This website was created using a MacBook Pro (2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and an iMac (2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). Connected to each is a 23” Apple Cinema Display so that I have a large work area to create and test this website. Simply put, I use a Mac because it just works. There are no viruses, spyware or incompatibilities. I connect a printer or display, and it just connects. I can backup my work both over the internet or locally to my backup location. I can create without being a networking pro.

I created this website with RapidWeaver from Realmac Software Limited. RapidWeaver helps me create well designed websites using HTML, PHP and CSS code. It also takes advantage of Leopard-technologies, and integrates with Apple’s iLife suite of programs. What I particularly enjoy is that I can pick a “theme”, then, using plugins and other tools, personalize this website for my own needs. There is still a lot for me to learn about this powerful program, so this website will be a constant work in progress.

Finally, the good people at MacHighway host this website. They are Mac friendly, using a rack-mounted Xserve with Mac OSX Server. What I really appreciate about them is that they have world-class customer service.
