iBlog and iCal and Contribute2 are freebies on dotMac. I'm curious--
Anyone using iBlog, got pages up to view so I can see samples of how folks are using it?
<http://homepage.mac.com.markbenson> then click either 'At Home', 'Sports' or 'Photos'.
iBlog is IMHO a very nice little piece of software. I've been looking for an easy way to keep upping fresh content to my .Mac pages on a daily basis, and it seems like this is very much what i needed. It has neat features like being able insert Pictures directly from your iPhoto Library, resizing them on the fly, and similarly from music from iTunes. It's intuitively laid out, and pretty easy to set up too. I have iCal start it every evening around 9pm when I'm usually sitting around so I get reminded to sit down and blog.
iCal--is it compatible with my Palm? I've been using Palm Desktop on the iMac and iBook because it runs on Palm software and easily goes onto our Palm handhelds. How does iCal compare?
iCal can be sync'd directly to a Palm using the Palm Conduit and iSync (also a .Mac freebie). iCal is very friendly, but some people find it a bit feature light comapred to Entourage, however it's another of Apple's 'does exactly what is says' apps, it keeps a calendar with appointments and reminders and does it very well.
Used in combination with the Address Book (also improved lately) it is a nice combo as they both Sync to any iSync compatible device with ease.
Contribute2--is this finally going to make it possible for me to easily design the website of my dreams and upload it to my dotMac account...or even to my account on my ISP, which has rigid formulas for design?
Contribute2 is *not* free. There is a free trial and some extra Apple flavored templates but the software is offered at a discounted price of $79. As far as I can tell Contribute2 is a cut down version of Dreamweaver, which I use daily and like a lot, however I have never used C2.
