Just because Microsoft no longer makes FrontPage doesn't mean people no longer need a visual way to create websites. On the contrary: Breezi (currently in free Beta) joins the ranks of visual website creation tools alongside Wix, Weebly, Jimdo, and many other tools. Breezi may not be completely unique, but it sure has style.

WYSIWYG Web Builder 8 (or What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) is just that. But just because you don't need to know how to write code, don't think that you'll be able to jump into Web Builder with no knowledge of how Web pages work: You'll be doing some homework, especially to unlock the more advanced features of Web Builder.

There is a wide spectrum of ways to create new websites, starting with solutions that require no coding at all, such as Weebly and WordPress, all the way to coding your website entirely by hand using a text editor like Vim. ExpressionEngine (various pricing, buy-only) is a serious content management system that sits close to Vim on that spectrum, and has a vibrant community of users and developers.

Here is a problem both website designers and owners share: Once a website is created, who has to update its content over time? And how should they do it? The traditional solution for this problem is a CMS, or content management system, such as WordPress (aimed mainly at blogs) or Weebly. MojoMotor is one such content management system, but it prides itself on "doing less" and providing a lightweight interface both for developers and content editors.

This happens to me all the time: I am watching a movie, and the camera zooms in on a computer monitor showing the hero performing some impossible feat of tech wizardry. I find myself thinking, "Come on, things are never this slick in real life." Well, if a movie showed PhpStorm, I would probably be thinking that exact same thought.

It's been about two years and a major release since I last looked at ExamDiff Pro. This differential program inhabits a narrowly defined niche used by programmers, web site coders, and others who need to compare different versions of long, convoluted documents. A differential, or a diff for short, highlights the differences between two documents, both from the 35,000 foot view and down to the line and character level of detail. Typically, such a program compares two files, but more advanced differs are capable of diffing three files at once. Differs usually display the documents under scrutiny tiled next to one another, and highlight differences in lines, whole sections of the document, and even character-by-character differences. ExamDiff Pro is perhaps the most versatile such product available.

Here's a question most of us can probably answer, at least approximately: How many hours do you spend in front of your computer every week? But here's a trickier one: How much of that time do you spend doing productive work, and how much of it do you spend watching cat videos? RescueTime ($9 per month) is an online service that tries to answer this question, and sometimes even succeeds. read more...
