I've launched a new site through my web design company called A Site A Day; the site does exactly that! It gives web designers a nice-looking website every single day of the year. It should help cure the dreaded designer's block.

Most RSS readers for Mac will cost you; there's a free RSS reader in Thunderbird but I use Apple's Mail so I'd rather run an application that's just for RSS.

I managed to find (it was suprisingly hard) a free RSS reader for OS X. It's called Vienna and you can download it from here:

Download Vienna

It's a great little application. It has a simple interface, Atom support and folder groups and smart folders make it easy to manage all your feeds.

I always think the best web page development environment is one that strikes a medium between being a basic text editor and a fully functional IDE. A text editor is too basic for me whereas a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver is just overpriced and irritating. What I want is a text editor with syntax highlighting, the ability to edit files via FTP and some good search functionailty.

Enter Bluefish.

Bluefish is a free text editor for Linux that does just that. You can download it from here: http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/56950/BlueFish.htm or you can get it through the package manager on Debian-based Linux distros:

sudo apt-get install bluefish
