    The last forums had a thread like this, anyway I'll start out a new one so we can keep our links in one place. I'll be sure to update it frequently, just post links to any helpful software and tools you can find.

    Notes:
    I think for CMS we will just do ones from the forum unless anyone has a specific one, there are tons to choose from

    On a side note, tags need a different layout....

    Possibly just a inline with commas would fix it

    Edit; Sometimes it doesn't always work very well, but it's useful all the same.

    I don't know if it's a closed beta or if anyone can register to use it, but Mozilla's Bespin is a pretty decent wysiwyg editor and it's web-based.
