Stiqr: A Code-Free Website Design Tool

Stiqr is a web editor where you can edit your website by touching only one line of code. That’s right, there’s no need for you to worry about the coding part. If you hate to code and want a rocking website to boot, then read on.

Stiqr is actually a widget for your webite. The WYSIWYG editor lets you design your site in a stick and place (drag and drop) fashion. What’s great about the service is that it works on all websites including WordPress, Blogger and Tumblr.

How it Works:

Stiqr sits and works on top of your website and lets you edit your website as you see it live.

There is nothing to download, upload, or install, all you need to do is just embed our widget to your website. Once embedded, all modifications are done instantly from your website using the Stiqr interface. This eliminates the need to open up ftp connections to make changes to your site, nor do you have to learn which file to edit from complex template system, thereby, making Stiqr extremely convenient, easy, and fun to use for all people.

To begin using Stiqr, simply copy the only line of code that you will ever touch from the website and paste in on your own site right before the </body> tag on your html file and save it. The next step is to Refresh the page and press shift+F2 to activate the Stiqr interface. From there, set a password and login to your Stiqr.

TumblUpon: Stumble Tumbler Posts

Tumblr has a new feature experiment called TumblUpon which is quite similar to the popular social bookmarking site Stumbleupon. The feature will recommend different posts found on Tumblr based on your interest.

All you need to do is head to the tumblr.com/tumblupon address and the toolbar will appear. You can start “tumbling” random tumblr posts from there. Although it functions like the popular social bookmarking site, unlike Stumbleupon, the tumblupon toolbar does not have a thumb up/thumb down button and bookmarking feature. It will just display a random post from other Tumblr users and it doesn’t even change the URL every time you make a “tumbl.”

The toolbar contains the Tumblupon button which will bring you to a random blog post. It also displays a small avatar and the name of the blog that you are currently visiting. Aside from that, a join Tumblr button also exists on the other side of the toolbar.

This is a great way of discovering blog posts made by other Tumblr users. It’s also a great way of promoting blog posts on your Tumblr account and a clever way to promote Tumblr to non-users. If you’re up for some blog stumbling, check out the tool and discover blogs posts you don’t normally see or read anywhere else.
