Changing a site menu title now properly marks all pages for (re)publishing.

Too bloated and a complicated UI.

Wasn't Karelia Software bought out by Sun?

A lot of people who have a need for decent web sites but don't have a budget for them usually end up with something that simply doesn't carry much "Google Juice." Funny that since our friends with the funny name are essentially the holy grail of search. Most simple-to-use web design programs seem to ignore this fact and make poorly coded sites that make real web designers cringe.

Not Sandvox from Karelia Software. This affordable and easy-to-use program takes full advantage of the Mac interface while also incorporating all the search engine optimization functionality you need.

While there isn't everything you'd find in something like Dream Weaver, this program is also logical and makes sense. I own Dream Weaver too but more often than not I'm using Sandvox. It's simple, effective and lets me get the job done without navigating Adobe's byzantine menu and palate system. Yuck.

Here are some of the sites I've done in Sandvox for your reference:

"Stuck" On Watson? - Version: 1.6.2, 6/2/2009 11:52AM PST

For those who can't seem to get it through their heads, here it is again:

What happened to Watson was NOT Karelia's fault.

They held up their end of the deal, and continue to do so to this day. If you want to complain about the death of Watson, go complain at SUN, and rip on their products.

Blaming Karelia for SUN's decision to re-neg on their agreement to continue to produce Watson is like blaming the newspaper carrier for the fact that your toaster stopped working.
