WiX: Web page creation made simple, Flashy

WiX
WiX is a web site creator that lets anyone design attractive (or not so attractive) web sites. You don't need to know the first thing about HTML or CSS to use WiX, because everything is drag and drop-based.

While WiX might sound a lot like Google Page Creator or Weebly, WiX pages are entirely Flash-based. That means you can use the WiX editor not just to create standalone website, but also Flash objects that you can embed in other web sites. There's even a MySpace tab in the editor in case you want to be one of those people who make ridiculously flash (and Flashy) elements that show up on MySpace pages.

WiX offers a fair number of templates that you can modify, but you can also create web sites and other objects from scratch. When you're finished creating a site you can publish it online, but the URL will start with www.wix.com. You can also generate embed code that will let you include anything you create using WiX on another web site.

Web page maker Weebly adds Google AdSense

Weebly
Want to create a web page but don't know the first thing about HTML or domain registration and hosting? There are plenty of free web services including Google Page Creator, Lycos Webon, and SynthaSite. But Weebly, which we first looked at a few years ago is one of the easiest to use.

Weebly also recently rolled out tools for adding Google AdSense advertisements to a site. While you could always place ads on a page by copying and pasting snippets of HTML and JavaScript, now the process is even easier. All you need to do is drag and drop the Google AdSense box from the toolbar to a spot on your page. Then you can select from a list of ad unit sizes and shapes.

There is a small price to pay -- Weebly will take a hefty 50% cut of any money you earn from advertising on your Weebly site. Or you could, you know, just sign up for an AdSense account and copy and paste your code the old fashioned way.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
