Hey guys I'm new around here - but i've been on forums in the IM niche for over a year now. heres something I personally did and shared on another site and would like to share with everyone here as well. 
enjoy!
below you will find a list of useful sites and programs that may help you with your site design, content, and other such things on-site, as well as programs and resources for general activities you perform throughout your IM workday.
things to note:
• there are programs on some sites. download at your own risk. i have downloaded some but not all of these programs so please take caution. I don't have time to do virus total for 30+ programs
• some of these things you already have seen. someone else hasn't though. please don't complain if i shared something known to most. never know who needs it
• some are on first page of google, but i've searched for hours before finding what i needed because even one letter off on google won't get you what you want at times. so please don't bash for stuff on first page of google.
• I got a bunch of these from a similar post on wicked fire, so not going to take credit for all links. just made the ones from there a bit more compact and tried to organize it as well.
• i tried to add {code}{/code} to every link, if i missed one mods sorry!
tried to break them up into categories. here they are:
1. Programs
2. Project managers
3. Tracking
4. MISC
5. footers
6. website layouts/graphics/social media buttons/patterns
7. vector graphics
8. firefox plugins
9. Content Mangement Systems
10. iphone
11. text editors
And here we go, enjoy:

- install, hit shift-ctrl-f, then click on an element to see what it is (like click on a title to see i.e. if its really a h1 or if the wp template you are using is fucking up your seo efforts)
some others:
firebug plus pagespeed - checks your website for speed breaks and tells you what to do.
xmarks - bookmark synchronizer, nice for research too (smarter search feature)
ghostery - deactivates google analytics and other trackers - so your own visits dont show up in analytics
betterprivacy - takes care of flash cookies
pencil - scatching software for creating wireframes
scrapbook - really cool bookmark addon that saves the site you've bookmarked locally, you can edit it with comments, mark text, etc
CMS (content management systems):
Code:
http://mojomotor.com/
Code:
http://stackoverflow.com/
- ask your programming questions here
Iphone:
Code:
http://www.phonegap.com/
- use this with jquery mobile (I think) and you can create native app looking apps super easy. When I tried it a few months ago, I had trouble cause it didn’t have very good documentation. May be better now
Code:
http://testiphone.com/
- test what a website would look like on a iphone. Keep in mind, auto detecting websites won’t pick up that it’s a iphone. For example, I have a site that redirects to a mobile version when you goto it on a mobile device, in this case, it will not redirect. So goto the url directly
Code:

Code:
http://www.flavorstudios.com/iphone-icon-generator/
- create a iphone icon
