Adobe To Acquire Macromedia
Two of the biggest software giants known to graphic designers and web designers worldwide will soon become one. This is no joke, and this acquisition will turn the software and web development industry into a new direction - forever.
Here are just a few questions that come to my mind.
1.) Should all Macromedia fans who have faithfully used Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks for many years be concerned?
2.) Will Adobe eliminate the development of any of these software packages and force the world to purchase their expensive Adobe Photoshop software which is now $600.00 retail?
3.) Will the "BEST" HTML Editor for many years, Dreamweaver, reduce in quality, raise in price or worse be eliminated?
4.) What is Microsoft thinking? What do they have up their sleeve?
As a loyal Macromedia user since 1995, I'm a tiny bit concerned but mostly intrigued. ;) I have nearly all of the Adobe products (latest versions) and use them occasionally. But I always return to Macromedia's software as they "feel" more intuitive to me, and I can accomplish the same task in less steps. That's just me.
My hope is that Adobe will learn from Macromedia's user-friendly interface and improve their products and at the same time reduce their prices. :)
Any web designer knows that until your business get's going strong with a consistant ROI, purchasing software that takes some time to learn at a price that is beyond your budget, isn't a good way to start moving your web design business forward. Most template designers develop their designs so that their customers are required to use PhotoShop to edit the graphic files. That's where BasicTemplates.com is different and why we continue to remain the #1 choice for "effective" web design at an affordable price. Not only are our original designs far below the industry's standard price for the same quality, there are no hidden costs to surprise webmasters such as the need to purchase high priced software just to use the designs effectively. Okay ... Enough about why we rank so high in the web template development category; you already know that if you've ever purchased our designs. :)
Here's more on the Adobe-Macromedia consolidation...

Celebrity Blogs
After finding David Douchavey's blog today, I thought I'd browse around the net a bit. I uncovered a jackpot site that blog-reading addicts will want to bookmark: "Celebrity Blog Watch". I poked my nose into Zach Braff's blog and found it to be interesting and entertaining to read including the many 100s of fans' comments.
Here's my question to all celebrities with blogs: "Is it really YOU or is it a hired ghostwriter?" {grin}
I had to ask, and I know I'm not the only one out here in cyberspace who is wondering the same thing. I've been blogging off/on for many years I know how time consuming (and addictive it can be). Three cheers to celebrities that can keep it going with their buzzzzy schedules.
