What software do you use when building a website using a wordpress theme?

Other the Dreamweaver, what software would you use?

Yeah, ditch Dreamweaver. Building a Wordpress template entails a degree of familiarity with the code that Dreamweaver won’t give you.

I personally use gVim (an excellent, powerful text editor), GIMP, and Inkscape when I build wordpress themes. I also run a full server stack on my computer so that I don’t have to constantly upload stuff to some web server for debugging — so that includes Apache, PHP, and MySQL. Additionally, I use Firefox with a couple of extensions, FireBug and Web Developer, to help me tweak the page designs and debug any Javascript I’ve written. Then I test in Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, and Opera.

I think that’s it!
