Download it now and see all the snazzy new features.<br />
<br />
<br />
From the Wordpress blog:<br />
<blockquote><i>"WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard). Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies. (Twenty Ten theme shows all of that off.) Developers and network admins will appreciate the long-awaited merge of MU and WordPress, creating the new multi-site functionality which makes it possible to run one blog or ten million from the same installation. As a user, you will love the new lighter interface, the contextual help on every screen, the 1,217 bug fixes and feature enhancements, bulk updates so you can upgrade 15 plugins at once with a single click, and blah blah blah just watch the video. (In HD, if you can, so you can catch the Easter eggs.)"</i></blockquote><br />

<br />
So it is no surprise that I use a Mac piece of software to upload to my web server. <br />
<br />

<br />
Transit has just released version 4.0 which is very slick. <a href="http://panic.com/transmit/">Download a copy</a> for yourself to try out.<br />
<br />
For me I find a combination of <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/2010/06/web-editors-for-mac-os-x-taco.html">Taco</a> & Transit is all I need to get the job done. But Panic have their own web editing software that you might want to have a look at while you are over at the Panic website. It's called <i>Coda</i>.<br />

It really depends on how you work as a Web Designer. If you are familiar with html & css and perhaps even php then you'll most likely want to avoid those bloated web editing software packages with all the flashy front ends that are placed between you and the code. These web editing programs often add extra code that you don't necessarily want or need.<br />
<br />
This is why most tecky web designers (is there really any other sort?) prefer to edit the code directly. There is TextEdit, basically the same as Notepad on Windows. Add the power of TextExpander and you have a powerful web editor.<br />
<br />
<b>Taco</b><br />
But my favourite web editor is Taco. It has a live edit window so you can preview the results as you code. The Component Library allows you to select one of 22 components, which can be customised. It has code colouring, so you can see at a glance what code is what, a companant library, code clips, and more. <br />

<br />
Go to <a href="http://tacosw.com/htmledit/">the site,</a> have a read, and download a demo version to try it out for yourself. It's only $25.<br />

In the last post we saw how you can <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/2010/02/your-favourite-icon.html">generate your own Favicon</a>, in an earlier post we saw where you can find icons with <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-can-icon.html">Icon Finder</a>. <br />
<br />
Well now we have a way of creating <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/search/label/iphone">iPhone</a> styled icons that can also be used for as in iPhone favicon or on your website or anywhere else for that matter. All you have to do is upload your image and a pack of icons are created for you to download.<br />
<br />
Here is one I made earlier:<br />

How do I make one for my website? <br />
<br />
If you have asked one of those questions before then this post is for you. What's a favicon? The word is a combination of two words, "favourite" and "icon". When you save a website to your favourites, this icon is what you see beside the favourited website's name, hence the name, "favicon". <br />
<br />
Depending on the type of browser you are using you can also see them in the address bar. Here is what this blog's favicon looks like in the Firefox browser on a Mac.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center; border: 0px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDEFXSnf6T4XIW31PaJ6gKdl5S2bqAMsH6OTIkrB98yEpuDDJJMn-z2fhvioVQYGQ5Gcbgq455WOtqe25YSPZt-EeLGrjh0Ti81fy88YqmkS_mO_o7LkyZC6CPnxPOxoGdfJqpyQSFr2_l/s1600-h/MaxWeaversDigestFavicon.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDEFXSnf6T4XIW31PaJ6gKdl5S2bqAMsH6OTIkrB98yEpuDDJJMn-z2fhvioVQYGQ5Gcbgq455WOtqe25YSPZt-EeLGrjh0Ti81fy88YqmkS_mO_o7LkyZC6CPnxPOxoGdfJqpyQSFr2_l/s320/MaxWeaversDigestFavicon.png" style="border: 0px"/></a></div><br />
<br />
You can change these to suite your website. For example, you can make your favicon the same as you company logo. <br />
<br />
But how do you create one?<br />
<br />
You'll be pleased to know that there is a free online tool that can create a favicon for you. Just be sure that you start with a square image. Click on the Favicon Maker below:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/"><img alt="Favicon maker- Create a favicon from any image" border="0" src="http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/export/faviconlogo1.jpg" /></a><br />

How do you do this? There is a quick and easy way with a plugin called WPtouch iPhone Theme.<br /><br /><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wptouch/"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; border:0; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 208px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlMCszYj-dZ54Aq6-QBD0nCnYmHTv7nY17zKG9oaFD3w3Oi9Hu9oJUEmIZY_emYCniADAThsgcg6DHWC4qdlrbzRdG4dEp3ZLie4C-KgMaP8puwTfTDqkL009qKyn0s_R_PyzJ1_LJuuel/s400/WPtouch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428283248945691202" /></a><br /><br />All you need to do is install and activate the plugin and when someone with an iPhone or an iPod touch visits your blog it is automatically displayed as depicted in the image above.<br /><br />* Editor's Note: I've just recently bought an iPod Touch (3G) and am really enjoying it.

Recently, Google joined in and announced they have a new free DNS service that is designed to speed up your browsing. But Google's is not ncessarily the fastest so you should try other options as well.<br /><br />So I thought I'd do some test to see how my ISP's DNS settings faired before changing them. Actually, I have to thank Leo Laporte for this tip: Leo suggested trying out NameBench. NameBench will test your current DNS settings against a range of other DNS servers and give you the fastest result as a suggestion. You will have to download the software and install it but it is a small download and easy to install and use. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://code.google.com/p/namebench/"><img style="display:block; border:0; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 223px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7T9J7vYKD9S1SoxpryuhDDDSE22tT9J7TZzJAQR16-y8ROzmrmpDrvGqs3HTo-PkMdWDIpCVAP42xtC0NglbPFKFwrSNUz5msu6Te8Zg9_NIOz4YgruiRjXBsZqb8pvg-JvObT8qDWM_g/s400/namebench.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418666382515827698" /></a><br /><br /><br />* Editor's Note: Changing your DNS settings is simply a matter of copying and pasting and takes a matter of seconds.

Wouldn't it be great if you could repackage it as a book, I mean a real book that can be sold???<br />
<br />
Sounds great doesn't it?<br />
<br />
Well, there is a way, it is possible...with a new service called <strong>Fast Pencil</strong>.<br />
<br />
<em>FastPencil takes the pain out of writing and publishing a book. If we can help you achieve your dreams, we've done our job right.</em><br />
<br />
On their website they describe the service:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
FastPencil is self-publishing with a twist. The traditional publishing process is a daunting one that can take many months of effort and more money than most writers anticipate. It’s no wonder authors get discouraged.<br />
<br />
You shouldn’t have to ask anyone’s permission to write and publish your own book! We have removed the hurdles inherent in traditional publishing by combining amazing advances in print on demand technology with a sophisticated online workflow system.<br />
<br />
While sophisticated technology makes it possible for anyone to publish a high-quality book, our community is what makes FastPencil the easiest, fastest, and most exciting way to write and collaborate. Most writers yearn for feedback while they create. When authors have ready access to a community of friends, readers, and partners, the writing process is richer and more engaging.<br />
<br />
Through a process we call Guided Collaboration, you can bring in new acquaintances and old friends to help you turn your idea into a masterpiece. At any point in the process you can connect with like-minded people, share knowledge, chat, gather feedback from reviewers and editors, and collaborate with other authors, all without leaving FastPencil.</blockquote><br />

<br />
This is what Gina Trapani wrote about it on her blog <a href="http://smarterware.org">Smarterware</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>MSE is a decent utility: it’s a light download which offers real-time (as you save files) protection, and can do a quick, advanced, or custom scan. The interface is simple and it schedules regular scans by default.<br />
<br />
I admit: since my desktop is behind my router’s firewall and I’m super-careful about what I do on it, I haven’t run AV or spyware blocking utilities on my PC in years–without a single problem. Happily MSE gave it a clean bill of health. It didn’t try to upsell me for a paid subscription, and it didn’t report that it quarantined harmless browser cookies (a common red herring that malware cleaners use to make you think they’re saving you). While security experts who make their living selling you this kind of software will tell you not to depend entirely on it, I’ll replace AVG Free on Grandpa’s computer with this this weekend. Kudos to Microsoft for finally offering malware protection at the right price.</blockquote><br />

Almost everyone who develops a website or writes a blog at some point needs to find images to use. Obviously you can't just take any image you find on the web to use on your own website or blog. If you did that you would be breaching copyright and breaking the law. <br /><br />You could search a photo site like Flickr or Picasa for the one you need and then write to the owner and ask them if they wouldn't mind you using their photos. But a much easier way of getting images is to search for photos that have already been OK'd by the owners to be reused. <br /><br />Enter <a href="http://search.creativecommons.org/" rel="nofollow" target="blank">Creative Commons Search</a>. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://search.creativecommons.org/" rel="nofollow" target="blank"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 57px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaNs0gow3eq0No7WU936dTPCLy0eoO74wMkC995K1a87xVySS7NTBEkPry2TjwiR1ZySaZ1CvQRYiVstmDEsq9USH3mgiEzstYA55GwePjZNJHxGafbPwePizm1oXWHmI_Q-kuDjclk263/s400/Picture+5.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394913517945919794" /></a><br /><br />Simply enter a search term, tick the appropriate box, and then click "search images".<br /><br />* Editor's Note: You should always verify that the work you are re-using has a Creative Commmons license attached to it and abide by the conditions of the particular CC license.

It'd be nice if the colour scheme of your new website matched. This tool will extract a range of colour schemes that you can choose from based on the colours sucked out of your photo.<br /><br /><a href="http://colorsuckr.com" target="new" rel="nofollow"><img style="display:block; border:0; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 258px; height: 40px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_peqR8INPWrJBGYhlZJn_7T2aT1Iz4VdatCzOdiHbq6KHJ4seAII52CIokPXjBoMx1B54f37XWkfTDOushYs4keyMjLPNh-LWFSHvu1hco71GLkayl9eZMlUcv9vWO8xQ9SkRHbWYnkwn/s400/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392700382911362466" /></a><br /><br />Here are some tips from the author's website:<br /><br /><blockquote><br />Drag and drop the color results: You can move the color results around the page, click on the color strip, hold and drag, let go to drop. You can also show and hide the color text by clicking the small grey dot next to the strip.<br /><br />Flickr pages: If you enter a Flickr photo page (e.g. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bitterlysweet/33358201/) in the 'Enter image url' box, ColorSuckr will find the main photo.<br /><br />Web pages: If you enter a web page url (e.g. http://abduzeedo.com/) instead of an image, ColorSuckr will scan the page and show you the images on it & you can choose from there.<br /><br />Use color photos: Yes, this sounds silly, but black and white images will only return a few shades of grey.<br /><br />Bookmarklet: Drag and drop this link - Get image colors - into your bookmarks bar or save it to your favourites and make getting colors from web images easy. Next time you are on a webpage with images you'd like to get colors from - just click the bookmark. (Works on images larger than 50px x 50px)<br /><br />Colors that are picked: ColorSuckr chooses the 12 most common colours from an image, so if your image is mostly blue with a splash of pink, chances are the pink won't get picked up.<br /><br />Install the Firefox add-on: Rather than messing about with copying and pasting urls, make it easier to grab colors from images by installing the add-on for Firefox.<br /></blockquote><br /><br />* Editor's Note: The more observant of you would have noticed that I spelled "colour" the proper way, while the original article's author seems a bit confused over how to spell the word, sometimes spelling it "color" and other times "colour".Max Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184760115529787586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409368138672976968.post-4687133656324558682009-10-10T15:09:00.000-07:002009-10-14T23:27:59.742-07:00I Can IconIcons are sometimes thought of like icing on a cake, the cake being your website.<br /><br />They can also serve a very important functional purpose, sending visual information directly to the visitor with a recognisable visual image. Email and RSS are two that appear on almost every site, and more and more these days Twitter, Facebook and all the other social networks.<br /><br />When building a website it is not always easy to find icons to use. Do you just do a web search for icons? Or have you collected a bunch of icons that you've lifted from other people's websites as you find them? <br /><br />Avoid the possible legal and stylistic problems by using this excellent <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/search/label/tools">tool</a>:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.iconfinder.net" rel="nofollow"><img style="border:0; display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 130px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQCZh6qbREwQ5wLoE_7RALBGeBC-cWsVglI8UnIWFwHtRQU8WN6cXD63tbj2-PCe4K8uBLe9r06kYgE7ZnmliZkuECMGLrr6MoJulS26engcdDWhJdX_UXf6tnFcpRfCCz0UoG3Szh1L3P/s320/IconFinder.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391109325907060738" /></a><br /><br /><br />You can type straight into the search field to search for the particular icon you need or you can browse the collections. <br /><br />It's very nicely presented so that you can see how many icons are in each set, a preview of the set, a link to the author's website, and a license telling you how they can be used. Many of these are free for commercial use and some are also licensed under specific Creative Commons license.<br /><br />* Editor's Note: As always, such <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/search/label/tools">useful tools</a> are added to the Weaver's Digest Tool Box on the right panel >>>Max Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184760115529787586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409368138672976968.post-56559620526746988602009-09-29T16:26:00.000-07:002009-09-29T16:32:29.172-07:00Help Save the Net!Did you know the Government is proposing an internet censorship scheme that goes further than any other democracy in the world? That's why I'm one of over 100,000 Australians who have signed the petition to Save the Net. Will you join me?<br /><br />This Friday, our petition will grace the pages of newspapers across the nation. That way the Government, who are due to make a decision any day now, will be left in no doubt as to how deeply unpopular this kind of censorship is in Australia. Can you help me make that petition too large to ignore?<br /><br />http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/AddYourNameSaveTheNet<br /><br />Our Government should be doing all in its power to take Australia into the 21st century economy, and to protect our children. This proposed internet censorship does neither. The plan has even been slammed by children's welfare groups, who say the filter is "fundamentally flawed" and simply will not work.<br /><br />Can you join me and children's welfare groups, internet providers, consumers, engineers, network administrators, and over 100,000 everyday Australians in defence of our freedoms? Let's make sure this Friday's newspaper ads have an impact impact too large to ignore.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" height="250"><param value="http://www.getup.org.au/flash/widget.swf" name="movie"/><param value="high" name="quality"/><embed pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" quality="high" width="300" src="http://www.getup.org.au/flash/widget.swf" height="250" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><br /><br />*Editor's Note: Please also visit <a href="http://www.nocleanfeed.com/" title="No Clean Feed" rel="nofollow">No Clean Feed</a>.Max Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184760115529787586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409368138672976968.post-1539727189814313262009-09-27T21:00:00.000-07:002010-02-28T00:43:22.302-08:00Software AlternativesNot really a web tip but today I have a very useful software tip. Following on from the <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/2009/09/free-download-gimpshop.html">last post about a free alternative to Photoshop</a>, I thought we'd take a look at some other alternatives to popular software packages for Windows, Mac, Linux and online software.<br />
<br />
Rather than give you another great software suggestion, I am going to point you to the motherload that is the website "AlternativeTo". This website is an excellent resource for alternative software.<br />
<br />
From the website:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>AlternativeTo is a new approach to finding good software. Tell us what application you want to replace and we give you suggestions on great alternatives! Instead of listing thousands of more or less crappy applications in a category, we make each application into a category. Think of it like forever evolving blog posts about good alternatives to the software that you're not satisfied with. And the "blog posts" are generated by you through suggestions, comments and votes.</blockquote><br />

GIMPshop is an open source alternative to Photoshop and it is free to download.<br /><br />From the GIMPshop website:<br /><br /><blockquote>GIMPshop is a modification of the free/open source GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), intended to replicate the feel of Adobe Photoshop. Its primary purpose is to make users of Photoshop feel comfortable using GIMP.<br /><br />It shares all GIMP's advantages, including the long feature list and customisability, while addressing some common criticisms regarding the program's interface: GIMPshop modifies the menu structure to closely match Photoshop's, adjusts the program's terminology to match Adobe's, and, in the Windows version, uses a plugin called 'Deweirdifier' to combine the application's numerous windows in a similar manner to the MDI system used by most Windows graphics packages. While GIMPshop does not support Photoshop plugins, all GIMP's own plugins, filters, brushes, etc. remain available. <br /><br />Due to the changes to the interface, many Photoshop tutorials can be followed in GIMPshop unchanged, and most others can be adapted for GIMPshop users with minimal effort.</blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.gimpshop.com/" rel="nofollow">Download GIMPshop</a><br /><br />* Editor's Note: It's one thing to speak like a pirate but there is no need to act like a pirate.

Here is one that will create a nice looking web2.0 button for your website.

If it's just a personal website you could enquire with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) as they often give you a small space for free with your Internet account. <br /><br />There are also free web hosts out there...but often they want to put annoying ads on your website. <br /><br />So eventually, you will want to pay to have your website hosted. There are many web hosts out there and when you are paying for one you want to be sure you have a good one. <br /><br /><br />Often I get asked who to host my website with? <br /><br />The most important factor in my opinion is reliability and support. Many cheap hosts fail on both counts. <br /><br />Here is a good comparison chart of webhosts, breaking down the costs and other factors and comparing them:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.10besthosting2009.com/#1459871271/" rel="nofollow" target="new">10 Best Hosting in 2009</a><br /><br />Looking at the chart you'll see that <a href="http://www.bluehost.com/track/vinblue/CODE1" rel="nofollow">BlueHost</a> comes in pretty on the list.<br /><br /><div align="center"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.bluehost.com/src/js/vinblue/CODE81/300x50/bh_300x50_03.gif"></script></div><br /><br />*Editor's Note: Bluehost is Max's preferred web host.Max Weaverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04184760115529787586noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409368138672976968.post-18924975304845039592009-09-13T22:22:00.000-07:002009-09-13T23:06:59.711-07:00How to Create a Web Page that will Rank Well in the Search EnginesToo often the focus of web weavers is on how to create a web page that looks good or functions well.

<br />
Don't spill your Google Juice!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">I get emails on a regular basis from new websites that would like to exchange links with me. They often start by informing me how I can benefit from such a link exchange. Exchanging links with sites <span style="font-style: italic;">can be</span> effective in getting traffic from the site linking to you but it can also suck out all your<span style="font-style: italic;"> Google Juice.</span><br />
<br />

More important than the number of links though is the quality of those incoming links. Contacting the owners of Web sites that score highly for key phrases related to your content and asking them if they will provide a link back to your site isn’t a bad idea.<br />
<br />
The first thing I do when I get contacted by one of these site owners is check the Page Rank of their website. If their page rank is lower than my own page rank then I know that it will most likely not be beneficial to me to exchange links with them. You could be tricky and add a rel="nofollow" tag after the link, these tags are like plugs that stop your hard earned Google Juice from flowing out of your site and into theirs.<br />
<br />
Content within your own website should also be correctly linked together so that search engine web crawlers can follow links within your own website. If you don’t provide working links to all your pages, some of your content may not get <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/search/label/indexing" title="indexing">indexed</a>….and that’s not good.<br />
<br />
Why pass your <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/search/label/google" title="Google">Google</a> Juice on to others? pass it to pages within your own site instead with effective internal linking.<br />
<br />
* Editor's Note: Contrary to popular belief, Google Juice is not made from freshly squeezed <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/search/label/search%20engines" title="search engines">search engines</a> but is high in vitamin <a href="http://maxweaversdigest.blogspot.com/search/label/pagerank">PR</a>.<br />
