Themes in Gmail
Posted by Abe in Tools / Utilities on November 20, 2008
It was awesome to see Gmail has now got themes. The dry look now has got more energetic. 
Also the themes are supposed to change as per the location to which the themes are set. It is one more wow from Gmail.
However there are some compatibility issues still left with some themes which was found when we activate some gmail addons like moving the chat list to the right and so on. I could also see a horizontal scroll in IE.
Have a look if you are lucky to get them on your email account. Try whether you have themes on your settings section. Have fun!
Trying the Windows Live Writer
Posted by Abe in Tools / Utilities on October 7, 2008
Just had a quick chance to see how the windows live writer works. When I publish and if it works perfectly then I am very much pleased by the work done by the Microsoft Guys on this regard.
Good initiative on creating this Live Writer by M$. It is fairly simple to configure as well for the novice users. The options also very straight forward and clear. It has got options of adding Videos as well to MSN Soap Box and Youtube. This is absolutely cool feature.
Like a regular XHTML editor, it works comfortably. It was really a feel at home experience using Microsoft Word. It also got a spell checker to check the blog which is infact super good.
Tiny MCE – Cool XHTML Editor
Posted by Abe in Tools / Utilities on March 17, 2007
I was astonished to see a cool open source editor Tiny MCE. I have heard about it sometime back. But, was exploring the capabilities of this cool editor. This Tiny MCE supports almost supports all browsers. I came across this editor via http://www.geniisoft.com/showcase.nsf/WebEditors which gave a good comparison of wide range of text editors available online.
Another great thing about this editor is that it is simple to integrate. it Just takes the <textarea> from your html code and creates it as a html editor. Just wondering about the days where these type of editors costs a big mountain. Now it costs nothing. There were lots of features and themes available with this Editor. Most people would need only a simple editor which is really cool. You can check the home page of Tiny MCE Editor on its homepage. http://tinymce.moxiecode.com
