- Do you use Macromedia software, Darken?

[Darken Elise]

Yup. I have the Studio MX... I actually paid for it too!

Here's a site I did for the local chapter of the SCCA. It had to be kept simple so that peeps without any experience could update it (I'm not the webmaster for the site, just the designer). www.nepa-scca.com I'm not exactly thrilled with, but I had about a month to do it and I was also ending a semester at the same time, so, if I could have done things differently, I would have.

I like it! :nod:

[dionysusolympus]

I agree. Their products work together anyway...I think it will be beneficial for the consumer in that instead of buying two different packages...

[Darken Elise]

Thanks Tzar! I'm probably going to redo the entire site as things have changes the ease for upates no longer applies... I have free reign!!! WOO HOO!!!

Dion- I subscribe to Mac Design and they are currently changing their name to Layers magazine and will be dedicated to covering only Adobe products. I sent a rant to them saying "you mean to tell me that you're not covering Macro products anymore!?!?!" They wrote back :That's right. Sneaky dogs obvioulsy weren't telling me all they knew!!!

I used to read them a while back. I didn't realise that they had changed to another name... :lala: :confused3

[Darken Elise]

Just announced the change about a week or two ago. I'm guessing my next issue will say Layers on it...

How's life in Philly?

Burn, baby, burn! :piss: :insecure:

lol... it's actually a little nerve-wracking! Oh well, we were just flooding here two weeks ago!!! Can't win.

That bad? Were you guys hit as hard as the guys near the Delaware? :drums2: :ak:

[Darken Elise]

My house? No. The neighbors across the street are technically on a flood plain and some of them got nailed pretty good. There were other river side towns in my area that got clobbered though. I don't know of any houses floating away and stuff like that, but many got water on their first above ground floor. That sucks... It was worse during Hurricane Ivan though.
