Webpages That Suck ~ a favorite place to go when I want to feel a little better about...erm...this one. Well, a
little better...
Bobby ~ Online validator that checks your webpage for accessibility. Don't think that's important? Read the friendly information.
There are two kinds of people building websites: those who care about content, and those who are content not to care.
Nvu ~ Pronounce it N-view, and work on your previously constructed pages without f*cking up the code (at least not the basics), or start from scratch. This is the primo free WYSIWYG editor.
What, you need an FTP client now?
FileZilla is pretty good these days. Then again, you could just simplify your life by using
Free Commander as both file manager and FTP client. I do.

Son Of Spy ~ An old favorite. One heck of a list of useful things, most links are direct download from the source. NO spyware, no adware. It seems to be gone.
NONAGS ~ Nag-free freeware only
IrfanView ~ One piece of software that I can not live without. Whether you merely want to look at pictures or resize them, or do outrageous things to them, IrfanView is the ultimate tool. You don't need Adobe PhotoBloat to resize your baby pics (that's like using a sledgehammer to drive a half-inch brad anyway lol), or even to take out the red eyes.

Fractal Explorer ~ IMHO the best. If you visit any of my fractal galleries you will see what it can do.
Fractovia ~ connect with the whole fractal world here, or the best parts of it, anyway.

MDGX ~ Tweak capital of the world. It's
your computer.
Startups - Contents ~ WTF all those mysterious invisible processes are, and are they necessary? Many programs install a lot of odd bits, processes that start with Windows and waste resources that might be put to better use. Then there are the bad guys. Sort them out and clean up your startups.

the AuelBoard ~ Fans of Jean Auel's Earth's Children" series hang out here to talk and trade tales. Some of the world's worst fanfic here -- and some gems amid the mud.
FullBooks ~ Another source of free literature. You don't have to go to the library in nasty weather.
FanFiction.Net ~ Caveat lector. I think one in 200 may be good reading. I visit once in a while but usually stagger away groaning.

MaksaZone ~ a friendly forum for poetic souls, and there are some healthy laughs to be had from the jokes.
Mutts ~ Everyone's favorite critter cartoon strip

JAK's Place ~ I work there, so of course they get a webmistress thrown in free.
SwiftHost ROCKS!

Need something else? Voila! Your choice of search engines. Clusty is handy because it organizes the results into "clusters" of related material. That can help you to narrow down your search a little faster sometimes.
All search engines are a little different. They will find a slightly different range of items and your input may not be applied in the same way. One gets used to using a particular tool, but sometimes it is good to change.
