Incredible new software allows you to create your very own custom WordPress blog themes!

This is fantastic. Really. Just watch my feeble video and see if I gave you ANY idea whatsoever as to what you could do with this.

…for what it’s worth

I replaced Windows NotePad a long time ago with something much more versatile and flexible. It’’s been my standard editor for almost 8 years now.

EditPad Pro is a powerful and versatile text editor or word processor, designed to make text editing as convenient as possible. Write and edit all your plain text files such as source code, scripts, web sites, logs, letters, memos, reports, articles, etc.

Edit text documents more comfortably with EditPad Pro’s tabbed layout, live spell checking, column editing, extensive clipboard and block editing abilities, project files, word count and other statistics, text wrapping and unwrapping, opening all files from certain folders, alphabetic sort, bookmarks, character map, etc. Supports all languages, including Far East languages.

Write source code more easily with EditPad Pro’s extensible syntax coloring. Search and replace with regular expressions. Convert between DOS/Windows/UNIX and ANSI/Unicode. Run external tools or scripts. Compare files. Edit binary files in hex mode, etc.

EditPad Pro is extremely configurable, with many options specific to each file type.

There is a trial version available for download at no cost. Try it and see if  your productivity doesn’t increase by leaps and bounds.

In the world of software, things are always changing. Usually it’s for the better. I’d like to tell you abut just such a case.

A few months ago, I came across a new software that tunes and tweaks your computer and the Windows OS (primarily XP and Vista). I made a video about it, which you can watch here.

Now this might not seem like a big deal. There have been software products on the market for years that perform these tasks. I’ve recommended some of them (and still do), such as SpeedUpMyPC and RegistryBooster, for example.

But this program seems to do it all, and so far I haven’t had a single problem with it. You might think that a software that performs so many different functions would present some difficulties, but it installs quickly, works silently, is fast and surprisingly easy. It’s so user friendly that I honestly believe anyone can master it the first time out.

It actually explains what it’s about to do, in plain English, to help prevent any mistakes. It’s also available in multilingual versions.

And now, it’s being made available for up to three PCs on a single license! If you haven’t seen it yet, or if you have and have been putting off trying it, now is the time to act.

Go now to TuneUp Utilities 2009 and download your copy.

I discovered a free program that goes a long way toward keeping my computer running smoothly and cleaning up unnecessary garbage from my system. It’s called CCleaner (the first C stands for Crap!), and I’d like to show you how it works.

In all honesty, I’ve used and recommended a couple of programs for a long time that I actually prefer. For cleaning and optimizing my computer, I’ve always trusted SpeedUpMyPC, and for anything having to do with cleaning my registry, I’ve always used RegistryBooster. Nothing I’ve found makes me feel better about getting the job done.

However, this free program has been gaining notice lately, and I’ve been testing it. It just might fit the needs of many out there, and I’m giving it some press.

Watch the video, and let me know what you think.

I’ve spoken about the importance of defragmenting your computer’s hard drive in previous posts. I’ve recommended a product called Diskeeper twice now, once in a video demo of the Pro version HERE and more recently in a demo of a free version, Diskeeper Lite, HERE.

There are, however, a couple of other pretty darn good, and free, disk defragmentation softwares available that would be remiss if I didn’t bring them to your attention. I have tried both of them, and it’s my opinion that any of the three can help significantly improve your computer’s speed and overall performance. All three are superior to the built-in Windows Defragmenter.

The first is called UltimateDefrag. This video gives a pretty good overview. It’s excellent for a no-cost program. This video actually demonstrates two different defragmenters. The second is one I have NOT tried. Since it involves installation of a screensaver, and works when the mouse is left idle for a period of time, it doesn’t seem like something I would use. But it is another choice, of course.

Another very good defragmenter is by Auslogics. I have used it in the past. It does an admirable job, again for a no-cost program.

Download and install any one, or all three of these programs. Try them and see which best suits your needs. Anyway you look at it, though, defragmenting your hard drive is an essential habit to get into.
