I use a lot an FTP program for upload and download files to my server, I used CoreFTP Lite that is a free software but I have to start it every time I need it or leaving it open. Well I was surfing the web with Stumble when I see this little program that integrates on Firefox and now I just have to click on a button on my browser and voila! I have a new tab with the FTP integrated.

This program is just 135Kb and its named FireFTP, yo can download it HERE.

Look at the image below (Click on it to see a large image) and you can see inside the red circle the icon of this program and as you can see too I have two tabs opened.

Here you have a list of alternative options to commercial software. Personally I use many of them and believe me if I tell you that some of them are better than commercial ones. For Example, Mozilla Thunderbird is really great to manage all my emails accounts. For programming a great editor is Notepad++, for antivirus one of the best is AVG on its free edition. So give a chance to this great Open Source programs.

I just made a selection of free Wordpress Themes that the only characteristic the have in common is that they are widgets ready. This collection have 2 and 3 column and in many colors.

The complete collection can be downloaded here: File is 9.78 MB. Enjoy it!.

I’m sure most people know about this but the ability to post things in advance with Wordpress is absolutely great.

To post in the future all you have to do is:

• write your post as normal
• find the Post Timestamp panel
• edit the time and tick the Edit timestamp box
• Publish

There you have it. Easy! Take a look on the image below.

Wondering why use this?

Apart from the obvious things, like going on holiday, Sometimes I feel with a good mood and write many posts so rather than have them all go out at once, and then nothing for a week or two, I will make a series of posts and let them appear out over the week. This means I can forget about my site and let it continue to update itself.
