[description], Story, any other text you want to use. Keep Your Software Simple! A Review of EditPlus by: Kempton Smith
I like my software simple. If it's too complex or difficult to figure out, I don't use it. For example, I have tried a lot of different programs for creating my web pages. These include:
and a variety of other commercial, shareware and freeware editors. Each time I tried one of these, I found it too complicated. What are all these "panels" for? How to I see the underlying HTML code for my page? What's a "web"? How do I begin to use this package? I just couldn't get answers to my questions easily. Now my hard disk is bulging from the growing number of HTML editors I got from download.com and then abandoned. A couple of years ago, I discovered EditPlus. It's a very simple and easy-to-use editor. Yet is also has plenty of sophistication if you need it. You can use EditPlus both as a text editor and as an HTML editor. This nifty piece of software has an internal preview capability so that you you get a quick check on your HTML code. It also has a spelling checker, word wrap, and a word counter. It even includes FTP functions so that you can upload your web pages to your host provider. I wrote this article, formatted it for publication, added HTML code and published it on my web page using EditPlus. So far, I haven't read a manual for EditPlus and don't feel I need to because the program is so intuitively easy to use. I admit that you need to learn some HTML if you want to create and edit your web pages with EditPlus. But I get nervous when I try to create a web page with one of those designer packages where the HTML code is hidden from view. I keep going back to EditPlus after trying those other complicated web design programs. If you want to test it, you can download a trial of EditPlus from http://www.editplus.com. The cost of the software is minimal (only about $30) and well worth it. Why can't more software developers follow the KISS philosophy? Keep it Simple, Stupid! I'm convinced they would capture more of us simple-minded users if they followed this principle. Then it would be Keep It Simple, Smarty!

Just because a document appears online doesn't mean it contains valid information. In fact online information demands close scrutiny.

It's up to you to cast a critical eye, sorting high speed dsl fact from fiction, actuality from opinion. Whether you are reading a printed article or an electronic one, a healthy dose of skepticism is in order even when it comes to our high speed dsl recommendations. Real Time Media On The Net Index
