Like Simone, I'm a PC user. When looking for stock photos, I generally look on <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/" rel="nofollow">stock.xchng</a> first. They have a large range of free stock photos. I highly recommend the <a href="http://www.getfirebug.com/" rel="nofollow">Firebug Firefox extension</a>. It lets you inspect and modify CSS rules, and even lets you debug JavaScript. I know the Web Developer toolbar you mentioned can do some of these things, but I find Firebug's inspection features a lot more useful. You can inspect an item on a web page, and it will display all the relevant CSS rules that are affecting it. I register my .au domains at <a href="http://www.netregistry.com.au" rel="nofollow">NetRegistry</a>. They let you manage all your domains in one account, or alternatively you can log into an account that will only let you modify that specific domain name. For Email marketing I have used <a href="http://www.icontact.com/" rel="nofollow">iContact</a>, however I have since realised that Aweber has a lot more features than iContact. Great list of tools there Glenn!

I'll also add my vote to Wordtracker and Copyblogger! Some comments about Windows tools I use: I use Gimp for photo retouching and slowly coming to grips with it - it is powerful, but complex. Downloading the Help resources is essential! I've recently started complementing my istock photos with Getty Images - a bit more natural if you are after that look. I'd also recommend AAA Logo for a simple, inexpensive logo making package and cooltextgraphics for buttons etc. Glenn,
