Have finally, finally updated my website. Everything over 500 words that I've posted since April should now be up there, so, um, a bunch of new stuff.

Had to use my old computer to do it, though, since there are several Mac-Windows differences that I'm not sure about. Like all my pages being hand-coded in Notepad, except I don't think Mac OS X has Notepad, and I'm not sure what the equivalent is. Or, basically, what I can use to code my website. Also, need to find an FTP program. Tried Fugu, which a couple people recommended awhile ago, except it requires information for log-on that I don't know. Also tried a few programs I found off the downloads page of the Apple website, but they didn't work.

I really need to figure out how to update my website using a Mac. Keeping my old computer around just for that would be pretty damn inconvenient.

Did you look around at versiontracker.com at all? They have oodles of free/shareware apps (with reviews/ratings) and you can search keyword or category.

Otherwise, aside from what I'd mentioned to you previously, cyberduck is a very good ftp app that also allows sftp like fugu if you ever want to take advatage of that.

SubEthaEdit is a good editor ( http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18956 ), otherwise, in your applications folder is TextEdit which is the basic plaintext editor that comes with the OS.

So, about that screenplay...are you interested?

I've never written a screenplay and am not sure what to do, but I suppose I could give it a shot.

I'll work with you on it, of course, I just wanted to ask you to be the main writer because that's what you do--write. And you're good at it. So if you find the time over the summer, you could find and read the book if you wanted, but I'm not planning on starting anything until school re-convenes.

Thanks, Corrine!

(lurker here) TextEdit comes with OS X, and is roughly equivalent to Notepad. I like BBEdit for something slightly more featured, and it's free. OS X comes with command-line ftp and sftp -- they're not the most intuitive to use but they do work. Just pull up a terminal window and go.

Er...terminal window? And where would I find BBEdit?
