My favorite web tools

Below is list of the web tools I can't live without. 


1)  ColorCop - This great free tool lets you drag a selection tool any where on your screen and gives you the Hex values for it.  This comes in extremely useful when trying to make a background color of your web page quickly match the color of an image.

2)  Fiddler2 - Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all
HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.

3)  ColourLovers and Kuler - These give you excellent choices for color pallets for your website.  I'm good at making things work, but not very good at making them easy to look at.  These web sites make it a lot easier.

4)  Visual Studio - I know there are plenty of html editors out there, but even the free version of Visual Studio is my favorite when it comes to editing html.  The ability to quickly flip between design and preview modes make life easy.  The right click to fire up a web browser and view your page is an extra plus.

5)  FileZilla - A free ftp client, easy to use interface.
