Wordpress seems to be used by the majority of blogs I read each day (with Drupal being a close second), and there are hundreds of free templates available for customizing the look and feel: http://alexking.org/projects/wordpress/theme_browser.php http://wpgarden.com/ Also, here's a link to a helpful tutorial on how to install Wordpress on your web

I agree with the survey results that show a high usage of Drupal. I'm using it for about a dozen sites and absolutely love it. Recently a good friend of mine found out that his brother has brain cancer and they were looking for a website to post updates. It took me about 10 minutes to set up a website and get them up and running, and they've

The free tool I use the most often for web authoring is PSPad: http://www.pspad.com/ It works for HTML, XML, PHP, ASP, etc, etc. I use FileZilla for transferring files from my computer to my web site (also free): http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ For software development, I use Microsoft Visual Studio Express - it's free and does everything I need

If you just want a handful of specific users to be able to download the Access database file and search against it on their own machines, then you could just put it on a folder on your server, and then password protect that folder.

I tried their GoToMyPC software but cancelled within a couple of weeks

We tried to switch from Outlook to Thunderbird at a company I worked for a couple years ago. Thunderbird was "ok" in my opinion, but not as full featured as Outlook, and didn't integrate as well with all the other MS apps we were using. The main issue we ran into was resource scheduling. I much prefer to schedule rooms, people, projectors, etc from

Any chance you'll be able to post your thesis, or perhaps blog about it along the way? As an author of a popular mail merge sender program (PC iMail) I'd be very interested in hearing about your conclusions. In fact, if you still are struggling with writer's block you might find my article at http://www.prosoftapps.com/pcimail/howto-sendannouncement

Just joined the forum and saw this post... hope it's not too late to resurrect it... I recommend that you try PC iMail 2006 (http://www.prosoftapps.com/pcimail) which lets you create an HTML newsletter as well as send it using mail merge fields. It also lets you configure time delays in between messages to comply with ISP limitations and avoid getting
