Following are links to some helpful tools and tutorials if you're already building or planning on building your own site. Some of these I use, some of them I don't. The programs I do or have personally used and can recommend will have a * next to them.
Web Designing
HTML Editors
Coffee Cup html Editor
Arachnophilia
* Hot Dog html Editor
Another alternative, and what I use now, you can do it by hand in Notepad
FTP
* WS_FTP
* CuteFTP
Leech FTP
Graphics Programs
* Paint Shop Pro - This one is the easiest to use, and pretty inexpensive
* Adobe Photoshop - A good bit more pricey than PSP and a little tougher to use, but I prefer it b/c you can do more with it :)

**Please note that some older browsers do not support iframes, therefore if you use them some of the visitors to your site may not be able to view it correctly. This site doesn't use frames of any type because of that. Hopefully in the near future all browers will support them :)

Web Hosting
Cyber Pixels - This is where all my domains are currently hosted, and I can't say enough good things about them. They have great prices and packages, and if their standard deals aren't right for you they're more than willing to work out a custom package. They gave me an excellent one for this domain, and I needed A LOT of bandwidth lol. Can be paid monthly, semi-annually or annually.
Active Web Hosting - They're great in that there's no limit to the amount of space you can use, but bandwidth becomes an issue frequently. If your site isn't going to get huge, you can't beat them, though. Can be paid monthly, semi-annually or annually.
Gear Host - This host has an excellent Platinum package that offers 500 MB of web space and 30 GB a month of bandwidth for $24.95. Only problem is the minimun you can pay is quarterly, which means if you're not satisfied with the service you're locked in for 3 months.
