Free Webmaster Internet Tools:
Free HTML Tutorials, and HTML Verifier
I love this page of Web Page How-to's and you will too! And some other great Free HTML tutorials can be found right here.
Free DHTML Scripts
How about a ton of Free DHTML Scripts? You will find scripts for menus and navigation, document effects, scrollers, links and tool tips, general Images, calendars, image slideshows, date and time, mouseover images, dynamic content, form effects, mouse and cursor, window and frames, text animations, user/system preference and DHTML Games!
Another great source for free Scripts is HotScripts.com has free scripts for ASP, ASP.NET, C and C++, CFML, CGI and Perl, Flash, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Remotely Hosted, Tools and Utilities, and to many others to list here!
Free HTML and Text Batch Editor:
Want to make batch changes to a number of text or HTML files? ReplaceEm 1.0 will do the trick and since it supports regular expressions, you can do more than other basic search and replace tools.
Free Favorite / Bookmark Icon Program:
Using this Graphics to Icon Conversion Tool will mean your site will stand out in a surfers favorites / bookmark list. Its works great and it's free!
I have found that my favorite / bookmark traffic has greatly increased since adding a Favicon to each of my sites and this tool is free and real simple.
What you need to do is make your icon as a JPEG or GIF 16 pixels by 16 pixels. After you use the free tool to convert you image to an ICO file, upload to the root of your domain and that is it!
Now that this is done, every time a surfer will bookmark your site, your new icon is copied into their cache file and displays whenever that visitor returns. When they look into this bookmark list, the bookmarks with the Favicon will stand out - more traffic for you!
Free Graphic Program:
A cute free graphic program you can download is ArtRage which is a painting package.
While the ArtRage is program is good, nothing beats Photoshop CS for true profession graphic editing and design. No professional photographer or web designer would think of using any program other than Adobe Photoshop CS
Free Logo Generator:
Make your web site look more professional the easy way with a free Logo Generator that is a snap to use. This program makes professional looking buttons too.
Free Image Composite Editor:
You can now get for free the Microsoft Image Composite Editor which is a program that stitches photographs together to make a panoramic view. Since the Microsoft Image Composite Editor takes many photographs and turns them into one, the final high resolution result can be saved in common formats like JPEG and TIFF to multi-resolution tiled.
Free Spyware Removal Tools:
Spybot and Super Anti Spyware (try the Free Edition - works great) are all great free programs that find and destroy the evil crap on your computer you pick up when surfing the web.
A decent free spyware tool although not nearly as good is the Microsoft Spyware removal and monitoring tool which I would only suggest for those with legitimate copies of Microsoft software on your hard drive.
I found that all of these free spyware removal tools work well and that all of them used together works great. When you are badly infected I find that using all of these programs at the same time one tool finds what the other has missed.
Even if you think you don't have spyware now, download these tool and you will be amazed at what you will find!
