If you are designing websites and use Lorem Ipsum, you “need” LittleIpsum. What a great feeling when repetitive tasks get a great solution. Check them out.
ThemeForest.net
ThemeForest, and the entire Envato Marketplace family, has changed the way many build, access, and approach web construction, design, and extension. It’s a win-win, for users and designers, developers and owners.
In their words, you can begin your search for:
Site templates and themes to skin popular CMS products like WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, starting at $5.
It’s a great place to start for WordPress Themes, and I recommend it.
Transmit | FTP Client (Mac)
I saw this little purple truck early on in my days of learning about building websites. Then I saw it again and again…and again! I always wanted to know what it was for. And then the day came – I needed my first FTP client. I guess it was the second-hand enthusiasm that I couldn’t resist.
But I did do my research (and you should, too!). I’m on a Mac, so I had FileZilla (free), Cyberduck (free), Fetch, Forklift (which I liked), Flow and Transmit, all as viable options. I downloaded and tested during trial periods and found that I loved the little purple truck.
Could I use the others? Absolutely. Could I recommend them to you? I think I could even do that. Do I like using Transmit? I do.
