Below you will find a list of some of my favorite software programs and also credit to several of my on line friends that have helped me develop my web site.

Although, I code most of my pages by hand, I do use a editor for some things and that is Homesite 4.0, I fell in love with it when it was a very inexpensive program and was in version 2.5.

I tried all the link checkers out there and finally found one that is not only free but works. If you need a link checker please try

I make most all my graphics with , but have recently started using Photo Shop 6.0, some.

To surf or browse the web, I use both Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer. I find they both have their pros and cons and feel as a web designer you must check the looks of your pages with both.

For FTP purposes, at present I use Cute FTP but am in the process of trying the free ware version of WS_FTP

Another program that I like a lot is Picture Dicer, but my link to it is bad and I can't find a new one, but still think it is a good problem when you need to "dice" up a big graphic.

What a help this little jewel had been for me. I check my meta tags and see if they are good for the search engines.

Now for the people that have helped me and encouraged me most on line.

You might think,... you design web pages and need help? In web design there is always room for an opinion or someone to find that code that just didn't work the way you planned on it working and these folks below are the best there is for that.

Tammie from A Family Quilt, I don't know how she has put up with me all this time. LOL she tells me that my great uncle killed her great great great grandpaw's brother, but I am not so sure of the number of greats there are, nor am I sure it actually happened, (my father knows nothing about it) It really matters not we have become great friends and it was from genealogy that we met. I know when I am in a bind I can holler at her to handle things for me.

Pam from Squirrel Wildlife Rehabilitation is always there when I need help with a code or a cgi script or whatever it might be. She is also an excellent proof reader.

Jen, Terri and Doc have always been there cheering me on, telling me I can do it even when I think that I can't. Thanks, Guys you are the greatest. BTW, doc's also my dentist and he is wonderful, if you are in need of a good dentist and especially one that doesn't hurt, he is the one to see.
