Bravenet:
The form is what I'm actually using. They have a LOT of other tools as well;
if you're on a host that doesn't allow various scripted tools, check out Bravenet.
Google: The
language tools may
not cover many languages, but do appear to be very thorough for the ones it
does cover. It does claim to be in "beta" status, though. (For those
who are unfamiliar with software development terms, "beta" usually
means that it's not quite complete and/or there's probably still bugs.)
Vyrdolak: who's
site originally started me on this path, and who's Checklist is, er, was (she
doesn't have it on her site anymore) The Best Thing to print out and hand
to people just to see their reaction. ::grins::
Sanguinarius: who's
site was next on the path and is pretty damned comprehensive :) as well as
the inspiration for my eventually getting off my ass and getting this put
up in the first place. :)
Caelia: For helping
me with rewording things when I have nasty cases of writer's block.
All the newbie folks in chat: who
kept asking the tons of questions newbies would normally ask (and who I have
to keep telling "No, you're not being stupid" - really, you aren't
being stupid!) and who's questions *will* make it into a some sort of real
FAQ... someday...
All the regulars in chat: (You
know who you are!) who were there most of the time (Okay, so my online tend to suck) but who were people I could talk to that didn't think I was nuts,
and didn't go "eeew, gross!" ::sigh:: It's not the same as live-in-person,
but every little bit helps.
All the folks on the message boards:
who remind me why I started this site, and who give
me the occasional needed inspiration. :)
The DMOZ category editors:
Past and present, who've put up with my "Oh crap, I had to move"
"Is the link fixed yet?" "Oh crap I had to move again, here's
the new one" and my general pest factor ("But why can't you use
THIS link??") in my quest to find a stable (ha!) freehost without adverts,
even if I didn't have much luck in 2002.) Thanks guys, your patience is VERY
much appreciated!

The corner sphinx head logo came from a web template set he did.
I changed it ONLY by making it greyscale from the original full color. It
is otherwise unchanged, and the copyright remains his.
313 Gothic Graphics
The graphic components on my black banner came from
this site. Unfortunately, she appears to have taken down the free graphics,
but last I checked, she still has a site there. Update April 2001 - ScaryLady
is taking down the site at the end of the month - GeoCities strikes again.
:(
Blue Sky Heart is
where the little red winged heart came from. It's one of his icons, and let
me tell you he does some AWESOME icons! ::drool:: And the NEW news is that
he now has them available in Windows format. And while you're there, check
out the wallpapers - just don't forget the drool rag. :) And there's plenty
of freebie wallpapers for everyone... :)
Cool
Archive home of a bunch of free graphics and, unfortunately, a bunch of
popup ads too. :( But, this is where the pawprint, pin, and blob came from.
I had to play with them a little, to render them usable on a dark background.
