Time for reader mail! I’m quite a bit backlogged, so I apologize on how long it took to post this. Most all questions I try to respond too via email right away though. Keep them coming! As to why there was such a long dry spell with the blog: To make a long story short I took a new job at a company 1,000 miles away in Charleston, South Carolina. At the time we moved my wife was about nine months pregnant. Our first child, a beautiful baby girl was born July 7th. Check out the Flickr album here if you’re curious. Thanks for everyone’s patience and kind words of encouragement during this lull in activity. Now on to the mail!
I’m loving what I’m seeing of your site so far and greatly appreciate the tutorials that you’re making available. I’ll be picking up your book when it becomes available, but in the meantime might you be able to recommend a reference that deals with using Fireworks for design? Are there any books that you consider indispensable? Thanks, and I look forward to future postings!-Chris
Thank you for the kind words Chris! As for your question regarding Fireworks literature, sadly I can’t recommend anything. The bulk of books that have been released for Fireworks over the years typically illustrate how to use the tools individually, as opposed to demonstrating how to use them in a workflow. If anyone has any recommendations for Chris please leave them in the comments!
I have noticed the following on some blogs:
“This is a preview of Fire Up Your Butt: Part 3. Read the full post (421 words, 5 images, estimated 1:41 mins reading time)”
Please tell me what WordPress plugin you use for this and where can i download it.-Boris
The plugin I use that you’re describing is called “Evermore”. You can download it here.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Will your tutorial work with FireWorks MX?
2. Will your series cover how to open WordPress Blog in my site so I am able to see my navigation buttons? Just like your site?
-Lynn
I’ll admit that I haven’t used Fireworks MX in quite a long time, but for the most part in this series we’re keeping things pretty simple. In the event my exact instructions don’t match the version of Fireworks you’re using, it could be that that particular feature or option was moved in later versions of the software. Look around the user interface to find a solution, or if you get stuck just leave a comment or contact me through my form on this site!
As for Wordpress theming, this question comes up quite often. As such, I’ll be writing a tutorial on the basics of Wordpress customization later on. Thanks Lynn!
If anyone else has questions just shoot me a note with the contact button above, or if it’s specific to a tutorial just leave it in the comments. Thanks everyone!
