The Compy Though I was a Windows user for years, I'm now a devoted Mac lover. Not once have I regretted switching.

The Coding Pretty much everything I know about coding I learned from reading Idocs, looking at other people's source code (but not copying it!), and googling whatever elements I didn't understand. I write all my own HTML and CSS in BBEdit Lite. I don't, however, know PHP (outside of includes and simple stuff like that). I run my fanlistings with PHPFanbase and FanAdmin, and use SiteSkin on various websites. By the way, if anyone knows a good place to learn PhP, by all means, tell me about it!

The Graphics Everything I make is done in Photoshop. Spendy, yes, but it's worth every cent. Unfortunately, both of the sites I got my brushes from - Roshiweb.com and Ti-fi.com/DigitalBristle - appear to not exist anymore. If anyone knows of a new link for either of them or is just dying to obtain the brushes, drop me a line. As far as fonts go, I'm a total DaFont whore. They've got tons of free fonts in a multitude of styles. I could spend (and have spent) hours just browsing everything.

The Sitely All of my sites are registered with and hosted by Dreamhost and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. My FTP client is Fetch - got it for the cute puppy; kept it for the awesomeness. And the cute puppy. Seriously, he's adorable.
