Arachnophilia is an editor that I used for years for my HTML. It's actually "Care Ware," but technically free. I love firefox, even though my computer has been crashing it a lot of late.

I'm sure there's some good stuff here and I love when people share what they like and what is free! xo My reservation is more that I’m sort of technophobic, having no tech-no-logic makes me not very adventurous when it comes to trying new software.

I like the way you're sharing the highlights of what folks share in their comments too. I share Colleen's concerns, but I've been a user of Mozilla for YEARS and hate IE. I've used AdWare, Spybot and ZoneAlarm in the past and I've used Picasa and PhotoBucket experimentally in the last few months since I started blogging. I've just learned to use Photoshop Elements (though I've owned various versions for years) ... I can't get Big Huge Labs to make mosaics yet but I'll keep trying. I've run McAfee for years and tend to rely on their 'cleaner' ... but may check out CCleaner just because I like the old name ;--) I'm curious why you HATE Photoshop and wonder if you've shared previously in posts. If you have and can direct me to them, I'd be interested to read them. I have my own issues with the program ... but I've learned to do some pretty nifty things with it this summer. I'd hate to think I wasted my time ... Hugs and blessings, What an interesting T-13 topic. I like the way you’re sharing the highlights of what folks share in their comments too.

We use AVG, and are relatively happy with it, I couldn't believe all the garbage it caught that McAfee missed. While I have nothing against most Adobe products I do have to admit they aren't always the most user friendly. We have Paint Shop Pro here at home as well as a few odd freebies and find we enjoy them and even my 5 year old could learn to use them. Great 13!

After it was all over, the winner was Picasa - FREE from Google. It's the easiest, fastest, and good as very basic editing.
