[ Blue Ice | News | Features | Screenshots | Open Source | Discussion ] Design Philosophy Blue Ice's most important feature is the design. Blue Ice has been designed to be small, reliable, and quick. It is designed to be fast not only in terms of execution time, but in terms of getting around the program. The software has many little ways to cut corners and get things done faster. Ergonomically, if I am typing and want to quickly insert an opening and closing pair of header tags, it does not make sense to have to take my hands off the keyboard and click on a toolbar or menu item. In Blue Ice, you just type CTRL+1. Beta Testing I develop web pages as part of my job, and I use Blue Ice to do it. If there's a bug in the program, I'm sure to find it soon enough. If there's a need for a really useful feature, I'm sure to realize it pretty quickly. I road-test each build of the program in daily use before I upload it, so it's very reliable. Other Features Tag Highlighting Auto-completes things like image and file links Image linker intelligently uses relative pathnames Automatic file recovery after your computer hangs or crashes Fast, clean interface Color picker for selecting colors visually or by hexadecimal code Code Clips - store pieces of code for easy insertion in documents Non-WYSIWYG, like the good Lord intended :-) Custom keyboard macros Test your page in different browsers Fast table inserter and list creator Allows you to run external applications from the toolbar Online help, as well as HTML and CSS reference in WinHelp format VB6 Source code included under General Public License "Tenet insanibile multos scribendi cacoethes."
