Here’s a list of applications and people I’d like to acknowledge:
WordPress – Sophisticated yet extremely user-friendly blogging software. If you can email, you can blog with WordPress. Besides being free, there are hundreds of plugins that increase the power and usefulness of WordPress.
Firefox – The best browser to surf. Speeds are better than IE. Built-in spellchecker is a must for someone like me.
For web designing I use the following programs:
Adobe Dreamweaver – I do most my web editing in DW. CSS (cascade style sheet) is done in all text. It would be nice to do it on a graphical editor. I like DW but I’m keeping my options open for something better.
Adobe Photoshop – I can’t live without “photochop”. No other graphic editor comes close. I find Alien Skin plugins to be helpful.
FileZilla – This little progy uploads and downloads files to the server. I like this program over other FTPs because it remembers all my sessions, so I can quickly edit different files and upload to different servers without looking up IP, user IDs, and passwords.
TextEdit – Yes, it’s a silly little text editor, but it works great for quick .html editing.
Brian Gardner – A real life personal friend and bro. Brian is the creator of StudioPress, which Brian has graciously allowed me to use for my web projects. We have a relationship that inspires each other but mostly he inspires me.
