True Buffet of Freeware Applications
By Mitch Keeler
Pull yourself up to the sidebar and please watch the sneeze guard, we have been working hard to put together a collection of awesome freeware web developer programs for our clients to use. Making its home on our Lunartics blog, we have WYSIWYG editors. We have HTML tools. We have image enhancers. We have even one of the best blog posters you will have ever used. Here are a few of the best that we have collected thus far.
FileZilla - One of if not the most popular open source FTP client out there today. Highly suggested solution for your file transferring needs.
Windows Live Writer - By far the best blog updater and management tool you have ever laid your eyes on. Perfect free download for any blogger.
KompoZer - If you like the look and feel of Nvu but you are looking for a few more bells and whistles then please check out KompoZer. They refer to themselves as Nvu’s unofficial bug-fix release for a reason you know. Great WYSIWYG editor!
Notepad Light - This freeware feature support for multiple document editing at once, capable of editing huge files, text drag and drop editing, auto-correct and tons more.
PSPad - If you work with your web page code as plain text, but you would like an editor that delivers more than your standard notepad does, PSPad deserves your attention.
Notepad++ - An excellent replacement for Notepad and will help you with your HTML coding issues. It supports WYSIWYG editing, syntax highlighting, and more.
Nvu - It is the open source version of the web site editor that used to come with Netscape. It has been improved upon though by the open source community and has become on of the better free site editors out there.
As you can see there is plenty to love, but please leave room for more. We’ll be posting more delicious tools, and delightful helpers soon. Check out all the free downloads we have found just for you.

These of course are major free projects going on out there but I think a true buffet would be to see all those neat open source applications that exist on your servers right now. I know I have a few.

I wish you were more user friendly and had an 800 number for customer service. I got Net vision web site software so I could do my changes easily, but can’t I can’t Lunar Pages to except the “publish” ..anyway. Your updates are confusing..can’t you have a “priority” updates one? instead of such a mass to select from? Sounds like your trying to sell cosmetics or something, and not just software updates! I’m not loving it and maybe your site is just for the “guru” computer types.
