This month's cover feature rounds up all those superb Web sites we all use everyday to make our lives easier, to save time and money, or just to make mundane tasks a little more entertaining. To make sure these 100 sites really do change your life, we've tried to make it as easy as possible for you to add them as favourites or bookmarks within your browsers.
We've included some top URL management apps to get started with, including Bookmark Magic for the PC, and Atchoo! 1.6 for the Mac, plus the 100 URLs themselves so you can import the links to your browser and save yourself some typing.
Our featured file this month is a bumper trial of Macromedia Homesite 5. This lean, mean code-only editor for the coolest of Web developers is as popular as ever in its latest incarnation. Advanced coding features embracing HTML, CFML, JSP and XHTML ensure this package stands out from the pack of WYSIWYG editors so popular today. We've also bundled the HomeSite Value Pack on your CD, which adds ActionScripts, CSS and other bells and whistles to the standard HomeSite 5 fare.
There's plenty of software to encourage you to try out our step by step projects and other articles. Get chatting to your gaming and Instant Messaging pals with Roger Wilco!, try out some choice WiFi hotspot sniffers, and make some dynamic content shortcuts thanks to Mark Bennett's code and script from his Flash/ASP tutorial. From the security software labs test we have trials of Norton Internet Security, Steganos Internet Anonym, AVG and ZoneAlarm. As always, we've also included all our recommended HotDownloads, plus updated versions of the most popular Web tools and apps available to ensure you're bang up to date but save on all that download time.
We're already working hard on the content of next month's CD, so keep mailing us or posting on our forums with more ideas for the disk. We always appreciate your input.
