More on PHP Security
The WACT Wiki now has a page about Php Application Security which (I assume, judging from the style) Jeff added. Right now it’s a pretty much a checklist for things to watch out for, plus links to many a bedtime read (or not if you like to sleep well).

Feel free to add your input to Php Application Security and the pages leading off from it.
Nothing Like Free Controls!
Need a menu? A forum for your site? A rich text box for a contact page?

Forum Software: ASP.NET Forums
Written by Microsoft, and used on the official ASP.NET web site, this forum software is quick to install, feature-rich and can sit up there with any of those PHP boards.

Promote and Sell Your CF Tags - A Primer
…posted by davidjmedlock:
Have you thought about developing a revolutionary custom tag, CFC, or CFX tag? Maybe it’s a super flexible and easy to install content management system or a CFX tag that allows someone to create zip files on the fly. Whatever it is that you’ve developed, or plan on developing, you should research the various ways of promotion in order to maximize your visibility and sales.
First, you may want to start out by reading Sell Software on a Shoestring right here on SitePoint by Yau Wei Liang. It’s a couple of years old, but the information is still very valid today.
Once you’ve gotten your script developed, here are a few suggestions for promoting it:
First, you need to create your sales page(s) for your script. If you run a web site where you sell (or will sell) other products, you’ll want to create a sales page that features the product you’re selling exclusively. On the sales page you’ll want to have all the information that a visitor could possibly want about your script. If they can’t get all the information they need quickly and easily, they will move on …
