WIX: Build a website really fast

22/09/08 12:20

I have been using Rapid Weaver for quite awhile now and have to say that as a Web site development program I am extremely happy with this great app. However the Internet is continuing to evolve and there are new web services that are popping up everyday that promise to get you on the Web fast and easily. One of the new comers on the block is WIX which is an online website development program. It's easy and fun to use and in no time you could be online very quickly.

Wix can be used with a variety of Web hosting sites including BLOGGER and Wordpress and is free right now. My guess is that eventually they will charge for a premium service and maybe even a basic service.

iWeb

I started a new BLOG yesterday to help friends navigate the somewhat complicated world of wine. Rather then use Rapid Weaver, however, I decided to give iWeb a chance because I really like some of their templates. iWeb has improved a lot and it's really easy to get on the Web with iWeb but there are some things about the program that just drive me nuts.

If anyone likes to play Hearts I suggest that you avoid at all costs a website called "Harwood Hearts". I was a member of Harwood Hearts for almost a year but it seems that if you call somebody a name the hosts have the option to "ban you". Now keep in mind that you can't use bad language on the site because all of those words are not allowed to be used but as someone who likes to play hearts I was taken back when I was informed that I was permanently banned? So if I pay $30 to join you have the right to keep my money and not let me play? What's wrong with this picture. One of the problems with websites like these is that they get to play God and determine, like a corrupt power official, who will play and who will not play. A sad state of affairs and I advise all who read this BLOG to avoid this site at all costs.

What is about Apple users that makes some of them such zealots? I am referring to the "Apple can do no wrong and is God" syndrome that a lot of Mac users exhibit. Recently, with the release of 10.5.2 some people were saying praising Apple for upgrading Leopard while there were a vocal minority who felt that 10.5.2 should have been part of the original Leopard release and that this was just some fixes to catch up. For me it doesn't matter, Leopard has worked flawlessly in original release and 10.5.2 update but one has to wonder if Apple has its priorities straight. The Mac OSX is picking up share and with that comes the responsibility to maintain quality releases. Leopard was delayed due to allocation of resources to the iPhone and with the delay of Windows 7.0 till 2011 Apple has an opportunity to continue to make inroads in share if they can prove that they are a better company that Microsoft and release better products. With increased share also comes the responsibility of maintaining their excellent customer service and to be sure this is no easy challenge.

Apple Matters

There are a ton of Website out there devoted to everything Apple but most tend to be one sided towards Apple as in "Apple can never do any wrong". Such Websites, such as Mac Daily News, do not provide a fair balance on some of Apple's shortcomings from a very demanding customer base but I have found one website, Applematters, that actually presents a pretty balanced view of some of Apple's mistakes.

Web 2.0 is great as a place to get all kinds of information and the latest entry is a website called Page Flakes. Like iGoogle Page Flakes is a portal page that allows you to layout the page and customize it with the feeds that are important to you. There are a lot to chose from and you can even integrate Page Flakes with your Gmail account. I have categories for Apple products, New York Jets and my local weather. It loads quickly and there are a lot of themes to customize the look the feel. Read More...

iGoogle & Mail Plane

04/01/08 13:18

I keep asking myself why Google stock is going to Pluto but when I see what they have done with iGoogle, and gMail I begin to understand that perhaps Google understands more about the way people use their Mac's than anyone else. There are some new options for Google including iGoogle, which allows you to design a portal page with a variety of widgets, gMail is now becoming more mainstream and for Mac users there is Mail Plane which allows you to utilize all the features of gmail without having to launch your browser.
