UPDATE: How to Get XSitePro 2 for Free!
March 28, 2008
Version 2 of XSitePro site builder software was released May 20, 2008! It’s now too late to buy Version 1 and qualify for the free upgrade to Version 2. XSitePro is a program built by marketers for marketers.
As a user of XSitePro for a couple of years now, I’m just as excited as everyone else about the release of the new version even though the current version is a great program as is. Currently, the program comes with dozens of built-in web site templates, built-in ftp client, site manager, file manager, sitemap builder, and dozens of other features marketers need.
Owners of XSitePro get a full user manual, how-to videos, and a user forum with over 11,100 registered users. When Paul asked current users what features they’d like to see in Version 2, hundreds of suggestions were submitted. It appears that nearly all of them will be incorporated into this new release. In fact, here’s what one beta tester had to say:
XSitePro Version 2 has a lot of features and will likely overwhelm
most users on first glance (as it did me!).
If you’ve been looking for web site building software, you should really consider XSitePro.

A new analytics tool allows YouTube account holders to see statistics for videos they upload. The new tool, named “YouTube Insight”, will show stats such as video popularity relative to all videos in your market and how often your videos are viewed in different geographic areas.
YouTube plans on releasing additional features soon including how viewers found your video. The current, and planned, features will allow video creators to better determine methods for improving the number of views their video receives.

Roboform - “Must-have” Software
March 27, 2008
If you have a computer, you must have Roboform. Never lose your user name or password again. I cannot even begin to tell you how invaluable this program has been to my online life. Besides being a major time saver, Roboform will remember all of your login details for web sites, bank accounts, web forms, etc. And, with its built-in security and encryption features you can feel safe online.
This handy, inexpensive program will store all of your online account information in one place so you are never without your login details. Your data files can be safely kept on a thumb drive for additional safety. And, all of your records can be printed for safe-keeping. Accessing your accounts is now a one click process.
Have you ever gone to a web site and forgotten your user name or password and can’t find that scrap of paper where you had written them down? Roboform solves that issue once and for all. I’ve been using this program for quite a while now and it’s one program I couldn’t live without. You can download Roboform for free.
Free FTP Client Software
March 25, 2008
One of the best FTP software programs is also free! FileZilla Client is a cross-platform FTP, FTPS and SFTP client with several useful features and an easy to use interface. I’ve been using this program for quite some time now.
Depending on your needs, FileZilla is a cross-platform program that runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD, OSX and more. It’s also available in several diffferent languages. The drag & drop support makes it simple to upload your web sites or files to your server.
Installation, instructions, and support can be found on FileZilla’s main site, Wiki, and the user forum. I saw no reason to buy a commercial program when FileZilla did everything I needed. To download your own copy, visit the FileZilla home page here: FileZilla Home
