Not exactly an app but I know I can’t live without it. I am trying to figure out ways to incorporate it into all my projects. My new best digital toy…
I wrote about it in our "How We Did It " page (AKA "The Apparatus"). I don’t think I heaped enough praise on this Revolution. It’s a widget-ready Wordpress-based Ezine Theme that works. No programming involved. Need help? Visit the forum. Need some custom code? Visit the forum. Think it’s over your head? Visit the forum.

In addition, Mr. Gardner has authored a series of video tutorials for those less-than-internet-savvy folks who want a professional looking blog.
This Magazine-style website in a .zip file comes ready to launch. Just add content.
