Eclectic: (Adjective) Composed of elements drawn from various sources.

That's exactly what this site is all about: elements drawn from various sources. In other words, all kinds of stuff from who knows where, having to do with anything I please! Things to inform and educate you, things to entertain and amuse you, things to inspire you, and possibly a thing or two for sale. I also have some great links that may, or may not, have something to do with the other goodies you'll find on this site. This is, after all, the Eclectic Site. Here, among other things, you'll find help with finances and dealing with financial stress, as well as some wonderful, can't-be-beat creams and lotions homemade by my wife. See, told you this was an eclectic site. I will add things as I go along (and as I improve my HTML skills) so check back from time to time.

Here's how I create and maintain Eclecticsite.com

Kompozer (I use this free WYSIWYG web page designer / editor to create my pages.)

FileZilla (Free FTP file transfer software I use to upload audio and executable files.)

Paint Dot Net (I use this free software to create and / or modify a lot of my graphics)

UnFREEz

UnFREEz (A free utility that helps create animated graphics)

Audacity (A free program for editing audio.)

You can create and maintain an entire website using nothing but this collection of free software. Everything I've done on Eclecticsite.com can be accomplished using only the free programs listed.

Here is some other software I use and really like.

Spybot Search and Destroy (A pretty good and totally free antispyware.)

Super Antispyware (Another free antispyware I use frequently.)

Spyware Doctor (I've not used this one personally, but it has won awards and I've heard good things about it.)

Webroot (I use, and so far really like, this antispyware and antivirus package.)

Glary Utilities (I use the free version to scan & repair my registry. So far, I like it and haven't had any problems.)

GoldWave (Although not free, this audio editing software does a lot for the price. This is my 'go-to' audio editor and I've been using it for years. The trial version is free.)
