Authoring Tools  
There are a multitude of web authoring tools available today. I find it a bit ironic that while I buy so many, I end up using the Windows Clipboard as my tool most often. When Netscape 4.0 was introduced for free, however, I found its Composer hard to resist. It's has become one of my favorite editing tools for working on the fly. The primary tools I use for authoring and design work today are the latest versions of Macromedia Dreamweaver and Fireworks. Following are some links to a variety of software tools I own, most of which I don't use but continue to track. Because web work is my primary trade, I maintain an extensive list of resources at my corporate web site. This list, I'm afraid, is one I find a hard time to maintain so please don't rely on it for your own resources. Instead, visit the section on my corporate site devoted to web developers. You will find it at http://www.westward.com/webwork/.

There is a lot of site management power built into Dreamweaver but I get the most beneficial assistance through installation of CGI scripts designed for site management purposes. For great ideas and frequent script shopping, I turn to CGI Resources and CGI World.
