1. If your question seems like a common one, please browse through the old threads and I bet you'll find it answered already! (ESPECIALLY on Variations).
Also, please dont title your thread "Help" because less people will click on it, and for future reference like above, then its just annoying.

2. Hexing is editing the way a file looks. Ie. painting a breed a different colour. However it can be much more advanced than this as you will have seen!

3.For great hexing tools click on the links below

Can we add LNZ Pro (http://carolyn.thepetzwarehouse.com/NicholasTools.htm) to the hex editing list? It's possibly the best LNZ editing tool out there.. really easy to use, plus it has error checking to tell you when you make a mistake and a reformat tool to realign the numbers nicely. It colour codes sections to make them super easy to find.

At funky chickens you need to put a com instead of the om.

The "Axe" link doesn't work anymore. o_0

Edit -

dhost.info is a good free-web-hosting site.

I have 2 notes,
www.xthost.info
Is a free UNLIMITED bandwitch as long as you request more.
You start off with 30MB pretty good for a basic petz 5 website. Another thing, NO pops ups. Mine only uses pop ups because I have a tag board and bravenet.
Also, cjb.net is free for e-mails.
They ALSO let you have mail aliases. For example,
[e-mail] can let my e-mail go to cjb.net or I have a foward that sends all that mail to [e-mail] automaticly.
On top of that, my friend also used an AOL account that doesn't work well with proboards. She used my e-mail, [e-mail] forwards to her e-mail or I 'think' she can check on cjb.net.

Edited: I just double checked now, and you can host your website and a fast URL direct with cjb.net
Also I can send [e-mail] It's pretty awesome overall if you can do both like yahoo and geocities does.

Hope that helps out this forum. ♥ It's what I use and I am amzed, it's not up there.
