BeerWin and Other Things

I know, I know. I’ve left this blog unattended for quite a while. Truth is, I’ve been working on other websites that I consider more demanding because of the nature of their contents. I have to post something to The Bible Workshop and Your Daily Inspiration because these are the sites that people refer to for work in the Church. Not that webmastering does not hold any importance when ranged against church ministry. On the contrary, it is also ministry and the kind that is behind those two sites mentioned. However, on topics that directly pertain to the work of webmastering — like HTML, web design, techie stuff — there are others offering better content than I do.

Working on Scriptures has not drawn me away entirely from the web-things I’ve been monitoring. Beerwin for example has released WebSuite 2.0. He announced earlier that it would be ready by Christmas, but the guy has anticipated his scheduled release by a number of days. And man, I tell you the work is beautiful, and the screenshot below does no justice to it.

BeerWin’s Websuite 2.0 is your All-In-One web design software. It has PlainHTML6, CSnipper,Auto-Backup and MultiNotepad with a host of other applications (like a CSV viewer and a File Viewer) that anyone who manually designs webpages would appreciate. One added application I was not expecting was the File Viewer. I already have the free Universal Viewer from UVViewSoft and have been using it quite extensively. BeerWin’s addition of the File Viewer in WebSuite 2.0 makes it easier for me to survey and organize my work environment.

PlainHTML is simply wonderful. I use it for formatting my webpages before copying and pasting them into the WordPress blogs I employ in my sites. The control panel is simply a smorgasbord of features designed to help the web designer with his work.

It will probably take me awhile to try out the features of the new WebSuite 2.0. Give me some time to work through it and perhaps I’ll have something decent to say about it. For the moment, I am working with PlainHTML for those articles I have to produce for my students.

Resources for the Aspiring Webmaster

I have just encoded about 100 items of webmaster resources into a database for C-Organizer Pro, CSoftLab’s Personal Information Manager. They accepted it and perhaps will be posting it on their site as a giveaway for their customers. The items in the database I created are weblinks to categories that cover the basic resources for an aspiring web designer and/or webmaster (e.g. web editors, freehosting, fonts, etc.), all of them freeware (with one or two linkware and donationware). It also includes links to some of the better tutorials for HTML, CSS, Javascript available on the web. Needless to say, some of those links point to this website.

I am still in the process of adding more items into the database. It will be available to those who use C-Organizer Pro.

NewsRoom Revival

I am reviving the MGCP NewsRoom that was deleted from the FriHost servers due to inaction. Right now, I am still in the process of setting up the content management system for newsposting and the tutorial site. At the moment there are two or three who have shown their interest in the NewsRoom. We need more if we would like to have fresh news even on a daily basis.

The NewsRoom is found here.
