Other Plugs and Recommendations
- Xmarks: Synchronize your browser bookmarks across multiple computers here!
- The WCGComics.com website is hosted by WestHost. Very affordable and very dependable.
- While upgrading the WCG Comics website, I came across a more dependable pop up menu system using Project Seven's CSS Expess Drop Down Menu system that I found much more dependable and easier to execute than rival approaches built in to Dreamweaver and provided by Macromedia Fireworks. Recommended for anyone needing a simple pop up menu system.
