I’ve been thinking of Informator Pro as it works right through the Finder of Mas OS X but their product isn’t Tiger ready yet and the trial downloads don’t work. GRRRR!! Painful and discouraging!

I bought Xylescope yesterday. I’ve been playing with the previous version a bit and its very handy tool for an web developer/ designer on mac. In fact I will go a step further to say it will save you an awful lot of time using Xylescope! Below is a screengrab of one of my gallery pages. On selecting on one of the thumbnail (backlit leaf) you will notice how the hierarchial navigation, HTML view, CSS view and Selector view are all exposed in the one pane!
Having had a bit of a trouble with Apache + PHP configuration and many trials and re-trials I decided to give MAMP a try. I had heard about MAMP a while back but never really thought of trying it until just about half hour back. Everything is up and running in less than a minute. Yes there is truth in that entry.

I have got a little surprise for you all wonderful people. John Allsopp, Maxine Sherrin and I have been talking a bit about Style Master 4 lately. Especially John as I bug him a fair bit with minor changes and CSS nags(ask him ;-). I have been looking forward to the Style Master 4 upgrade and am so excited its here. I would very strongly recommend you go buy a copy if you don’t have one or atleasy try out the demo. Here are a few questions I decided to ask John and I hope you will enjoy reading them as much as I did.

TeamSite is a CMS produced by Interwoven Inc. And an approximate listing says about 1000 clients across the globe use it for pushing content both within the local Intranets and different extranets worldwide. Most sites that talk about Content Management process and architecture like CMSwatch.com, www.cmsmatrix.org and Oscom hold TeamSite in high esteem.

But my view about TeamSite changed since David, Ruth and I started working on building a Template for a website.
I had downloaded a copy of CSSEdit software last night and been playing with it a bit. I do like their site — Macrabbit.com. Clean and crisp! But what made me LMAO was the nagscreen. Here is a screengrab! Enjoy. Jan, it works!!
