After a long and quiet period, Floppyshop's site has started to pick up again with Steve Delaney now creating the pages himself on a regular basis. The address recently changed and should never change again regardless of the physical location of the site.
There's no fancy graphics - which works to its advantage and makes it ideal for Atarians to browse. The graphics used are functional and are only placed where advantageous. The site seems to be designed as an on-line version of their Atari Computing advertisements. The main difference being more detailed information about Floppyshop's services are available and you can download files including demo versions of their commercial software and the latest PD catalogue. Steve even offers a mailing list to keep customers up to date with the latest Floppyshop news.
The site is easy to navigate but far from complete. The structure is in place with some more work required on the extra detail pages for some of the programs. Worth re-visiting regularly.

Cadenza Software is run by Matthew Bacon, a shareware programmer dedicated to writing TOS compatible software.
The pages have been created using Matthew's own Web.Wizard program which is an HTML editor under development for release and support via CyberSTrider later this year. Instead of using frames, Matthew has made clever use of tables to give a similar effect - with outstanding results - although the colours are a little garish for my taste!
The front page gives you information about Cadenza and points you to the five different sections of the site, each pointer is accompanied by a description of that particular section.
All of Cadenza's past and present programs are available for download from one of the sections. As a dedicated HiSoft BASIC programmer Matthew has set up a HiSoft Basic area which tells you about the HiSoft BASIC user group and a new toolkit which Matthew and Paul Jones have created.
The Atari Authors section looks interesting. Matthew is keen to encourage Atari programmers to remain active and is in the process of creating a list of current programmers by inviting them to send in their profiles. This list is displayed on the site and gives the programmers some well deserved exposure. Atarians can peruse the list, find out latest versions of programs and then give feedback to the authors. Everyone concerned wins - users know about programs, authors know their programs are being used and continue to program for the Atari platform.
Finally, visit the site, download the Atari Authors button and wear it on your web site with pride!

Thomas's web pages covers a wide variety of interests in a mixture of German and English.
The site is easy to navigate with each sub page clearly signposted from the main page.
Of particular interest to Atarians are the home pages for OLGA, ObjectGEM and the ATOS disk magazine but my favourite page is the Natural Born Programmers page which features links and downloads for over a dozen of those nifty utilities which make Atari computing more enjoyable.The latest versions of OLGA, BubbleGEM, Start Me Up!, COPS and WDialog are all available for download. A must for programmers is a copy of the NVDI programming documentation in English.
