I've used many FTP clients over the years like Cyberduck, Transmit, Fetch, YummyFTP, Coda (Yes, Coda is basically Transmit plus a code editor and more) and am looking forward to using Flow, now.
The one thing that bugs me the most about FTP clients apps is the reliance upon their own bookmarking system. Flow is the exception as it can recognize Cyberduck's bookmarks, but you can't import any others that I know of. Coda, Transmit and YummyFTP all use their own system and this is a pain if you want to migrate over or have reason to use multiple client apps.

It's funny to look back and see what you've learned about CSS and web design, as a whole. Looking back, I know that my first sites were terrible. I didn't know about Doctypes, symantically correct HTML, etc.
For those of us that have forgotten what it is like to be a new web designer, web developer, or on the client side of things, I have provided a list of CSS classes to use as a reminder (in light-hearted jest, of course).

Conditional Love Object
CLObject (in order to give it an actual name), came about after frustration with getting Suckerfish Dropdowns to work with SWFobject. My Suckerfish dropdowns were behind my Flash animation in IE only. After trying various CSS changes (z-index, absolute positioning, etc), I realized that it might be possible to put conditional comments for IE on the embed tag, but Camino/Firefox/Flock would choke and not show anything at all while Safari and IE were fine.
