Calling 7 zip as just an alternative to WinZip would be an insult to the software deve7-ziplopers of 7 zip.  It’s much better than Winzip. I was surprised to see that one of the archive files that  Winzip reported as corrupt, 7zip unzipped it without any issue.

The other important point is that it supports a lot of archive formats –like ISO- that WinZip doesn’t. Here are some of the supported formats:7-zip-supported-formats

Probably WinZip should come out with some unique and exclusive option now, otherwise it would be just a matter of time before people would start flocking towards 7-zip.

125*125 banner

125*125 banners have become the standard on internet. Browse out a blog or a webmaster related site and you can be sure to locate this size of ad.

People generally resort to expensive designers or forums like DP to get their banner designed. Here I have got something different. Free125cards. This online banner creation tool allows you to create a 125*125 banner for free.

From start to finish the service take less than 2 mins to design a banner. They have neatly categorized the banners in 11 colors. Once you pick a color and a template, it will prompt you to ‘Personalize’ where you can customize your text with different sizes and fonts.

I would say it’s an extremely valuable resource for small time webmasters, or guys starting out with a blog.

Pretty cool. Check out now.

Also check BannerFans. It gives you many customizations like size, text color and font.
