Em Chart is a great tool for calculating EM values based on pixel sizes.

XML Flash Slideshow

If you’ve been visiting my site lately, you’ll notice I’ve been migrating sections to slideshows. What am I using? XML Flash Slideshow V3! It’s a great extension developed to work with Adobe Dreamweaver and I’ve used the heck out of it. It’s not as sophisticated as a full blown photo gallery but it’s more than sufficient for my purposes.

I highly recommend it. I haven’t had any problems with it and their support is awesome. Plenty of templates for a newbie designer with lots of customization ability depending on your design skills.

Movabletype 3.35

I’ve used MovableType for years on previous sites. So it was natural to start with them when considering my site design. It’s been a very frustrating experience and I discontinued in favor of WordPress for several reasons.

First, I hate constantly having to deal with the cgi-bin and the rewrite of static pages every time I make a design change. It’s an extremely cumbersome process. Second, their plug-ins are difficult to load, and initiation is iffy at best. Half the time I can’t get them to work.

The one area Movabletype shines in is that I can establish multiple blogs without having to upload all the associated files for the blog system. I hope WordPress will seriously consider this feature!
