Just wanted to add some software links for you. These programs are free, by the way, because i'm always trying to save money.

This is an editor. It carries A LOT of coding langauges and is the best i've found on the net.

Gimp is a fantastic alternative to photoshop. It's also easy to understand and very useful.
If you're always on the lookout for free software, you can go to
www.download.com and search their website. There are buttons to the left hand side that you can click for free stuff. First, choose a catagory. Then, go to the same left side bar and choose 'free' on the first part of the side bar. Below that, you can choose your OS.
