I'm trying to find some programs that will be helpful for web design. I need an HTML and CSS editor. Some good graphics programs would be helpful too.

I already use Quanta Plus and GIMP, but some other good ones would be nice too. Some tutorials that would help for GIMP would be nice too.

EDIT: I'm not really interested in WYSIWYG Editors. I don't find them to be very efficient when compared to just code.

There's KompoZer, Bluefish, and Screem for HTML\CSS. Bluefish and Screem are in the repositories, and Kompozer can be found at http://kompozer.sourceforge.net/ .

As for GIMP tutorials, I have a few links in my del.icio.us bookmarks that might interest you. You can find it at http://del.icio.us/teradyne/gimp

Thanks. I've tried Bluefish and Screem. I'm not really interested in a WYSIWYG editor.

I just got Aptana, and it seems like it's going to be very useful.

Nvu is a WYSIWYG editor for HTML files and has CSS Interrogation, if I recall.

You say you already use Quanta Plus. I personally use it, and have found no app to equal it. It looks nice, it's project management is exactly what I need, pressing F8 ftps (ssh's, whatever) all changed project files to where they need to be on the web server and whatnot.

Is there something specific you want? I think if you look around Q+, you'll see it can do just about everything.

Any other ideas?

Another shout for Bluefish here, I use it exclusively.

I use Quanta. I love the easy upload and the autocompletes. That said, I'm starting to use Aptana a bit more for things now (which also has sftp and autocompletes).

For graphics I use Inkscape and GIMP.

Bluefish gets my vote, very good code formating and its quick :)

Keep meaning to take a better look at quanta tho, since being a KDE user I think thats what Im 'ment' to be using....
