This whole website/blog thing is new to me and a few months ago a list of useful programs or sites would have been good, so here’s a start to mine.

1.Web Developer toolbar for Firefox - Very handy as it allows you to see the css for all websites you view and for quickly getting the location of all images on that particular page. I found it useful to check the CSS after I had attempted to change things in my stylesheets and saw no change. I wanted to see exactly what the page was displaying before I went in to edit further Get It Here

2.Colorzilla for Firefox - A great little application allows you to use a dropper tool to select any colour on any webpage and gives you the html,RGB etc for it. So when matching your backgrounds up with your templates you can be spot on the right colour Get It Here

3.StumbleUpon - Most of you will know this site, but if you don’t…it’s a social networking site where members share cool content they have found on the web. Other users then view the content randomly through a toolbar in their browser and are taken to all these wonderful sites around the web. I’ve used Stumble to get a few extra visitors to the site by submitting my own content. Also, by browsing other sites, I have found stuff I can write about for instance, World Wide Fido.Get It Here

4.Wordpress - The very page you are looking at is powered by Wordpress, a powerful blogging tool. It is so customisable, with plugins and widgets galore. Most websites have a blog and so should yours! You don’t even have to be good at design as there are hundreds of free templates out there.Get It Here

5.Web CEO - I used this to submit my site to the search engines, it’s great because you just fill in your details and hit submit, you don’t have to manually do it for each search engine.Get It Here

That’s all for now!

If anyone wants to add any I should try, let me know!
