Create Web Albums with iWebAlbum Free

Posted: 21 May 2012 11:00 AM PDT


iWebAlbum will generate HTML web albums of your pictures, on its own, without you needing to know how to edit HTML or anything like that. Program is very easy to use, only two steps are necessary in order for you to create web albums made out of your own personal pictures, which you can then share with your friend and family on the Internet.

iwebalbum default window

These days a lot of people have their own websites, where they share with the rest of the family and friends, but not just them, with the rest of the world, their thoughts, opinions, basically they share their lives. Pictures definitely fall into category of things that are shared, and if you are not very versatile with HTML coding, but you would like to have beautiful web albums or galleries on your website, then you can rely on iwebAlbum to do the hard work for you, by automatically creating the HTML file of a web album with your pictures.

iwebalbum gallery 2

How to create web albums automatically with iWebAlbum

You can start by adding pictures that you want to see in the album to the list so that iWebAlbum can use them during the album creation. Images can be added individually or you can add entire folders at once.

iwebalbum adding pictures

After you’ve loaded all the pictures that you want, click on Next at the bottom and you will be presented with the last step of the web album configuration process. Here you need to choose how the album will look like, what size pictures used in the album will be, and of course add a name and a caption for the album that you are creating.

iwebalbum step 2 options

In the first drop down menu you can choose the appearance of the album, sadly there are only two different skins available, the default skin which is shown on the image above, or there is also the book skin, where your images are placed inside a photo album type of skin, you can see a demonstration of this type of skin on the second image from the top.

Second drop down menu can be used in order to change the style that the photo album will have. Style here means color, that’s change what kind of color the background will be, what kind of color frame images inside the album will have and so on. The default skin offers you three different types, but the book skin only has one, again here the program might be lacking in options, but since it’s free we have no right to complain.

You can choose how large the album will be by specifying the size of the images used changing the number of rows and columns used. After you’re done with that simple step, add the name of the album and a comment, which will be shown below the name and you can click on the Generate Web Album button.

iwebalbum gallery 1

iWebAlbum is very easy to use and understand, options are clearly laid out, if only it had more skins available for web albums, but since the program is free, what we get is more than enough. Give it a spin and see how you like it.

Free Windows System Optimizer: Crap Cleaner

Posted: 21 May 2012 06:30 AM PDT


Crap Cleaner is yet another software that you can use in order to optimize your Windows PC. When you visit the homepage of EvonSoft, creators of Crap Cleaner you’ll notice that there are two different free versions available for download, but the second option for free download is not Crap Cleaner, in fact it’s not even software made by EvonSoft, so be careful what you download.

Crap Cleaner default window

What you see above is the default window of Crap Cleaner, as you may have noticed, the program name is Advanced System Restore, some might think that something is wrong, this isn’t Crap Cleaner, but this is the real deal, I checked it twice. Perhaps the author wanted to avoid the word “crap” in the program name, since it’s not a nice word to hear in front of children ;), that’s why we have Advanced System Restore.

Spyware scanning and removal with this system optimizer

I don’t know how much point there is using Crap Cleaner’s Spyware Removal tool and ultimately relying on it, because program updates are not available in the free version. If you click on Update button on the left side, the program homepage will open and you will be presented with the list of features that the free version has. Then notice that only users with paid versions can update the program and with it the spyware database. The one that comes with the program is probably not updated, newer version of malware might slip under the radar. You can still use it, just don’t trust the scans completely.

Crap Cleaner spyware scan

How good is the disk defragmentation feature?

After initially trying to scan for fragmentation errors I discovered that there are no errors on my hard drive:

Crap Cleaner defragmentation

Which is weird because the installation is older and there should be errors, so I looked into it and in options it was set that program ignores errors until defragmentation reaches 5%:

Crap Cleaner options

Change this to Always Defrag and remove the check box next to Skip Huge Files. After that program finds defrag errors and it’s pretty good, except there’s no advanced overview of what’s going on when the defragmentation is happening.

Fixing registry errors with Crap Cleaner

During the registry scan, problems were found immediately:

Crap Cleaner registry scan

Just like with defragmentation, when I selected the Repair button, progress bar at the bottom filled, but there were no log reports about what exactly was deleted. Hiding information from users is never a good thing, perhaps this will change in the future versions of the program.

Junk files removal

After clicking on Scan, in the junk file removal portion of the program you will be informed about how much file space junk files are taking up on your hard drive:

Crap Cleaner junk files removal

And after clicking on the Repair button you will not get much more info, just like with the rest of the scanners. The program doesn’t seem to have very advanced reports, which is not a good thing. There is an option View Logs, but surprisingly it didn’t work. Make sure that you check the Option before starting scans, adjust everything according to your taste. Taking the log report issue aside, Crap Cleaner is very good, very lightweight and easy to use, give it a try if other similar PC optimizers have failed you.
