Q. How do I get started?
A. First, run WebCheck in the Webserver tab. Second, choose the folder containing your web docs in Options>Web Directory. Third, switch back to Files & Protection and choose your protection settings.
Q. What happened to "Secure" protection mode?
A. It caused too many problems, so it was removed. It wasn't really that secure, anyway. Those users who really need security should look into setting up an https site and using Weblock in Basic mode to protect it
Q. Why has it been so long since the last update?
A. I've been busy! In the past 3.5 years, I've gotten a real job, gotten engaged, and bought a house. I haven't gotten anywhere near as much programming time as I would have liked, but I'm trying to make up for that now
Q. What's in store for Weblock in the future?
A. A lot. Weblock 1.6 and its bug fix releases will be the end of the Weblock 1.x line. The 2.x line will be a complete rewrite, sharing no code with 1.x. Weblock 2 will require at least Mac OS X 10.3.9, and possibly 10.4.x. 2.x will be a real application; no longer a PrefPane. The 2.x line will also reflect a change in licensing structure as it will no longer be donationware.
