  •  RSS Tool Vendors
    Blog about RSS aggregators, feed generators and manipulators (mixers, filtering services, converters), OPML and about blog search engines. Home of the RSS Tool Vendor News browser.

  •  Google AJAX Search—Experimental Blog
    I set up this TypePad blog in September 2006 to experiment with the then hardly announced Google AJAX Search API. Read how I conquered implementing this advanced technology on a TypePad blog, using Advanced Templates.

  •  CleverClogs
    This is my main outlet where I post stuff about projects that I'm involved in. I'm mostly interested in desktop alert systems, in RSS manipulation techniques and in advanced blog search techniques. Some projects get so elaborate that I devote a separate blog to them.

CAD (Creative ActiveWords Design) specialist blogs his heart out

Check out Robin Capper's multi-installment report of his unguided initiation into the beauties of using ActiveWords. To my surprise Robin Capper is actually a CAD specialist by profession. I really wouldn't expect him to trade his mouse for a keyboard, but apparently Robin finds ActiveWords 'life-changing' and has already designed numerous scripts for his daily tasks.
If this series of articles isn't a reason to pick up blogging about ActiveWords, then what would be?
Glad to be back.

Fuzzy Ads

I just came across this fairly recent review of ActiveWords in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
JS Online: Keyboard program breaks Windows barrier
It's a positive review, but now look closely at the supposedly context sensitive advertisement to the right: what product is it referring to again?

Keyboard program breaks Windows barrier

That's what I'd call a fuzzy match!

Two-fold Boost

The WebRing and my self-esteem got a boost today. Three experienced ActiveWords users were added to the WebRing.

Please take the time to join too.

Soliciting and organizing all this does take quite a bit of my time (my cute 3yr-old fully understands this and compensated today by cutting her own hair short - I mean really short). In the mean time I'm gathering feedback on the wordbase for blogging tools. I'll probably focus on TypePad first.

Growing

Look, quick, my youngest 'baby' is growing!
Will you come by and feed it?


AWesome Scripting!

P.S. Please direct your questions about any of my blog topics to me, not to the ActiveWords support guys. There are plenty of options to talk back either here or by replying to the forum topic on the AWesome Blog Support section of the ActiveWords Community forum. Thanks!]

Advanced Editing

The basic ActiveWords editor will feel like driving a three-wheeled car once you get your hands on the Advanced Editor super charger. The steps in my previous post Grouping your Active Words are easier to follow if you turn the Advanced Editor on. By default this setting is turned off. Read the instructions and hit the road!
