WordPress 2.8.6

http://wordpress.org/

WordPress is perhaps best known for blogging, but its highly customizable format makes it ideal for creating personal websites as well. The content management system is easy to use and visitors will find that there's plenty of support via their online forums. This version makes adding extensions and plug-ins a bit simpler, and these devices can be used to transform WordPress into an online store or an art gallery. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 95 or newer. [KMG]



FeedDemon 3.0.44

http://www.newsgator.com/individuals/feeddemon/default.aspx

FeedDemon has embarked on some new changes in this latest release, and those who have enjoyed the application in the past will be most pleased. The application has been a popular RSS and Atom feed catcher for several years, and this version syncs up nicely with Google Reader to bring users the latest news from thousands of sources. In this version, users will also note that Twitter feed reading has been seamlessly added, and it's also easy to add tags and tag clouds. This version is compatible with computers running Windows XP and newer. [KMG]
