| Web Hosting by DreamHost |
Everything I've read
about
Dreamhost was good and so far I can report that it works well.
Set up has been easy for the most part (they've dumbed down
the
process about as much as I think possible - you still need a little
technical competence if you want to set up a full fledged website).

| Nvu - The Complete Web Authoring System for Linux, Macintosh and Windows | Open source web authoring package that I have used to design the general look and most of the pages here. It all depends on what you want. I'n the past I used Microsoft's Front Page and it's a bit cookie cutter like, but there's wa more automation included and it seemed to me that it was easier to update the overall design of the site. But I'm quite new to this software, to it may just be the user hasn't discovered all its capabilities yet. NVU has excellent "what you see is what you get" editing and lets you click over to the source code to update by hand or insert code. |
| VisiBone Webmaster's Color Lab | Sometimes, it helps to have some color help when designing a site, which may surprise you looking at this pretty much black design. |
| CSS Express Pure CSS Drop-Down and Popup Menus by PVII | The source for that super snazzy menu bar across the top. I updated it by hand with my own site layout and changed some colors, but the overall design is thanks to this site. |
| Gallery | Your photos on your website | What would a photography website be without a gallery function? The code was pre-installed by Dreamhost and I am still uncovering all the nifty features and possible enhancements. |
| WordPress › Blog Tool and Weblog Platform | I've been blogging for years now, but with my own site, I'm centering that activity here. I've had all my trip blogs moved here and am working on retrieving some of my personal blogs from my old blog. Wordpress also came pre-installed, but I would have selected it on reputation alone. |
