One of the perks of being a CoffeeCup customer is being treated like a friend, and friends sometimes hook each other up with free stuff, right? Well, your purchase of Visual Site Designer already entitles you to free e-mail support and free upgrades for life, and now we're going to be a pal and give you free S-Drive, too.

As a proud Visual Site Designer user, you'll be enthralled to learn that VSD is the first program that's fully integrated with S-Drive. Here's what this means for you:

• A chance to end your crummy relationship with FTP. Rather than hunting down complicated login information, you can publish your site to the web with nothing but your CoffeeCup account info. It couldn't be easier. Ditch the zero and get with the hero.
• A good home for your website. Your website is like your child, and picking out where it lives online is like helping your kid choose a college. Choosing the wrong home for your website is like sending Junior off to Cardboard University to major in basket-weaving. Don't do it! Send your website to the CoffeeCup S-Drive School for the Web's Best Sites, and tell it to major in something it'll be good at — like being awesome.
• Easiest updates ever. Have you heard of Streams? They're the easiest way to post updates to your website — like, from your phone, your e-mail account, or the dead-simple online dashboard. And if you own VSD, you can add a Stream to your site with a click of a button and minimal mousework. The only way it could be easier is if we came to your house and did it for you.

Don't have an S-Drive account? Sign up for yours here. If you hurry, you can secure {$user.name_first_sdrive_url} for your web address (also free). Told you it was cool. :)

So make sure you have the latest and greatest version of VSD installed, load it up, choose S-Drive as your publishing destination, and start exploring. You'll sleep better at night knowing your website is in paradise, being hand-fed tiny JPGs of grapes and fanned by printer paper. And when you wake up, VSD and S-Drive will be right there, sharing a relaxing cyber-tea and pulling up a chair for you. Welcome, friend, to the future of website management.

Just one note — S-Drive is not officially out of beta just yet, so any feedback (be honest!) is highly appreciated.

Have fun!
