A Quick Word

Welcome to the May 2005 issue of the Interspire newsletter.

Since the last newsletter was sent out, we've officially released ActiveKB 2005 to an overwhelming response. Remember, if you ordered within the last 6 months, then you can download the latest version of ActiveKB free of charge from our client area.

Our newsletter membership has now topped 40,000 which is quite a feat, so thanks for subscribing and we hope you get as much fun out of our newsletters as we do putting them together every month.

Chris and I have been working hard with our team of beta testers over the last few weeks, so expect to see TrackPoint 2005 released over the next couple of days! It's looking great!


Operations Manager

Welcome to Our Newest Staff Member, Amit!

Amit is our newest product specialist. His experience with both PHP and our products is exceptional and he has fantastic customer service experience as well. Amit started out as a passionate customer but he loved our products so much that he offered to help with support, marketing, writing articles and more -- and we just couldn't refuse!

On behalf of everyone at Interspire, we'd like to officially welcome Amit to the team! If you see him helping out in our forum, feel free to say hi.

Add Dynamic Content to your ArticleLive Web Site

"This article will teach you how to integrate RSS feeds from various news sources into your ArticleLive site using an external script. It is a step-by-step guide from start to finish. For this example, I will aggregate news content from one news source. Namely, the BBC South Asia News site as this is most relevant to the content of my site. You can choose your own as long as it supports RSS and you have a link to their RSS Feed."

Convert a Web Page From Static HTML to Dynamic PHP Includes

" You might be one of the lucky people who has a website that is much larger than 5 pages. When you need to make changes to your site, then it would be a little time consuming & pointless to make the same change to every page on your site. For this very reason, I would like to show you how you can use common elements by making use of PHP includes..."

Recent Staff Blogs

As always, we manage to keep our Interspire staff blogs up to date with information on upcoming products, as well as development issues and ideas that we come across during the week. Here are some extracts from our recent posts:

  • Welcome aboard Amit!
    On behalf of everyone here at Interspire, i'd like to welcome Amit to our ever growing friendly team. Amit began as a customer of ours, who slowly grew to know most of our products inside out, as well as enjoyed using them and customizing them. The opportunity couldn't be resisted, and now he's one of the team...

  • CSS templates for download...
    I don't blog much... so I thought I'd give you all a bit of premature excitement... this is a blog in anticipation for the flood of CSS templates that are going to flow from my creativity in the upcoming weeks. I've been told that CSS is the next best thing, so I'm thinking that all you guys out there deserve a little more than just boring table layouts...

  • Designer Tools
    I found this really useful tool for Firefox the other day... http://www.karmatics.com/aardvark/ -- It lets you see what stylesheet elements each part of your site uses. This will be extremely useful for designers, probably save some time too so you know quickly what you need to change :) (Note, works only in Firefox).

Bye For Now

Anyway, that's all from me. I'm off to design some CSS-driven templates. If you didn't know, there was a small speil about us in the UK WebDesigner magazine, so if you live in the UK why not take a look!

Until the next issue, I'll catch you in the forums...
