Liz – I haven’t tried FireFTP yet either – but I will definitely check it out.

Tony – I use Fireworks and Dreamweaver daily, but haven’t tried GIMP yet.

To me this is the best way to learn about new products and tools! One of these days, I’ll post mine as well.

This is a cool idea Char.

Like Robin, I’ve found Google Reader to be my new best friend. It’s become my conversphere dashboard, where I read, tag stuff to blog about or comment on, and organize all my RSS stuff.

I write all my posts in HomeSite. Being an old school (X)HTML coder, I like having text editor control.

Since a lot of my blogging and writing involves my cartoons, I use GIMP and Fireworks daily.

For communication, I’d be lost without Skype and Gaim.

And for FTP I use FileZilla.

FirreFTP is a new one for me. I’ll have to look at it to see what it has to offer.
I think this feature is a real winner, Char. It’s fun to picture people using their tools.
