What do you use?

[painful]

OK, so I am learning, maybe a little slow but still, I'm learning. I was wondering what ya'll use for updating your site? Me, I'm set up to use an FTP linked to a program called Sitedepth. It's a bit confusing for me, it's all pretty new. What do you guys and gals use? Sitedepth is a bit of a bitch, it won't let me upload some galleries, I must be doing something wrong. It's nice though, I don't have to make thumbs, it does it all for me. I just upload to the FTP, then open Sitedepth and they are there. Auto news, calendar updates if I want, etc. Is this typical software for webmasters to work with?
