I have been doing web design for a couple of years. I prefer to do everything by hard coding. Just came across this forum and decided that I liked the look of it. Hopefully I will be able to find some good help and also help other people. I use HTML-Kit and the GIMP mostly for my web designing and program in PHP and use MySQL. Yes, if any of y'all can't tell I am mostly a free-loader - but maybe I will eventually make enough money to justify spending the big $$ on the big programs. My own pet project for the past couple of years has been on my site: TuneSmith Central. I am also a bit of a music freak as well. I am excited to be here.
