			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unlike other platforms like Blogger or WordPress, Calepin is not a blog hosting solution. Rather, Calepin is a simple app that lets you use your Dropbox account to store blog posts and publish them online with a single click. Once you sign up for a Calepin account and link your Dropbox account to it, all you need to do is store your blog posts in plain text under a specific folder.</p>
<p>Then whenever you have a new post or have made changes to existing posts, click the Publish button on your Calepin account and all the posts will be published. Each post needs to include the date and title in a specific format but that&#8217;s all that&#8217;s needed. Since your blog posts are hosted by Dropbox, you can access them from anywhere.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/calepin.png?570cd5" alt="calepin.co" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Through live chat support on your website you are able to quickly assist site visitors and discover which areas of the site they face problems in.

<p>HelpOnClick is a web service that lets you add a live chat to your website through an embeddable HTML code. You can customize the chat interface to a great degree.

<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/helponclick1.png?570cd5" alt="helponclick" /></p>
<p>In addition to providing you with a way to talk to your site visitors online, HelpOnClick lets you save chat conversations in your online account.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/helponclick3.png?570cd5" alt="" /></p>

<p>HelpOnClick offers an absolutely free 14 day trial; after the trial period people who want to continue using HelpOnClick need to opt for the site’s paid services.</p>
<p>HelpOnClick has offered 10 free basic accounts for 3 months each to MakeUseOf readers. To take advantage of these licenses please leave comment on this post (using your email address).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While WordPress is a highly popular blogging and site platform, it does not offer an impressive collection of themes by default.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is much discussion going on when it comes to sharing in the social  space that most people forget that we also use other channels, such as  e-mails, to share online. We use e-mails to forward ideas to people without  broadcasting them. Certainly there are a lot of good user stories living in our  e-mails that should be published online.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/10111.png?570cd5" alt="publish to web " /></p>
<p>Jotpress is a dead-simple and free app that lets anyone share their ideas to  the online world from their e-mails. All one needs to do is e-mail <a class="vt-p" href="mailto:post@jotpress.com">post@jotpress.com</a> to instantly publish  anything from their e-mail to the web. You can choose to be anonymous or you can  personalize your page by signing up. The title of your e-mail becomes the title  of your Jot while the main body of your e-mail will be its content.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/1028.png?570cd5" alt="jotpress" /></p>
<p>Jotpress is instant blogging through e-mails. This tool tries to capture  ideas that would otherwise not be seen behind e-mail accounts. Unlike Twitter,  your thoughts are not capped to a specific character length, but like  Twitter, you can also share your published posts through social networks. It  also allows people to follow your posts so they can see what you have recently  shared from your e-mail.</p>
<p>Jotpress is a simple publishing tool, useful for anyone who wants to share  through e-mails, but who also wants to share it to the world.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Simple publishing tool from e-mails.</li>
<li>Free service.</li>
<li>Works with group e-mails.</li>
<li>Custom notification settings to your e-mail.</li>
<li>Choose to publish anonymously or make a private Jot.</li>
<li>Customize your profile for others to see.</li>
<li>Follow recent updates from Jot users.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While streaming online videos, most people do not bother scrolling down the page and reading the comments left for the video.

<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/talkwebby1.png?570cd5" alt="add comments to video" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you have a professional website or a casual blog, a contact page is vital so your audience can reach you easily. Formsly is a WYSIWYG web app for easily creating contact pages for your websites. You can add as many or as few elements on the page by just typing in the details.</p>
<p>There are three tabs by default, <em>head office, get directions</em> and <em>email us.</em> However, you can add more tabs. In addition to displaying your location, Formsly also displays it on Google Maps and let your users get directions to your location including printable or animated directions. The app does get pretty annoying and intruding at times by asking you to upgrade to the premium service multiple times on a single page, but is still a useful tool to create contact pages without doing any coding.</p>
