Just Tabs, by Lincoln Beach Software, is a really slick product for spicing up your Web pages. I've mentioned before that I'm in the "graphically challenged" category, and even I can use Just Tabs and do a great job! The program makes it easy to create a "tabbed" interface for your Web site. And that tabbed interface makes it a lot easier to move around. I really liked the fact that Just Tabs let me decide how my tabs would look. You can pick out the shape you want and select the color. You can even select which font you'd like to use. Very slick!
Just Tabs makes it extremely easy to insert your new, tabbed interface into the HTML documents you already have. The program guides you through the process so there's no need to cut and paste the HTML code. I used it on my own Web site and it was a snap. And I find that the tabbed interface makes it easier for visitors to get around. Another feature that I like is that you have the option to make your tabs either horizontal or vertical! Makes it easy to give your Web pages a new look in a flash. Cool!
Just Tabs, by Lincoln Beach Software, is a nifty tool that does a specific task and does it well! The interface is intuitive and that makes it great for both new and experienced users. It gives you lots of configurable options so your tabbed interface can be just the way you want it to be. Pick the font, the shape, the color, and lots more. Heck, you can even pick which direction your tabs run in! So, to make your Web pages easier to navigate, you owe it to yourself to take a good look at Just Tabs. You won't find anything that's easier to use. Give it a try -- I recommend it!
Album Express, by Fookes Software, is a very cool program for creating quick and easy photo albums. I found the interface to be very nice and extremely easy-to-use. The program comes with some sample templates that are built right in, making it easy for you to give your photo collection a professional look. And it's simple! You just pick the pictures you want to use. Then pick a template. That's it. The program does the rest in record time!
Just like that your picture collection is in a Web page. And that makes Album Express especially great for people who don't know HTML. It's even easy for you to put in a background to spice up your project. A new feature in this version is the ability to give each of your pictures a unique title or short caption. With your album created you can view it on your computer or put it up on the Web - it's up to you. If you like, you can even create a complete database of your pictures that you can search. I find this invaluable for sorting through large collections of graphics. And while the program is great for novice users, it's also packed with features for advanced users. With its full-featured scripting language you can create your own templates! Create your own looks. That makes Album Express very slick and very powerful.
Album Express, by Fookes Software, is an impressive package. I like the fact that it's simple enough for newer users to use easily, while being powerful enough for advanced users to get creative with. It's all up to you. You can whip together a photo album in no time at all or take your time and create something truly unique. With it's scripting language and a basic knowledge of HTML, you can add sounds, and more, to your albums. And, this new version has even more powerful templates. So, whether you're a novice or an expert, I think you'll find Album Express the prefect tool for working with your pictures. Give it try! You're gonna love it!
If you want to improve your reading skills, you need to take a look at AceReader Pro, by StepWare, Inc. It's an excellent program that can be used by anyone -- children and adults! The program will help you to improve not only your reading speed, but also your comprehension. And that's important. It doesn't do any good to read faster if you can't remember what you've read. AceReader Pro gives you the tools to assess what your reading level is now. Then, it also provides you with tests and drills to help you to improve your reading skills. Reading is so very important that nearly everyone can benefit! And the material is good for grades 1 through 12 as well as adults!
AceReader Pro keeps track of the tests you do and graphs them for you. That means you can easily see where you started and where you are now. An excellent way to keep track of your progress. And, not only can it help with the way you read "regular" material, but it also helps you to read better while online! And that can be important if you're doing a lot of online reading! Very slick! Another feature that I like about AceReader Pro is that it's very configurable. You can determine your own hot keys, pick your own font, select a background color that's right for you and lots more. There are also a number of options and settings that you can configure so the program works the way you want it to. And, if all this weren't enough, you can even create your own customized drills to work with. Excellent!!
AceReader Pro, by StepWare, Inc., is an excellent tool that I recommend very highly! Nearly everyone can benefit from improved reading skills and this program makes that an attainable goal! It's highly configurable, assesses where you are, and helps you to get where you'd like to be as a reader. And, it's wonderful for people of all ages, both children and adults. So, if you'd like to read better, faster, and with better comprehension, you need to take AceReader Pro for a spin! You'll be very glad you did. Check it out!
That's it for this week. I hope you like these Picks as much as I do. Some really great programs. And remember this: Software is always a matter of personal taste. Because 10 million people use a certain piece of software doesn't mean that it's the right software for you. The only way to find out is to try different software, and you'll find plenty of everything here on
Simtel! I'll be back next week with more Picks. Until then, have a great week, be safe, and happy downloading!
