Offline Blog Editing Tools
If you are not already keeping a Blog of your own you may be finding you are soon to be a minority. It has become so easy to create one now the complex part is actually writing in it, and this article is about new ways to create or edit Blogs from other programs, offline so to speak. The first I'll describe is one I am trial-ing to make this part of this post. It's a freebie from Microsoft called Windows Live Writer .
For a Windows product, it's not bad. |
PicniK.com
PicniK.com I just Stumbled Upon this new (to me at least) online graphic editor and it is pretty neat. I've been expecting services like this now as the web 2.0 design of weblife comes into being. this service is still Beta but that means it's advanced features are available free for now. This site will do all the basic image editing like any editor on your computer but it does more and it does it within a browser window. to make it easier you can also open it's editor to "Full Screen" so it looks like any program you have on your computer, but its a web page. It integrates with your hard drive, Flickr, Picasa, and Facebook images at this time and looks like to intends to work with many more services as time goes on. Try it out, it's a five of five rating from me. Internet Speedtesting
Update: The value of Internet speed to our nation's future is not being recognized. The USA is (now) number 16 in the world for population having broadband Internet. The importance of this has been completely ignored by our leadership and will have long lasting effects in our position in the world. Our children will not honestly get to be the world leaders we think our generation and generations before us were.

Welcome to Joomla!
If you've read anything at all about Content Management Systems (CMS), you'll probably know at least three things: CMS are the most exciting way to do business, CMS can be really, I mean really, complicated and lastly Portals are absolutely, outrageously, often unaffordably expensive.
{mosimage}Joomla! is set to change all that ... Joomla! is different from the normal models for portal software. For a start, it's not complicated. Joomla! has been developed for the masses. It's licensed under the GNU/GPL license, easy to install and administer and reliable. Joomla! doesn't even require the user or administrator of the system to know HTML to operate it once it's up and running. |
