What you need to have
Apart from curiosity and patience, good things seldom come easily, you also need a few applications:
- Text and CSS editor
- FTP client
Windows
If you are running Windows I recommend SmartFTP, it is free and easy to use.
For editing templates, HTML and CSS I recommend ConText, a free open source programmer’s editor.
Macintosh
By my Apple loving friends I’ve been told that Mac users should look into:
http://smultron.sourceforge.net
*NIX
If you are running a UNIX/Linux as operating system, a standard text editor such as VI/VIM, Emacs, Pico or Nano will do. You can use the FTP client that came with your system or distribution to upload and download files.
I will not explain how to use these applications, they all come with help files. If you get stuck with an application please consult its help files.
