When personal blogs and websites took off, I wanted to create my own but I didn't want to become a computer programmer. I wanted an authoring environment that would provide great flexibility with a point and click UI. That probably describes quite a few tools now, but I've stuck with the first one I've found: Squarespace. For a long time Squarespace was just some young computer prodigy named Anthony Casalena. Then, in a small world coincidence, my childhood buddies at Index Ventures made an investment and Squarespace is going even bigger. I like the fact that it is easy to use but has some sophisticated features, like user access controls so I can create password-protected portions of my websites for collaborators.
