  - FTP
    - FTP Voyager [www]
      
      Desc:
      FTP Voyager integrates really well with topstyle 3. A double click on the html
      file in ftp voyager and up pops topstyle - this came in very handy when I
      discovered a bug in my style sheet that only showed up in IE5.
      
      FTP Voyager also has a directory synch function which is really useful for
      keeping directories up to date, and it multi threads so the transfers to and
      from the site seemed faster. It is also enormously robust.
      
      One word of warning - hidden files are not shown by default so you need to
      use the advanced tab on the site properties and set the extra list
      parameters to be '-al' . Especially important if you want to edit your
      .htaccess files.

      recommended. It also has html tidy integrated and can tell you about

      CSS is the future of web markup so learn it now while it isn't
      ubiquitous. It really can make your html simpler to maintain, write and
      easier to change the look of your site (hence some of the testing problems).

      It even works with hotmail and AOL.

      Desc:
      Neo is a fantastic Outlook Addon. It automatically filters your email into logical folders based on the correspondents email addresses and acts as a new easier to use front end for Outlook. Searching of your outlook message folder becomes super fast and it is so easy to manage your emails.
      
      Once I used this for a couple of days I couldn't face using Outlook on its own, I bought it and use it all the time.
