Feed For All

I decided I wanted to include a RSS feed for the non blog pages of my website. Towards that end I found FeedForAll, an inexpensive program that does the trick. It’s somewhat confusing but if you understand html, you can stumble your way through it. I’m still wrestling with getting css to work in the feed (for formatting image alignment) but it does provide normal information just fine.

A 30-day trial is offered. If you decide to purchase, be advised that registration key generation takes up to 24 hours….so if you wait until the 30th day of the trial period to purchase, you may find yourself high and dry for a day while you wait.

Adobe CS3 Web Premium

I’ve been an avid Photoshop and Dreamweaver user for years. But because of the high cost to upgrade, I’ve waited 5 years to make the plunge. I’m glad I did.

Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks have undergone significant changes from my older versions. Lots of new features. Right now I’m using Dreamweaver more than the others but that will change.

Added to my lineup are Acrobat Professional and Illustrator. Not high on my list but they will get used. Upgrading the individual programs (Photoshop, Dreamwever, Flash, Fireworks) would have cost me more than the suite upgrade so it was an easy decision.

I did not experience any install problems but I had to watch the install status bar for awhile. It took several hours to install everything. I uninstalled old software first (except Dreamweaver in the hopes it would recognize the software…it didn’t).

Overall, I’m very happy with this package. I downgraded the rating because of the rediculously long installation time.
