LINKS
Learning new techniques requires HOURS
of searching the net for images, info, music, and tutorials.
I hope to save you some valuable time
in providing sites
that I have found extremely useful
MUSIC
I have found literally hundreds of music sites offering free music
-most of them require registration and then a fee
the sites listed below and FREE music sites for sure!!!
FLASHKIT
This is one fantastic site
THOUSANDS of FREE music files along with forums, tutorials, and lots of info.
I would like to thank all of the artists who provided the sound loops for this site.

drum, guitar, orchestra,and others

Lots of Mp3's here...full songs in every catagory and totally free.
WEB PAGE SOFTWARE
CoffeeCup offers a wide variety of web design software
at reasonable prices.
Plus you can download trial versions for free.
The HTML Editor is really great
I had never used an editor before
as I preferred hand coding
but thought that an editor might save time and energy.
I found CCup's Editor to be user friendly
although be aware that with any new
software there is going to be a learning curve!
The Forums plus the Help Page
are excellent resources to find answers to your quesitons or problems
They also offer
FLASH FIRESTARTER
which is a great little flash program for your web pages
FlASH BUTTON MAKER
FLASH PHOTO GALLERY
which I used on my Digtal page
and lots of other great programs to help in web design.
