KompoZer: A Mozilla-based web page creation tool

KompoZer
Need a good web page authoring tool but don't feel like pulling out the pocket book? Up until recently we would have recommended the excellent free application Nvu. But development on the open source tool has been pretty much stagnant.

Enter KompoZer, a new web page creator based on Nvu's code. The only reason the application has a new name is because it has a new developer and the Nvu name was trademarked by Linspire and the original developer.

So what can KompoZer do?
  • A WYSIWYG editor, much like DreamWeaver
  • Built on Gecko, Mozilla's layout engine
  • Integrated FTP file management
  • Jump between WYSIWYG editor and HTML tabs
  • Support for forms, tables, and templates
  • Linux, Windows, and Mac support
Version 0.7.10 looks an awful lot like Nvu, but with the addition of undo and redo buttons.

The included apps are Firefox (web browser), Thunderbird (e-mail client), OpenOffice.org (office suite), AbiWord (word processor), NVU (web site editor), Sunbird (calendar and tasks manager), FileZilla (FTP client), and Gaim (IM).  The suite comes in two flavors: Standard, which includes all of the above and fits on a 256MB drive, and Light, which omits OpenOffice.org and fits in 128MB. Brilliant.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
