My Goal

I am tired of having to look all over the place for solutions to technical problems.  For example, how do you make the smallest pdf possible with LaTex?  What is the best open source html editor? From now on, I plan to post my solutions here. 

By the way, as far as I can tell, the best way to get the size of a pdf down is to compile a DVI, compile it to PS, and compile that to PDF.
