WYMeditor : Web-based XHTML editor


WYMeditor is a web-based WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) XHTML editor (not WYSIWYG).

WYMeditor's main concept is to leave details of the document's visual layout, and to concentrate on its structure and meaning, while trying to give the user as much comfort as possible (at least as WYSIWYG editors).

WYMeditor has been created to generate perfectly structured XHTML strict code, to conform to the W3C XHTML specifications and to facilitate further processing by modern applications.

With WYMeditor, the code can't be contaminated by visual informations like font styles and weights, borders, colors, ...
The end-user defines content meaning, which will determine its aspect by the use of style sheets. The result is easy and quick maintenance of information.

As the code is compliant to W3C XHTML specifications, you can for example process it using a XSLT (at the client or the server side), giving you a wide range of applications.

Closr.it : Zoom and Share your images for free


Closr.it is now open to the public by a few weeks. This open initiative enables users to freely store and share high-resolution images. Images are processed on the server and partitioned into tiles as much as Google Maps does for its aerial pictures.

The widgets also have some other useful functions, like a full-screen button, and another button that resets the photo to its starting size. There's minimal branding and excess junk attached to them, too, so they're not going to make your site look terrible when you embed them. If you have the particular problem of finding a way to display your large photos, Closr might be the solution.

Visup is the smart company behind Closr.it and they have chosen haXe to develop the Flash viewer.

Online Image Optimizer- GIF, JPG, and PNG


Online Image Optimizer lets you easily optimize your gifs, animated gifs, jpgs, and pngs, so they load as fast as possible on your site. Furthermore, you can easily convert from one image type to another.

The interface is quite simple as shown below; you can either load an image from your computer or directly using a URL link. The service is limited to original images under 300KB, but other than that it’s very quick and easy to use.

Once the image file has been selected, you can click on the optimize button, to get the results, if you wish to change the file format as well, use the drop-down menu to get the options as shown above, also you can use the checkbox in order to get all the results (this allows you to easily make the best choice, so that the optimized image you use doesn’t look very pixilated).

If you use a lot of images on your sites, they can slow down page loading times if you don’t optimize the images for website use. Adobe Photoshop is very expensive to buy just to optimize images, but luckily their are some good free online alternatives out there.
