CoffeeCup Web Design Software

I've been a CoffeeCup user since 2003 and started out with the HTML editor. I must admit that in those days I knew very little, but the HTML editor made learning easy. It's a great tool. YES, I have tried other editors, but always go right back the CoffeeCup HTML editor. It just has so many neat features and it's so easy to use.. what can I say.. It is my choice for sure.

I figured if the editor was so good, I would try the other software. They all work great and I have a few favorites.. Form builder, Flash firestarter, Color schemer, Pix converter and recently the Shopping cart creator and Shopping cart designer.

What the heck, I bought every program they offer because the prices are easy to handle and with free upgrades how can you beat that.. And they have a trial of every program if your not sure about spending a few bucks for the registered version.. Most trial software only half works for 15 days, but CoffeeCup is fully functional until YOU decide it's time to spend your money. NICE

And guess what, they give you free stuff when you least expect it. I like that too.

I have used all the software including the Image mapper,, boy that one is neat and a huge time saver with nice results. Just wish I could post a URL to a few pages where that came in handy. The Flash photo gallery has saved a lot of time working on client sites.. because I build sites for people now too.

Sooo, one day I decided to spend some time on the CoffeeCup web site and see what was going on other than software. The site is really neat, easy to use, has lots of nice poeple to help and chat with.. How cool is that.

Have you ever wanted to actually talk or email the owner of a company only to find out they don't want to reply to you. WELL, at CoffeeCup you can talk to owner, developers, office people and anyone else you want to hear from. I even had a CoffeeCup developer help me on Sunday once( as it turned out the problem was my server).. Wow, what a company.
Really, how many software outfits can you say this about? not many that I know of.

They just had an Easter egg hunt on the CoffeeCup web site. They are just giving away whole packages of software for the different eggs planted on the site.. lol, I just love it.

It's an awesome outfit with great people and the best business model I have seen in many years. The whole deal gets a HUGE thumbs UP from me. Go for it!

This is a huge victory for the American  people ! Woot Woot !

The Democrats have a win over the corrupt Republicans and their corrupt Insurance Corporation buddies. It is about dam time this was done.. But it could be said, 40 years late is better than never. The only trouble with the bill is that it doesn't go far enough to contain the corruption. Yes, it should have gone much farther, but you have to "start" someplace. The political crap in Washington has been against the people of America for many years and this is a difficult problem to overcome. The whole bill should kick in within 12 months, not 4 years.. just for a start.

What is missing?
The insurance corporations should be forced to change to non-profit within 4 years or be closed and shut down.
What would this do?
It would stop the Insurance corporations from feeding profits to Wall Street, which is just throwing "your" money in the trash.

Many politicians are spewing propaganda that the American people don't want this reform and that is a complete and total LIE. You just ask every one you know if they agree with corporate corruption and they will say "NO".
But the Anti-American republicants are just not for the people of this country. They are all for the Anti-American corrupt corporations that have been ripping people off for many years. ENOUGH is ENOUGH

You don't see the idiots yelling about repealing social security or repealing medicare, NO you don't
You don't see State governments passing laws against Social Security or Medicare, NO you don't

The whole thing is about regulations for the Insurance Companies and having health care for ALL Americans.

Now, you tell me, who in this world could possibly be against all Americans having health care.. Tell Me That.

The people that SAY or YELL that they are against this reform and they "like" their health insurance are simply saying that they have never had a major illness and they haven't been screwed over by their insurer YET.

This new move to a better health system should be embraced by every person in the country.
We should all be saying, "it's about dam time the government has done something for us, the people".
Thank you goes out to everyone that supports the future of all Americans.

PS. The idiots that are continuing to yell about the national debt and/or cost are also full of shit because if they really gave a dam about the national debt.. They would have stopped all the spending on the Insane-war-on-Drugs, the Insane-Invasion of Iraq, the Insane-Invasion of Afghanistan and other High Cost and worthless programs.

I have been side tracked with Drupal and web sites.. lol
I thought I should post something since it's been 6 months and this blog program has been shut down for a while..

Happy New Year !

I just hope this year is better than the last 2 have been.. But we have those ignorant idiots in Washington Dc that don't seem to give a dam about the economy, even though they were the people that screwed it up. Since they made this a COMMUNIST China owned country, things have just gone downhill every year.

I hope those idiots see their mistake and fix it.. Just one little new law would do the trick for America.. Fair Trade

I have been working on more web site stuff.. It seems that you just keep learning more every time your turn the page. This time it's e-commerce web sites. They are everywhere, you know, click "add to cart" and "continue shopping".. Well, there is more to it than just clicking those buttons. Try setting one up and you will quickly find out just how complicated they can be. I don't know which one I am useing is better, so I am attempting to learn the top 3.In my book that is Drupal e-commerce, Ubercart and ZenCart. I like the Open Source stuff, because you can dig through the files and change it around the way you want. I didn't say that makes it easier, just more interesting. We will see how that turns out. I think it may be time to get my test server fired up.

The boaters have been out on the Lake, I know because I can hear the boats running on the weekends. I don't have any boats in the water this year because there isn't any money to mess with them. But that's ok, it has saved me from lots of work. I don't even know what gas costs these days.. haven't bought any for months. I think my car has maybe 30 miles on for the year so far. I thought about buying a license for my little row boat, but I don't want to give any money to the State of Ohio, they are so irresponsible with money. And now the hypocrite Governor wants to expand gambling, He is an ASS. You still don't hear him talking about stopping corruption and needless spending-- when will those people get their act together-- I hope they go broke.

I am making a boat cover for a 33 foot bayliner right now.. It is one heavy cover, makes my back hurt to lift it. I wish people would listen when I tell them to use a light weight fabric. Of coarse it's a full cover with full drop sides and even goes over the radar arch.
It's about 9am, just got up, and the sun is drying the cover after last nites rain-- time to get workin...

I just have to post every once in a while, I do miss my B2evo blog every now and then. But I do have 6 blogs that get posted to regularly, and I take care of 14 or 15 web sites on a regular basis. I guess this one just doesn't get the traffic the others do. I am getting much better at typing and my spelling is improving in a huge way.

I have been busy learning how to live with No Money.. These days, that's exactly the way it has been..No Money, which means NO BOATING, No travel other than 1 mile to the corner store and do nothing but stay home and work on the computer. I don't entertain at all because there is just no money.

I do get some boat covers to make from time to time, but I am getting to the point where I hate even looking at a boat. If you enjoy something, don't ever do it for a living or you will grow to despise it. Catch 22. For that reason, I no longer will work on boats for friends and only do canvas work(covers,tops,enclosures), hopefully by reducing all the extra crap I used to do will revive my love of boating and working on my own boats.

But I have to say, I am getting sick of the FREE TRADE economy. I don't like rice that much. I wish the dam anti-American government would change their policies so America can be a country again. I am tired of writing letters to those communist bastards(politicians).

But some good from all things that completely suck. I have been learning loads of cool stuff about the Drupal CMS system.. I had no idea it would turn into a full time occupation, but it has. And I have only just begun to get into it. That may seem odd after a year working with the system every day. But that's the plain truth of it. Heck, just sorting through the 2000 modules is a full time job. I am amazed at how much I have learned and how much I have yet to learn. Many days, I get so brain dead, I just crash at the computer desk and don't even know it till I wake up 4 hours later that I am still at the desk.. lol..

I am still working on the Buckeye Lake web site and it has turned into a second full time job. That's the price you have to pay to have lots of features and always add more,, constantly. And still have many things I would like to get going on as time and knowledge permits.. Can you say DRUPAL.. lol. I know the word all to well at this point. Drupal blows everything away that you have ever known about a cms system. Don't even try to work with Drupal unless you are a developer, you will just get frustrated and give up. You have been warned..

I have just started on twitter out of the need to be current with technology and keep sites up to date with all that stuff.. I think it's kinda stupid.. The whole tweet thing..I would rather write more than just 140 characters.. But at least I don't have a pocket phone.

Thats all folks!! Catch me on www.BuckeyeLake.org , seems to be my new home, and www.DaveBeall.com , my test zone. When i get time and more smarts i will be into Apache servers more,, a whole different world.
