				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trying to find the best platform to run your blog or website on is not always an easy choice.  You can pay a web designer several thousands of dollars to create a customized website built with everything that you want or need.  Or you can just use the WordPress platform to create a customized website at just a fraction of the price.  You can even find free WordPress themes online that may suit your needs!</p>
<p>CMS stands for content management system and WordPress may be the best open source CMS out there.  This means that you can download the platform for free and use it for all of your website needs.</p>
<p>WordPress allows you the ability to be able to publish content at the click of a button.  On a normal website you would have to enter your text into the right code slots and use proper HTML coding to get it to display properly.  With WordPress all you have to do is enter the text, edit it using the easy to use text editor, and then simply publish the content.</p>
<p>The WordPress platform also comes with easy to install, one button installation of other themes, plug-ins and widgets to help you customize it even more.  You will also be able to update your WordPress platform with the touch of a button when they release the newest WordPress versions.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the advantages that really make the WordPress platform stand out and why you should consider using WordPress for your next website or blog.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Content management systems or CMS for short are perfect for businesses or individuals to have their own website.  These systems were created to make it easy for people to be able to create and publish their own websites, blogs, forums, etc, and display them to the public.  The best open source content management system for you will depend on what type of functions you need and what you want it to look like.  Here is a rundown of a few of the best.</p>
<p><strong>WordPress:</strong></p>
<p>WordPress is the one I prefer and maybe the most popular choice to date.  The WordPress platform was first started as a blog but can really be designed and created to look like whatever you want.  WordPress gives you widget options on the sidebar, footer and header and will also let you customize just about anything.</p>
<p><strong>Drupal:</strong></p>
<p>Drupal is largely growing to be one of the most used open source content management systems online.  The source code is written in PHP and can be used for individual blogs as well as large, complex looking corporate websites.</p>
<p><strong>Joomla:</strong></p>
<p>Joomla is also written in PHP code and uses the MySQL database systems much like WordPress.  It works great for portfolio type websites as well as personal blogs, polling pages, news pages and search.  It is one of the best systems for publishing content whether it be video, pictures or just words.</p>
<p>This is just a brief look into what I consider to be the best open source content management system around today.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blogging has become very popular over the past few years. It’s a great way to communicate useful information and allows you to stay up to date.  </p>
<p>Let’s review some of the key Free blogging platforms and what makes them popular.</p>
<p>1. One of the most popular blogging platforms is called Blogger. It is owned by Google and offers the user a very easy to create and manage a blog through a web based interface.  </p>
<p>You can set up a blog with this platform literally in a few minutes, and they look great.</p>
<p>Since Blogger is owned by Google, it is fairly easy to get your blog optimized so that it achieves good ranking by this search engine. For people who want to effectively promote their blogs, this is a great benefit.</p>
<p>2. Another free web based blogging platform is called Tumblr. It creates nice blogs, but is also designed to interface almost directly with Twitter.  </p>
<p>This style of blogging requires shorter postings which fit well with micro blogging.</p>
<p>3. WordPress is also a very popular open source blogging platform. It is designed to run on your own domain.  </p>
<p>This is desireable for people who want more control over their blogs and the ability to tie it to specific kinds of domain names.</p>
<p>There are also many addons which have been developed for WordPress which allows the user to develop highly customized and effective blogs. </p>
<p>You can develop customized blogs for a very wide variety of purposes and they look like they were designed by a high priced professional web designer.</p>
<p>WordPress is also very compatible with Google. When used effectively this can achieve very high ranking results.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ActiveState Komodo is the name given to a family of integrated development environment (IDE) applications produced by software firm ActiveState.</p>
<h2>Komodo IDE</h2>
<p>Komodo IDE is an IDE for dynamic programming languages built on the Mozilla platform. It supports dynamic languages, including JavaScript, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl; framework stacks like Ruby on Rails and CakePHP; and client libraries such as the Yahoo! UI Library and Dojo.</p>
<p>ActiveState added browser-side support in Komodo IDE 4.0, including debugging, DOM viewer, catalog support, HTTP Inspector, and code intelligence for languages such as JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and XML, enabling programmers to edit and debug Ajax code and multi-language files.</p>
<p>Komodo IDE, although not Open Source, is extensible using standard Mozilla APIs based on XUL, XBL, and XPCOM, plus Python and JavaScript.</p>
<p>Komodo IDE is available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows platforms.</p>
<h2>Komodo Edit</h2>
<p>Komodo Edit is a free text editor for dynamic programming languages introduced in January 2007. With the release of version 4.3, Komodo Edit is built on top of the Open Komodo project.</p>
<p>Komodo Edit inherits many features of Komodo IDE, like the full range of supported languages (Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl) and platforms (Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows ). And like Komodo IDE, Komodo Edit also supports browser-side languages like JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and XML.</p>
<p>It was developed for programmers who need a multi-language editor with broad functionality, but not the features of an IDE, like debugging, DOM viewer, interactive shells, and source code control integration.</p>
<h2>Open Komodo</h2>
<p>In late 2007, ActiveState announced that Komodo Edit would be developed as a free software project. The new project is known as Open Komodo. In March 2008, ActiveState released the first version of Komodo Edit (4.3) built on top of the open source project. The Windows version will run under Windows XP, 2000 or Vista.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aptana, Inc. is a company making web application development tools for Web 2.0 and Ajax for use with programming languages such as JavaScript, Ruby, PHP and Python. Aptana&#8217;s main products are Aptana Studio, Aptana Cloud and Aptana Jaxer. Current company leadership is Paul Colton, Founder and CEO, Uri Sarid, CTO/VP, Engineering and Kevin Hakman, Director of Evangelism; total staff passed 25 after Labor Day 2008. Aptana is an active participant in the OpenAjax Alliance, with Hakman serving as director of the IDE Working Group.</p>
<p>Aptana Studio is an open source integrated development environment (IDE) for building Ajax web applications. It includes support for JavaScript, HTML, DOM, and CSS with code-completion, outlining, JavaScript debugging, error and warning notification and integrated documentation. Additional plugins allow Aptana Studio to be extended to support Ruby on Rails, PHP, Python, Perl, Adobe AIR, Apple iPhone and Nokia WRT (Web Runtime).</p>
<p>Aptana Cloud Connect is Aptana&#8217;s web hosting and application management service. Cloud Connect provides the infrastructure required to host applications developed using technologies supported by Aptana Studio and is primarily based on Apache, with support for general web/Ajax, PHP, Ruby on Rails and Jaxer. Cloud Connect also supports Java-based web applications which may be deployed and managed using the Cloud service. All applications hosted on Cloud Connect may be developed offline and deployed and managed directly using the Cloud management features included in Aptana Studio. The Cloud Connect service also provides team management, hosted source control (using Subversion), remote editing/preview and application synchronization between local, staging and production environments.</p>
<p>Aptana Jaxer is an open source Ajax web server for building rich web pages and applications using a unified Ajax model wherein both client-side and server-side code can be written in JavaScript. Jaxer&#8217;s server-side engine is based on Mozilla Gecko, the same browser engine that is used in the Firefox browser. The Mozilla engine allows Jaxer to provide a server-side DOM in which a page may be manipulated during server-side processing using the techniques familiar to client-side programmers. Jaxer&#8217;s server-side JavaScript APIs enable database access, file system access, network communications, user sessions, and other functions typical of web application servers. Jaxer also provides for access to Java objects via the open source DWR project.</p>
<p>As of November 2009 Aptana has significantly scaled back development and support of Jaxer. An Aptana representative noted that &#8220;there hasn&#8217;t been sufficient adoption to make it a money earning proposition.&#8221;</p>
<h2>Aptana Studio</h2>
<p>Aptana Studio is based on Eclipse and is available as standalone on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS and Linux, or as a plugin for Eclipse.</p>
<h3>System requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>Windows &#8211; 512 MB RAM, Pentium 4-level processor</li>
<li>Mac OS &#8211; 512 MB RAM, PowerPC G4/G5, Intel or Mac OS X 10.4+</li>
<li>Linux &#8211; 512 MB RAM, Pentium 4-level processor</li>
</ul>
<h3>Editions</h3>
<p>Aptana Studio is available as an open source Community Edition. The previously available features into the paid-for Pro Edition were merged into the Community Edition. All of the features in Pro are now part of the standard Community Edition of Studio, thus Aptana ceased to exist as multiple editions IDE.</p>
<h3>Ajax Library Support</h3>
<p>Aptana Studio ships with the following Ajax libraries, but more can be added or updated.</p>
<ul>
<li>Adobe Spry</li>
<li>Ext</li>
<li>Aflax</li>
<li>Rico</li>
<li>Prototype</li>
<li>Mochikit</li>
<li>Yahoo! UI Library</li>
<li>Mootools</li>
<li>Dojo toolkit</li>
<li>jQuery</li>
<li>Script.aculo.us</li>
</ul>
<h3>PHP</h3>
<p>As of version 2.0, Aptana no longer provides its own php plugin, but has transferred development efforts to the PDT project.</p>
<p>Aptana version 1.5 provides support for developing PHP applications via the add-on PHP plugin. This includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>built-in PHP server for previewing within Aptana Studio,</li>
<li>full code assist, code outlining &amp; code formatting,</li>
<li>integrated PHP debugger,</li>
<li>built in Smarty,</li>
<li>type hierarchy view,</li>
<li>go to declaration,</li>
<li>integrated PHP manual (online or local).</li>
</ul>
<h3>RadRails</h3>
<p>Aptana Studio supports Ruby on Rails development using RadRails, an open source plugin for the Ruby on Rails framework. This includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>integrated Rails shell console,</li>
<li>default-install and config of Ruby interpreter, database and debugger,</li>
<li>code completion with type inferencing,</li>
<li>Code Assist for Ruby, CSS, JS, and HTML inside RHTML files,</li>
<li>type hierarchy view,</li>
<li>go to declaration,</li>
<li>call hierarchy,</li>
<li>full implementation of RDT (Eclipse&#8217;s Ruby Development Tools project).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Python</h3>
<p>Aptana Studio provides support for Python in the form of the PyDev plugin. This provides color syntax hilighting, Code Assist, code outlining, debugging and integrated support for Python and Jython interpreters. Aptana announced that their previously commercial available Pydev Extensions are now open sourced.</p>
<h3>Adobe AIR Support</h3>
<p>Aptana IDE provides some support for Adobe AIR.</p>
<h3>Nokia WRT</h3>
<p>The Nokia WRT (Web Runtime) plug-in provides support for developing rich mobile apps for Nokia S60 series phones. This includes over 30 models and tens of millions of units around the world. The Nokia WRT Plug-in for Aptana Studio provides features that enable the creation, editing, testing, and deployment of WRT widgets from within Aptana Studio.</p>
<p>The diagram below shows Nokia WRT development with Aptana Studio. The plug-in includes built-in support for the Nokia Platform Service APIs.</p>
<p>WRT widgets are small, task-focused web applications that are installed and run in the same way as other S60 applications. WRT widgets allow websites or web services to be optimised for use on S60 devices. Because they’re easy to develop and use, WRT widgets are ideal for driving traffic to your website from S60 devices.</p>
<h3>Code Assist</h3>
<p>Code Assist is similar to completing code statements, by presenting a pop-up with either:</p>
<ul>
<li>the supported arguments for the function call begin coded;</li>
<li>the supported properties and methods on the desired object.</li>
</ul>
<p>This applies both to built-in functions / methods and to those already coded — but the latter use requires documenting such functions/methods with ScriptDoc, a documentation dialect similar to that used by Javadoc.</p>
<h3>Browser support</h3>
<p>The Code Assist feature includes information on browser support for JavaScript methods/properties, HTML elements and CSS properties.</p>
<h3>FTP/SFTP</h3>
<p>Support for uploading downloading and synchronization using FTP and SFTP.</p>
<h3>Debugger</h3>
<p>Both Pro and Community editions support integrated JavaScript debugging for the Firefox browser. Internet Explorer is supported in the Pro Edition only.</p>
<h3>License</h3>
<p>Aptana uses a &#8220;dual licensing&#8221; model. Under this model, users may choose to use the Aptana IDE under the free software/open source GNU General Public License (commonly known as the &#8220;GPL&#8221;) or under the Aptana Public License (known as the &#8220;APL&#8221;).</p>
<p>With the GPL license, the Aptana IDE is available free of charge, as long as the redistribution (if any) of the Aptana IDE adheres to the terms of the GPL license. Users may download the software for free, and modify, integrate and distribute it.</p>
<p>Aptana also offers the simplified APL license for organizations that don&#8217;t need to redistribute Aptana Studio or its derivatives outside of the company.</p>
<h3>License history</h3>
<ul>
<li>When launched in 2006, Aptana was released under the Eclipse Public License 1.0. They were using the EPL until milestone 8. The first few builds of milestone 9 were licensed under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 until nightly build 16120.</li>
<li>One nightly build of milestone 9 was licensed under the GNU General Public License 3.0 (build 16204)</li>
<li>Builds after 16204 have been licensed as Freeware with redistribution restrictions licensed under the Aptana Public License, v1.0.</li>
<li>On September 21 2007, Aptana announced they would be using a dual license: GPL V3 and the freeware APL.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Aptana Jaxer</h2>
<p>Aptana Jaxer provides a page-processing environment based on the Mozilla engine. This provides a Gecko-based DOM and SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine to enable pages to be rendered and manipulated on the server before being sent to the browser. Jaxer also provides an Ajax model for performing asynchronous requests to the server. Its client and server APIs allow such requests to be made by simply calling server-side JavaScript functions from the client. Behind the scenes, Jaxer provides the logic required to manage the request and retrieve the response from the server.</p>
<p>Jaxer is not a standalone web server but works with another server such as Apache, Jetty or Tomcat. Jaxer provides server-side DOM and API processing for pages served by the web server before delivering the results to the browser.</p>
<p>Jaxer may be integrated into Aptana Studio via an optional plugin. It is open source (GPL) and available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux/Solaris.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arachnophilia is a popular source code editor written in Java by Paul Lutus. It is known to be a successor to another HTML editor WebThing. The program is licensed as a Careware type of software. The program&#8217;s name comes from the term meaning &#8220;love of spiders&#8221;, a metaphor for the task of building on the World Wide Web.</p>
<h2>History</h2>
<p>Once written as a Windows application, the program was rewritten by Lutus in Java as part of his boycott against Microsoft and its product activation features for Windows XP products. To work, Arachnophilia requires the Java 2 runtime environment, release 1.4 or later installed.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<p>The program can import and convert to HTML various RTF documents, tables and outlines from any Windows 95 (and above) compliant application. It supports up to six web browsers, CGI, frames and other languages beside HTML, for instance PHP, Perl, C++, Java, and JavaScript development.</p>
<p>Other features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>multiple-document interface</li>
<li>user-customizable toolbars</li>
<li>full drag and drop support</li>
<li>global search and replace</li>
<li>built-in FTP client</li>
<li>automatic uploading of files</li>
<li>user-defined templates</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>EmEditor is a lightweight, but extensible, commercial text editor for Microsoft Windows. It is developed by Yutaka Emura of Emurasoft, Inc. Although designed for Windows XP, the program is also certified for use with Windows Vista. Available editions of the program include the 32-bit edition and the 64-bit edition, and the program also includes a portability option to set up a removable drive, such as a USB drive, through an Import and Export Wizard. Feature-wise, the program includes unicode and large file support, a tabbed window design, and is extensible via plugins and scripts (macros), many of which have been written by the users.</p>
<h2>Unicode support</h2>
<p>From the beginning, the program was designed to support Unicode. The author states that &#8220;EmEditor supports Unicode natively, and in fact, the whole program is built as a Unicode application.&#8221; EmEditor also provides tools for work with various text encodings: automatic encoding detection, Byte Order Mark support, file reload with a different encoding, detection of encoding errors. The program opens a file with any encoding supported in the Windows system, and easily converts from one encoding to another. The program opens Unicode file names and searches for Unicode characters. Within EmEditor, the ability to open and edit files as Unicode makes it the preferred encoding method for multiple language support because it can display multiple languages at the same time.</p>
<h2>Plug-ins</h2>
<p>EmEditor is extensible via plug-ins written in C/C++. Many features commonly found in text editors, such as Spell Check, Code Folding, and Auto-Complete, are implemented as plug-ins instead of being built in. The editor&#8217;s API is available, so that users can write their own plug-ins.</p>
<p>There are 12 plug-ins built into the EmEditor Professional program:</p>
<ul>
<li>Diff Plug-in: compares two open documents.</li>
<li>Explorer Plug-in: shows a custom bar with a tree menu to open documents from the tree.</li>
<li>FindBar Plug-in: searches documents from within the toolbar.</li>
<li>HTMLBar Plug-in: shows a toolbar to insert HTML tags and elements.</li>
<li>Open Documents Plug-in: shows a custom bar to open documents.</li>
<li>Outline Plug-in: shows outlining of a document in a custom bar and/or in the document.</li>
<li>Projects Plug-in: shows a custom bar with a tree menu to navigate file systems and do operations against files.</li>
<li>Search Plug-in: shows a custom bar to search for strings.</li>
<li>Snippets Plug-in: inserts words and phrases quickly.</li>
<li>Web Preview Plug-in: shows an embedded web browser to preview the document as it would appear on the web.</li>
<li>Word Complete Plug-in: suggests completed words when typing.</li>
<li>Word Count Plug-in: counts the number or words in a document or selection of text.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are many other additional plug-ins available for download in the Library section of the EmEditor website, such as CSE HTML Validator Plug-in, Align Left Plug-in, and ColorPicker Plug-in.</p>
<p>Besides plug-ins available for the 32-bit edition, there are also plug-ins available for the 64-bit edition.</p>
<h2>Scripting macros</h2>
<p>The program is scriptable. The scripting engine is based on the Windows Script Host (WSH). Individual EmEditor scripts (macros) are stored as separate text files. Simple scripts can be created with a macro recording utility. By default, the program&#8217;s scripts are written in either JavaScript (more precisely, JScript) or in VBScript. In general, the program can be scripted in any scripting language that supports Active Scripting, including Python, Ruby, Perl, and PHP. For instance, the user can write EmEditor scripts in Python after installing the official Python distribution from <a href="http://www.python.org">www.python.org</a> and also Python for Windows Extensions.</p>
<p>The program includes powerful macros. Macros can be written to do almost anything in the program . The program can write macros using any ActiveScript language that is supported by the program. Macros can be defined to record keystrokes and mouse operations. Macros can be assigned to keyboard buttons and toolbar buttons. All defined My Macros are displayed in a macro toolbar. Macros also have a drop down menu in EmEditor with commands such as start, stop and run for the macros. Designed to run independently of the EmEditor program, macros in the program are implemented as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. To conserve system resources, the Dynamic Link Library is only loaded during macro execution.</p>
<h2>Large file support</h2>
<p>The program can open huge files (up to 248 GB or 2.1 billion lines) with only a little memory. The program uses temporary files for the opening process, to consume only a little memory. When opening a file larger than 248 GB, the program uses a large file controller to monitor the file being opened. The controller specifies the start point, end point, and range of the file. Within the Large File Controller, clicking the Stop button stops the opening process. The unit can be changed between bytes and terabytes.</p>
<h2>Tabbed window design</h2>
<p>The program includes a tabbed window design. Like tabbed browser applications, EmEditor uses tabbed windows to allow a user to switch between opened documents easily, as well as open many documents easily. A user can drag and drop tab icons to switch document positions or press the mouse middle button to close the tab. The Enable Tabs command on the Window menu allows a user to switch between single and multiple window interface. A user can right-click on the tabs and adjust the way that the tabs are arranged. The tabs can be arranged by Name, Type, Modified, Active, Ascending Order, Descending Order, or Auto Arranged.</p>
<h2>Snippets</h2>
<p>The Snippets plug-in is installed by default with EmEditor Professional. This plug-in allows you to insert words and phrases quickly. A snippet is a piece of text that you insert into your document and may contain plain text, placeholders, shell code, a macro, or regular expressions to transform text and various built-in and user-defined parameters. In the Snippets plug-in, you can create two types of items &#8211; snippets and macros.</p>
<h2>Awards</h2>
<ul>
<li>EmEditor 6.00.2 was awarded a 5/5 cows Editor&#8217;s Rating on tucows.</li>
<li>EmEditor won the Shareware Industry Award for 2008 in the Best Applications category.</li>
<li>The recently released EmEditor 8.00 was awarded a 5/5 stars Editor&#8217;s Rating on CNET&#8217;s Download.com on November 18, 2008.</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smultron is an open source text editor for Mac OS X that is designed for both beginners and advanced users. It is written in Objective-C using the Cocoa API. It is able to edit and save many different file types, and has syntax highlighting support for many popular programming languages including C, C++, LISP, Java, Python, Ruby, HTML, XML, CSS, Prolog and D. It is released to the public as free software under an Apache License.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<p>Although primarily noted for its breadth of syntax highlighting and text encoding support, Smultron is also noted for its different approach towards column view and multiple tabbing. It can be helpful in the quick creation of websites, and allows the user to utilize and customize shortcuts for other quick coding implementations, and tidy file organization. It includes other features such as split file view, line wrapping, live find/incremental search, a command line utility, line numbers, and an HTML preview. It also makes use of code snippets and hidden preferences that can be modified. There is localization support for Swedish, Chinese (simplified and traditional), English, Czech, French, Hungarian, Finnish, German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish.</p>
<h2>History</h2>
<p>Created and developed by Swedish programmer Peter Borg. It was first seen registered on Sourceforge in May 2004, and has received much support and feedback from the Mac open-source community. The name of the application is derived from the common Swedish Woodland Strawberry, hence the application symbol. Lingon, another program developed by Borg, is named after another common Scandinavian berry. As of July 31, 2009, Borg has announced that he will no longer be developing Smultron.</p>
<p>On September 12, 2009, Borg announced a new version 3.6beta1 to fix bugs introduced with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. He also said he would not be releasing &#8220;any more versions for the foreseeable future.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>E Text Editor is a text editor for Microsoft Windows. Its notable features include a personal revision control system; branched, multi-level, graphical undo; and the ability to run TextMate bundles through the use of Cygwin.</p>
<p>A Linux version is planned.</p>
<h2>TextMate Bundle Support</h2>
<p>A prominent element of the promotion and marketing of e is its ability to run many TextMate bundles directly from the MacroMates CVS repository. Because most bundle commands rely on Unix commands not typically available on Windows, e uses the Cygwin toolset. Bundle commands can therefore use Bash, Unix command line tools, or scripting languages like Ruby or Python. As of v1.1.121 beta e bundle commands can be set to use the native Windows environment. This allows bundle commands access to non-Cygwin interpreters.</p>
<p>A key limitation is the use by many bundles of Mac OS specific commands or applications. These bundles often need porting ranging from minor changes to significant rewriting. Bundles which require Windows-specific changes can be saved in the bundle editor as Windows Cygwin or Windows native. Because bundle commands use the same plist XML format as TextMate, these Windows-specific changes are put in their own sections. This, in theory, allows the e community to contribute back changes to the central MacroMates repository.</p>
<p>Some bundles are included with the e&#8217;s base distributions. Additional bundle ports are available under the MIT License from the e Bundles Project.</p>
<p>e also supports text editing via FTP in the form of a plug-in called Remote Projects.</p>
<h2>Open source spinoffs</h2>
<p>e has also spawned an open source project called wxCocoaDialog. wxCocoaDialog is a Windows port of the Mac OS X CocoaDialog application. wxCocoaDialog provides a set of common GUI controls such as text input, progress bars, yes/no confirmations and more from within a command-line application.</p>
<p>wxCocoaDialog requires no knowledge of the underlying WxWidgets graphics toolkit. Many bundle commands in e and TextMate use (wx)CocoaDialog controls.</p>
<h2>Source Release</h2>
<p>On March 24th, 2009 Alexander Stigsen, the creator of E Text Editor, released the source code of the software under a non-open source license he calls the &#8220;Open Company License&#8221;. The license contains the normal clauses of a BSD-style license with an additional clause requiring that any derivatives must also include the licensing code which requires users to pay Stigsen for the software. Stigsen also indicated that while the Windows version would continue to be pay software, the Linux version would be licensed for free.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Redirected from HomeSite)</p>
<p>HomeSite was an HTML editor owned by Adobe Systems (formerly owned by Allaire and Macromedia). Unlike WYSIWYG HTML editors such as FrontPage, HomeSite (just like Dreamweaver) was designed for direct editing, or &#8220;hand coding,&#8221; of HTML and other website languages. It was available for the Windows platform.</p>
<h2>History</h2>
<p>It was originally developed in Borland Delphi in 1995 by Bradbury Software (founded by Nick Bradbury), featuring icons that he stole from Sausage Software&#8217;s HotDog editor. In fact, many of the ideas were also taken from HotDog, Bradbury himself admitting that he wrote HomeSite after using HotDog and being frustrated with it. In March 1997 Allaire Corp. from Cambridge, Massachusetts (founded by brothers Jeremy and J.J. Allaire) acquired HomeSite and Nick Bradbury joined Allaire. After leaving Allaire in 1998, Nick went on to work on the CSS/xHTML editor TopStyle and the RSS reader FeedDemon. Macromedia acquired Allaire in 2001 and was in turn acquired by Adobe in 2005.</p>
<p>At Allaire, a version of HomeSite was created as an IDE for ColdFusion, selling as ColdFusion Studio. This version was later merged into Coldfusion MX under Macromedia, where it is now called HomeSite+. Development of HomeSite continued in parallel and the standalone HomeSite is still sold separately, whereas HomeSite+ is not.</p>
<p>In the days that HomeSite was under Nick Bradbury, and then part of Allaire, it had an enthusiastic following from its user community. While many software companies at the time had WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) website creation tools where the user never saw the code, Nick Bradbury created a product that was code centric and popular with those that preferred to work directly in the code, a concept that was dubbed &#8220;What You See Is What You Need.&#8221; Further he built in a variety of ways that users could customize the user interface and extend the functionality. Allaire kept this concept going as its target market of ColdFusion users were code-centric as well. Allaire developers expanded upon Nick&#8217;s original HomeSite capabilities by adding features like built-in scripting, improved syntax coloring, and VTML for tag insight and tag editors.</p>
<p>Nick Bradbury and then Allaire had a policy of having an open support forum for those interested in its products, both current customers and prospects. The fans of HomeSite would contribute to the development of the product by making suggestions on-line and refining those suggestions amongst themselves. The Allaire developers would join in the discussion, participating and really incorporating user suggestions. Allaire used the open forum idea for beta programs as well. Allaire used HomeSite as a relative mass-market product, keeping the price at $99 and using widespread distribution. The idea was to get as many web developers using it as possible and then introducing them to ColdFusion. Allaire drove the HomeSite user community from 25,000 in 1997 to over 400,000 in 2001. The focus was on building the community, not revenue. Users responded to that respect and love for the tool by supporting each other and by creating and sharing a wide variety of HomeSite extensions.</p>
<p>Macromedia licensed a copy of HomeSite to include in Dreamweaver 1.0 when it first shipped. This OEM deal started the relationship between the companies and eventually led to the acquisition of Allaire by Macromedia in 2001. Macromedia was acquired by Adobe in 2005.</p>
<p>Adobe has announced that HomeSite development has ended effective May 26, 2009.</p>
<h2>Versions</h2>
<ul>
<li>Homesite 1.x (September 1996)</li>
<li>Allaire Homesite 2.0</li>

<li>Macromedia HomeSite 5.2 (January 2003)</li>
<li>Macromedia HomeSite 5.5 (September 2003)</li>
</ul>
<p>There was also another version called HomeSite+ which was included in Dreamweaver MX 2004 and greater. HomeSite+ had additional functionality for ColdFusion application development, and was generally comparable to the version of HomeSite formerly called ColdFusion Studio. HomeSite+/CF Studio versions parallel standalone HomeSite versions.</p>
