Weebly's easy way to build webpages

Weebly lets you create a website very simply in a few minutes, and the default library contains many different layouts, all ready for you to explore and drag to your own website interface. Weebly is great for the complete novice to create a very decent-looking site without any prior knowledge of how the web works. Many pre-made layouts, that include video from Google, YouTube, YouAreTV video, Flickr, Badgr, AdBrite, RSS feeds, and other layouts, it is easy to put together something fun. Once you pick out your Weebly subdomain, you are good to go and you can display your site. This wouldn't be great for any kind of real web presence, but perhaps mom and dad will get a kick out of it over pie this year. You be the judge.

The project was inspired by the Eclipse download hell post on Simon Willison's Weblog which, a year and a half after its original posting, is still the third result for Google searches for "Eclipse download."

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, ...
