I can across a free lipstick graphic, modifiable by Adobe Ilustrator and was inspired to download it for a new page. I combined it with a portion of the design element from the header to create the background image in Photoshop.
Finally, I created the template in Adobe Dreamweaver using the same techniques in the How to Create A Wine Affiliate Template Web Page tutorial before publishing the template on the web. It was just a matter of using the “Add Properties” function to insert the images and to set the colors, as shown below…

The graphic you see here was made from the letter alphabet vectors at bittbox.com. The round letters fit the 3D Tunnel Effect very well if you’re using the circle option. Click here to see this 3D tunnel effect flash movie if you’re reading this from a reader or feed directory.
How to Create A Tween Graphic In Illustrator, Import to Flash
The first step to editing the free alphabet vectors is to open up the .ai file and ungroup them by Object > Ungroup. Then ungroup them a second time. On each ungroup be sure that everything is selected.
Select and align your chosen letters. Feel free to use the transform tool via Window > Transform, to space each letter 20pts apart on the X axis with everything consistent on the Y axis.
At this point, you are ready to modify the button colors. Another ungroup is necessary to modify the color of the letters.
After the edits…
Select all, then head to Object > Group.  This will group all of your elements. Now copy them to import them into your flash file. Click Tween 2 in the library of your flash file. (Remember that this is only assuming that your are implementing the How to Add A 3D Tunnel Effect In Flash Tutorial that was discussed previously.) Now that you’re at Tween 2, goto Edit > Paste in Center. Use the settings shown below for the best results…
Your tween graphic is now imported to flash. Be sure to delete the original wipeout44 graphic.
I was looking at the some of the best flash tutorials and decided to create a 3D Tunnel Effect in Flash. This is certainly something that I could add to my GrowLongerNails.com dreamweaver template. It would spruce it up a little more, especially since I’ve already created my first video using Adobe Premier video for purposes of showcasing it.
The “3D Tunnel Effect in Flash” is presented as a tutorial at wipeout44.com. The author provides the source files too, so guess we can call it a free flash template. Now for figuring out how to edit the fla ???
Editing the Color
I ran into the issue of changing the color of the scene to a different blue shade. I found a cool way to change colors via actionscript, but the solution is to create a new shape on top of the scene after selecting your desired color.
Editing the Site Name Tween
If you play the movie, you’ll notice the Wipeout44 site name branding. It took sometime to figure out how to change that to my own adobe-masters.com site name, as shown below…
Its actuallly at tween labeled Tween 2. I’ve decided to use Adobe Illustrator to create my graphic for the tween. So guess what, you’ll have to make a tween and then import it into the flash file if you choose this route. Visit How to Create A Tween Graphic In Illustrator, Import to Flash for guidance.
Whatever you do to create a text or graphic, use the very same Tween 2, while deleting the graphic to replace it with your own graphic or simple text..
Removing Shape Text
Lastly, I was compelled to remove the text in the lower left corner that displayed the shape specification. Just use the selection tool and press delete if you agree.
How to Add 3D Tunnel Effect In Flash to Dreamweaver Template
After editing the free flash template, you’ll want to integrate the html code on your site using dreamweaver or any other html editing software. The html code is found in the html file. As a last effort, publish your new flash movie.
Today is the first time I’ve opened Adobe Premiere Pro with hopes of making my first video. It came with the Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 Master Collection. Adobe Premiere Pro appears to be similar to “Windows Movie Maker”, but with much more features.
I’ve created my first video with the guidance from this Berkely Center page. It wasn’t long before I was importing sound effects, cute girl vectors (mentioned in my wine affiliate template tutorial), and Walmart’s free music download of the week for the music into the video timeline.
I’ve ran into issues of compiling and exporting the video for the web. I came up with How to Put An Adobe Premiere Video on Youtube, Google, Myspace, Yahoo Video Sites.
If your using a premade dreamweaver template or making an affiliate template in dreamweaver from scratch, make sure it contains a spot for meta keywords. Listing keywords on your pages is good for search engine optimization. Keywords, like tags, get crawled all the time, and that makes it easy for web searchers to find your page.
Coming Up With Keywords
Inserting keywords into dreamweaver is not a hard thing to do. Most of your time may be spent thinking of the keywords themselves. Here’s a keyword suggestion tool from SEOBook that can help. Here’s how it works. Let’s say you have a grow longer nails website. If you type in “nails”, the tool will suggest keywords such as long nails, grow nails, nail hardeners, nine inch nails, and nail art designs. What are the suggested keywords for your website? See for yourself.
How to Add Keywords Into Dreamweaver Template
Its real easy. Goto Insert > HTML > Head Tags > Keywords. Click here for a wonderful visual guide.
Add your keywords now. While you’re there insert a description and a meta. It will do your site well!

I’ve upgraded Adobe-Masters.com from Wordpress 2.6 to 2.6.1 last week and ran into the problem of page excerpts not working on the home page.
As a solution I’ve uploaded the the_excerpt Reloaded plugin and used the following code
?php the_excerpt_reloaded(45, '', 'content', true, '', true);?>
inside my index file to display just the excerpts on the main page.
Later, I discovered that when you click on a category, it shows the post within that category in full. This type of presentation is not attractive to readers and excerpt descriptions are more desirable.
The problem arose again when browsing the archives or using the site’s search feature. Lorelle was right. I had to modify the following files to fix the problem: index.php, archives.php, and search.php.
Because I’m using The Excerpt Reloaded plugin, it was a change from
?php the_excerpt() ?>
to
?php the_excerpt_reloaded(45, '', 'content', true, '', true);?>

But first, I’ll have to make a few changes to make it fit my purpose. Here’s the original TemplateWorld logo banner…
I’ve just opened my Adobe Photoshop program and I’d like to get rid of the “redish circle”. Actually, I need to get rid of the text too.
How to Slightly Modify A Header Logo Banner with PhotoShop Layers
Since the template didn’t come with a modifiable psd file, the best way to do so is to add a new layer and place a new circle, custom shape, or a new button on top of the redish to cover it. My decision is to go with one of the free web 2.0 buttons from the “How to Use Free Illustrator Buttons In Photoshop and On Website” tutorial.
So here’s the new button with new text…
I wanted to change the “what’s new” to something different. Thankfully, I had the 200 buttons in the Button for Clicks Software. The package has all types of buttons. There was a yellow image similar so I went ahead and used it on a new layer as you can see below.
But, I’d like to change the black outline to white. Just had to add a stroke in the layer’s blending options.
Changing the scissor image would require at least three new layers covering the backgrounds, so I’ll leave it for now.

Everytime I log into one of my wordpress blogs I see the wordpress logo, and you can see it here. I never had the desire to change it until I saw how another blogger used their own logo image instead.
How to Edit Image On Wordpress Login, Registration Page
The wordpress logo is so much embedded into the wordpress software that it was much easier for me to use the Register Plus Plugin by Skulbit. It was just a simple plugin upload, activation, and configuring the settings. So now the Adobe-Masters.com Registration page is customized!
Thats all folks. Below is a random web design video if your interested!
Very nice flash templates. I downloaded the curvewall3D and edited the xml file for my images. It works fine. However, how do control the number of images in each row? I have 19 images and made sure there was a blank line after every 5 images, but they all still displayed on one line.
Also, your flash places the images randomly. Can that be adjusted to show images in a sequence like a story?
I have the 90 free web 2.0 buttons from Blog Spoon Graphics. Its a very nice collection of buttons that can be used for almost anything. They come in an all-in-one Adobe Illustrator file. Here you’ll discover how to select the button you need, and how to put it in photoshop for editing before adding it to your page.
How to Use Free Illustrator Buttons In Photoshop and On Website
You’ll need Adobe Illustrator to access the web_2_buttons.ai file. After opening the file you’ll notice that they are all grouped together as one. Goto Select > All. That will select each of the 90 buttons. Now goto Object > Ungroup. Now you will see that the buttons are now grouped by colors. Select the color group you like best, then goto Object > Ungroup once again.
If you’d like to publish or share the button, you’ll need to convert its illustrator .ai file type to a .jpg or perhaps a .gif. Simple copy the button and paste it into Adobe Photoshop. Here’s more information on converting images.
Put the Button On Your Site
After the conversion, you should be able to upload the image into Adobe Dreamweaver or any other web publishing software. Alternatively, upload the button onto a free image hosting account, or onto one of your social networking or dating profiles.

Jitneytrade was recommended as an online broker for Canadian stocks, and as the answer to “Where to Buy Canadian Stock?” at the superstockpicker forum. Super Stock Picker mechanically manages a set of portfolios holding only Canadian stocks and they are associated and partnered with Jitneytrade. I’ve never heard of Jitney before so here’s what I found in my research…
Jitney is a Canadian company that was founded in 2001 space by a group of market makers and traders who had worked for more than twenty years on the Montreal Stock Exchange floor.
Jitney operated under a different name last year and was cited for changing its name without approval. It was a simple name change from Jitney Group Inc. to Jitney Trade Inc.
Jitneytrade is listed as a member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund, and with the Investment Dealers Association of Canada at PureTrading. The company recently appointedAjoy Puni as the Vice President of its online division.

This quick tutorial will show you how to set up a flash portfolio using the free Spiral Carousel XML template from flashmo.
I found some cool free flashmo flash templates at the Crazy Leaf Design Blog that can showcase your portfolio on this link. I chose the Spiral Carousel XML template to work with for the purpose of creating a personal portfolio. I’m blogging the steps it takes to set it up. You’ll need Adobe Flash to follow along. Click the button below to see the outcome of this tutorial.
How to Set Up A Flash Portfolio
I wanted to customize this flash movie portfolio to display just a few of the sites I’ve created and manage. (One day I’ll come back and reveal some of my other sites.) After browsing the flashmo files, I came to the conclusion that the thumbnail_list.xml file should be edited in order to show images of my sites.
Website Thumbnail Capturing
The original template displays a movie flash of more than twenty (20) different sites in thumbnails. In order to change the thumbnails to display some of my sites, I used the blogginpro link to websnapr. Websnapr is a thumbnail tool that is very easy to use. I simply entered my site urls to create a 400 X 300 image. Just be sure you’ve typed .jpg after the file name when saving the image (example: latinaontravel.jpg) or it won’t save properly.
Okay, at this point we can head back over to the thumbnail_list.xml file to add the newly created thumbnails to the template. This file can be edited with any editing software. But of course, I’m editing with Adobe Dreamweaver.
For each site thumb, we’ll change the image filename, url, title, and description like so…
<thumbnail
filename=”latinaontravel.jpg”
url=”http://latinaontravel.com” target=”_self”
title=”Latina On Travel”
description=”LatinaOnTravel.com is a hot new Latina travel blog for travel, finance, and real estate. Join us on some of our weekend, summer, and winter vacation getaways. This blog is the perfect read for you if you’re a frequent traveler who loves a good time. Exchange links here, add a top travel site, or you may sponsor a travel review. We will help you to it! ” />
That was just a sample of the code used to upload this thumb. This template will hold unlimited thumbnails so repeat this code as much as you like to display your sites.
Flash File Edits and Template File Uploads
Open the .flv file with Adobe Flash if you wish to edit the text on the flash presentation. It was necessary to goto File > Publish before being able to see my changes. However, the publish automatically changes the HTML file causing the page to not be centered, so you may want to save the original HTML file and revert back after the publish.
Any idea on how to change the color in the flash?
Finally, after creating the site images and editing the thumbnail file, I had to upload the files to my server. Check out the product here.
Basic Plan
( $5.98/month, includes 2 purchases )
The Basic Plan offers a flat rate Plan Purchase commission of just $2.99 per order. The low monthly charge of $5.98 includes two Plan Purchases each month. There is no annual charge associated with the Basic Plan, and additional Plan Purchases cost just $2.99.  The Basic Plan is right for me.
Flex Plan
( $59.99/year, $1.99/purchase )
The Flex Plan has an annual charge of $59.99, and offers a reduced Plan Purchase commission of just $1.99 per order. There are no purchase requirements or minimums associated with the Flex Plan. The Flex Plan is right for me.
Diversified Plan
( $39.99/year, $0.99/purchase )
The Diversified Plan has an annual charge of $39.99, and offers unlimited Plan Purchases for just 99 cents per order. The low monthly charge of $9.90 includes 10 Plan Purchases each month, and additional Plan Purchases cost just 99 cents. The Diverified Plan is right for me.
I just found an interesting article on how Adobe’s product cycle will jump start its stock share price. Adobe was noted as an outperforming top gainer, and analyst see the ADBE as top stock reaching $50 and beyond. Many are holding the stock and volume is above 6 million for active trades.
Adobe Stock Symbol ADBE Targeted at $48, Thumbed Up for $50 Beyond
The best way to invest in Adobe stock is by making fractional share investments. There’s lots of growth in the company because there are so many new products. Fractional share investors have the potential for long term gains at a smaller entry cost. Big time inverstors may prefer “whole ADBE Shares“.
Nice Post! One step I would suggest before creating your resume is to understand that you must differentiate your self from the pack. This can be done in countless ways but be sure to use the most effective methods. Take a step back and look at what you’ve accomplished and/or been apart of within your professional career. How many team projects have you worked on under pressure? How many times have you successfully pitched a new idea to a boss, colleague or team member? How many times have you done more than what is expected from you within your career? Can you display your previous job or career success with numbers? Have you ever been recognized company wide for something you’ve accomplished or been apart of?

I’d like to create another Adobe-Master.com tool for our online community while using the same type logo. However, none of the shapes seems to fit my needs so I’ve set out to find other free photoshop custom shapes.

We resize images all the time. But what if you’re your putting a collage together, or building a website that will display a bunch of pictures? I needed to size images for the left column of the Adobe-Masters.com homepage. Most of the time it will look best if each picture is displayed using the same size dimensions. Here we will discusss how to resize a batch or group of images all at one time for resizing many images.
How to Auto-Resize Image Batches In Photoshop
I found an excellent tutorial at Schwippy.com on Making Thumbnails Automatically in Photoshop. The tutorial is well written and explained well. I was able to follow the tutorial easily and my image batch was resized in about fifteen minutes after setting up the Action Script Pallet.
Basically, you’ll set up a process in Photoshop to get your photos, resize them, and save them as thumbnails. It is accomplished by visiting Windows > Actions to record the process. Then head over to File > Automate > Batch to make it happen.
Selling templates in your sidebar is as easy as it sounds. If you own a website, or even if you’re apart of a social network with a free profile, you have the potential to earn %20 of each template sale.
So what’s the catch? There is no catch. There’s no out of pocket cost. Anyone can sign up to sell templates for free. The only thing for you to do is to post the template on your site.
How to Sell Templates In Your Sidebar
Sidebars are usually big enough to display only one template column, but the number of rows may be about four or five. Check it out, I choose to display one column and one row on Adobe-Masters.com. In other words, I’m displaying only one template at a time.
Displaying templates can happen after signing up and logging in. Choose the “Preset Tools” link, then click “Display templates on your site”. Finally you can choose the template type, color, and the number of rows and columns to show. After generating your preset, simple add the Interface HTML Code to your sidebar (or anywhere).
This blog post will lead you to this site’s first online tool that will let you download videos from your favorite sites. So what does this mean?
Now you can “download youtube videos”, “download myspace videos”, “download google videos”, “download spike videos, “download blip videos”, “download dailymotion videos”, “download break videos”, download metacafe videos”, download current videos”, download eyespot videos”, “download veoh videos”, and “download zippyvideos” all at the Free Online Instant Video Downloader site.
After downloading a video, you’ll be able to store it on your computer to view it in the future. I’ve shared how to view flash videos previously, but the free flv player here is great for viewing the videos you choose to download.
If you visit the forum, you’ll notice adsense on the left sidebar.
After logging into the Administrator Control Panel, goto Styles > Template > Edit. Choose the overall_header.html file. For this particular template, you can simply insert adsense towards the end of the file directly after…
<div class=”arrowlistmenu”>
Dreamweaver Assistance
Other templates may be coded differently, and you may need to edit some other file within the template.
I’d recommended pasting the html into the code section of Adobe Dreamweaver for newbies that may want a better design visual for spotting various code locations.

Stay away from Eau de Click! I placed an order that qualified for free shipping. I only received part of my order and was charged $12 shipping on the $20 part that I received. No word on the remainder of my order; not even a packing slip in the part I received. They don't respond to E-mail and when you call a message says there's no room to leave a message.
