere and resources that are not used. Choose Tools ... Analyze Site.
Arachnophilia color-codes your HTML document's tags as you work, so they are easy to identify. If you make a trivial HTML error, it will show up in a special color so you can easily find and correct it. If this feature runs too slowly on your computer, you may disable it using Tools ... Options.
Arachnophilia's Power Undo/Redo feature automatically saves up to 32 copies of your work, so you can recover from mistakes and experiments. You can undo your most recent 32 actions, then you can redo those 32 actions if you want. On the other hand, if you work with multiple large documents, or if your computer has a small amount of memory or a small hard drive, you can turn off this feature using Tools .. Options.
When you press the Preview toolbar button, Arachnophilia refreshes your browser's display without having to reload it, thus saving time. This feature is compatible with most browsers. If your browser doesn't seem to refresh, just touch the browser title bar with the mouse cursor.
Arachnophilia can load any number of documents at once, and then it can search and replace the text within them globally. Just press the Find and Replace toolbar buttons to review these features.
Arachnophilia has three right-click "context" menus -- which one you see depends on where you position the mouse cursor. If you click the toolbar area, you will see a menu that allows you to launch toolbars. If you click the empty main program window, you can create or open many document types. And finally, if you right-click an open document, you see a list of useful document-related commands.
Arachnophilia contains a step-by-step tutorial on the creation of HTML pages. Choose Help ... Creating your First HTML Page.
You can move the toolbars where you like. Just grab a corner of the toolbar with the mouse cursor and drag it where you want it to be -- to the bottom of the window, to a side, even floating in space if you prefer. Arachnophilia will remember where you put them for your next session.
