Just a quick note:

I've dusted off the master copy of The Ultimate Rapidweaver Book and I am starting the process of updating it.

I should take a few weeks to make sure it's right. The fast start movie will be updated too.

More soon

I have been a bit lax on writing newsletters. Actually, I have been lax on writing posts on my blog too.

Time to rectify that...

Rapidweaver 5 has been out for a while now. I have been waiting for things to settle in on some of the features before doing updates to my eBooks. Though much of the information in my books is still relevant, the location and layout of RW has changed in a few ways. Most notably the removal of Assets and the addition of Resources for adding files to a site project.

Assets was easy to use but could put a burden on the site size and time to upload or republish a site. Resources paves the way to a more lightweight RW Project File and use of the resources site wide. I'm still an advocate of using warehouse folders on your server and linking to these files from within your project. This truly keeps your RW Project File light and fast.

It's finally time to start updating my books with new screenshots, rewrites of some of the text and get updates out to everyone. This may take me a month to do as I have a lot of projects for clients on my plate right now. I will release each update as I get them done.

One important thing to note; if you own and are using FormLoom Styles #9 and #10, where the form is extracted from an exported page and placed back into the RW Project via an HTML page style, the new Resources function will not work for this. FormLoom internal scripts look for certain folders in a specific location and that location no longer exists with the Resources function. The URL or Relative location of the files gets broken in the process of setting up FromLoom as specified in my custom style setup for FormLoom Style #10.

The upshot is, if you have a site using FormLoom Style #10 for a multi column form, keep using RW 4 for that site unless you want to change the form on that site another style or native FormLoom output. I will be looking to find an alternative way to do this in RW5, but in the meantime be careful about moving a site to RW5 with this special form layout.

I hope that 2011 has started out great for you and things are looking up. It has been an interesting few years. There's an old Chinese saying: "May you live in interesting times". That we do. Determining if this saying is a blessing or a curse my be unique to who is reading it...

As alway, thank you for your support. Watch for updates as soon as I can get them done.

Squeeze 4.2 with ExtraContent areas is here!

For current owners this is be a free update. Watch your inbox for an email with a link to download this update.

4.2 incorporates four ExtraContent areas and two in a new and unique way! I have also added some color picker variations for these EC areas.

Also added are Border Styles in the Variations Panel, updated IE6 and IE7 support especially for PNG images in IE6.

All the css has been refined as well as the many other internal things. This will not overwrite your current version of Squeeze. 4.2 will install as a separate theme choice in the theme drawer.

Squeeze 4.2 supports 1 level of sub menus (drop downs) in all browsers. This is the same as Squeeze 3.6. I have built in 4+ levels of drop downs but these should only be used if you are not concerned about IE6.

I had always meant this theme to be simple, clean and keep the navigation that way too.

Otherwise, all other browsers like it.

If you don't already have Squeeze in your theme drawer then take advantage of the Discount Coupon Code: SUMMERUPDATE and get this theme for only $9.95 (normally $12.95). But hurry, this discount only lasts until June 15th.

It's finally happened. I have opened up the master file for RWCSS and working on an update.

It's amazing, but after a year and a half the book is 98% relevant. The first thing I am working on is reformatting the book to make it easier to copy and paste the css and html out of the pages directly instead of looking for it in the css document included with the book.

I also have a few things I want to add the book. As they make it into the book I will post here about them. I don't want to state what they are just in case some don't make the cut.

So stay tuned for more information soon.
