John’s Background Switcher This sits in your system tray and periodically changes the wallpaper on your computer at the interval of your choosing. You can set it to use specific pictures on your computer, select random pictures from folders (such as My Pictures), or download your choice of photos from Flickr, Phanfare, smugmug, Picasa web albums, Facebook or Yahoo! There are loads of options!
	John’s Image Converter I take pictures on my digital camera and want to make them a bit smaller before putting them on my blog. The trouble is, that means I have to fire up Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro and it’s a pain in the ass. So I wrote a little utility that would resize the images for me. And this is it.
	A PHP Discussion Forum A long time ago I had a discussion forum on this site. I took it down because nobody used it and I realised that having the ability to post comments about each article was a better idea. However, if you’re interested in creating a discussion forum, I’ve made the code I used available so you can add that capability to your website.
	HTML Month Creator This little application will allow you to input dates and links and it will generate the html for a monthly calendar control. It generates the sort of HTML you see on blogs providing links to each day’s posts. You can load and save each month and it’s highly customisable.
	Captioned Image Creator CityDesk 1 allowed you to insert a captioned image into your articles (an image with a line of text below it). This feature was removed for CityDesk 2 but I liked it. So I’ve written a small application that will generate the html you need to insert a captioned image into your article in HTML view.
	CityDesk Weblog Templates I created some CityDesk templates that you can use as a base for creating a blog: A simple weblog template (no comments functionality) A weblog template with comment functionality (uses PHP and mySQL) A weblog template with mailing list functionality (uses PHP and mySQL)

Oh, the usual disclaimers apply about it not being my fault if you use my software and it burns down your house or something to that effect!
