This site features online text and html changing, modifying, converting tools designed to save you time making web pages or preparing text for web publication.

Basically, the most common tasks that someone who works in an office or does freelance web development might encounter. Most of the tools have been created using javascript so you should be able to change large amounts of text as the processing is done on your computer instead of being limited by a server script.
Online retailers are first faced with figuring out which shopping cart system they want to use to run their business. This blog tackles the many, many shopping cart providers that offer very decent options for what is usually a monthly fee. The authors literally take these systems out for a test drive and write about their benefits, shortcomings and unique features. They also provide a step-by-step wizard that first asks if you want to buy a cart, rent a cart or need a gateway system (which connects your current site to a payment process). It then evaluates your specific needs and churns out a variety of options for you to consider. The site presents itself as an independent operation with information on at least 100 different types of shopping carts.
