Programming
What did you build your website with?
I used dreamweaver 8, but most of the coding was done manually with HTML.
Can you make a flash game?
I'm a beginner with ActionScript. I've managed to conquer simple dress up games, and did a slightly buggy action game. Anything too beyond that I'll have to learn more stuff for.
Other
What program did you make winamp skins with?
Photoshop, a winamp skin template found on winamp.com, and "Winamp Skin Maker".
Can you make a DDR stepfile for *insert song*
No, because it takes time and I don't gain any experience from it. I use do DDR requests but back then I had a LOT more free time. You can make one on your own with the step maker that comes with stepmania.
