    Avast Antivirus or Kaspersky

    I was just coming in here to throw AVG in the ring. I've been using the free version for years and like it better than Avast. Never used Kapersky as I'm mainly a Mac user these days and use different tools for MacOS

    what is alt tag

    Exactly what rashidajones said. Not to be confused with a picture's title which shows on hover. Honestly though, many times I'll make it the same. I don't know if that's considered bad form or not?

    Top 3 blogging platforms

    I've personally only used WP.com and Blogger. The Wordpress was someone else's page that they used as an online magazine. I had an editor login which I could use to contribute article. It's was a really smooth setup, and gave you a lot of control. I had a Blogger blog for a while, and...

    Any Good Free Web Editor/Designing Tools Like Dreamweaver?

    As a DW user the main nice to have is the autocomplete feature. I know that's stopped from me banging my head more than once. Does Brackets offer that? I wonder if Adobe is going to be buying it out or just trying to run them out of town with Edge?

    How can I use YouTube for my business?

    What SkyyCreaTech and rustycatter said are great suggestions. Tutorials help demonstrate your knowledge, and your willingness to help the customer. Adding a bumper at the end and/or beginning of the video will be the advertisement for your name and website/facebook page, etc. I'd probably...

    The title Webmaster feels a little presumptuous for me...

    I have recently (about a year ago) taken over maintenance and administration of a website for a 501c I'm involved with. I'm doing okay keeping it updated and making small changes here and there, but I don't feel like a Webmaster. Can anyone suggest some good resources to get up to speed on PHP...

    Gmail Vs Hotmail

    I don't think I've used Hotmail regularly since about the year 2000. It was a little klunky then, and I didn't like the MS Live overhaul that it went through. Gmail isn't the most attractive interface, but I don't use it on the web very often. I use it in my mail client, and it works great in...
