However, next year, the PR team (which I'm on) and website team are combining into one Communications team, and I just wanted a little info from you guys who know lots about this stuff. I have Macromedia at my house, and I'm pretty familiar with Fireworks, Flash, and Dreamweaver.

Back to my point, what programs does your team use?
Images: GIMP (Gnu Image Management Program), comes with Linux, works on Mac and Windows, free off of Sourceforge.net

Webcode: UltraEdit-32 Professional Text/Hex Editor, just Google it. 30-day free trial, there are web tutorials all over the place on how to crack the expiration on older versions.

More Webcode: EditPad Pro/ EditPad Lite (the U3 flash drive version), basically Notepad on crack. Very helpful for taking notes; tab-separated file windows, undockable, has a bunch of nifty and useful scripts for text editing, and the coolest thing of all: A little green earth-shaped icon that opens the current text file as HTML or javascript in your default browser. Very helpful.
