I have a Canon scanner at the moment. I have used others and they all seem to be pretty good, especially with photos.

I use Paint shop pro as and editor which is somewhat similar to Photoshop. I only use PSP 'cos it was the first one I used. They each have their pros and cons.

You can get your own website of your own for about 100 bucks a year. I use Startlogic which gives me loads of space. They have several different options to choose from. I believe that most major hosts are pretty competitive, so look around.
