These are a Few of My Favorite Things
- Favorite Registrar: DirectNIC.com. They have a good price, and they provide lots of information on their site. GoDaddy.com is good too.
- Favorite Host: LaughingSquid.net— their service is *excellent*. If you sign up with them please tell them I referred you and I'll get a credit (thanks).
- Favorite HTML Editor: Notepad. I want the fun of doing it myself. I have just recently started using UltraEdit in order to learn why everyone likes it, but Notepad still does what I need it to do.
- Favorite Image Editor: I still use PaintShopPro. It was free. If I buy one it will be Ulead's or Macromedia's.
- Favorite Image Viewer: Irfanview.
- Favorite FTP Client: Winsocks. It's the only one I've used but it works and it was free. And I like the "uh-oh" sound effect. Why do they call it a "client?"
- Favorite Beginning Tutorial: PageTutor. Joe Barta does an excellent job of explaining how to write HTML for newcomers. It's the best tutorial site I've seen for HTML. For CGI/Perl, a really good beginner tutorial is at cgi101.com.
- Favorite Advanced Tutorial: Anything at Webmonkey.com. (That's not me; we're not affiliated with each other in any way.) The disclaimer having been said, they are an excellent source for learning more than you'll ever want to know about web development.
- Favorite Source of Images: ClipArt.co.uk. Very few ads and the pages load quickly. GoGraph.com and google.com are good too.
- Favorite Source of Sounds: FindSounds.com.
