| Don't forget your email filing system backup; I did. I didn't have a retrievable backup system in place. After tech mind melds, a few headaches, & valuable time, I gratefully retrieved these lost items. I now use Mozy Home, & have a WD 500G external. Tip Credibility: 4 |
| SEOBook's Rank Checker is an absolute lifesaver for checking search engine rankings! You can check ranking for hundreds of different keywords with a click of a mouse. Tip Credibility: 6 |
| For the Mac, which I use far more than my PC, I use Text Wrangler. It's awesome for coding, can open and even compare multiple docs, can search and replace in multiple files - opened or not, includes FTP uploading built in and as they say so much more :) Tip Credibility: 19 |
| I've never used NoteTab myself, but I do use Trellian CodePad, which is really great for quick web page editing since it uses colored HTML syntax highlighting and line numbering. Tip Credibility: 11 |
| NoteTab is a really great text editor. I use it daily. It uses tabs, and it's possible to have lots of files open at the same time. NoteTab Light is the freeware version, and that's what I use. @notetab.com Tip Credibility: 7 |
| If you use a computer, you absolutely, positively MUST have a backup system in place - NOW! If the “ones and zeros” that make up your life disappear. . . it will be as if you never existed. Backup to an external drive and backup remotely. Tip Credibility: 7 |

| Another great tip for highlighting text in most windows applications is that if you double click a word it will highlight it automatically for you, and if you triple-click it will highlight the whole sentence or paragraph. You can also use CTRL-X to Cut Tip Credibility: 6 |
| I agree about openoffice. It's great.
Roboform is another handy tool designed for managing passwords. There's a free version available. Tip Credibility: 6 |

| FreeMind is a great mind map tool, open source and very functional. Use it to brainstorm ideas, plan presentations and structure reports. Tip Credibility: 13 |
