Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. Dreamweaver, in my opinion has always been the leader in Web design/development. Its sleek design and massive array of features have made it the premier software for web designers, coders and developers. The Latest release from Adobe, Dreamweaver CS5, part of the Creative Suite 5, is no exception. A back-end upgrade to its predecessor CS4. New visible features as well as some intense code has made CS5 a dream.

To begin with, Dreamweaver CS5, has an improved GUI (Graphical User Interface), the ability to switch between menu interfaces for easy access. It has three distinct menu styles, ensuring you can feel comfortable with its GUI.

Dreamweaver CS5 also features a brand-new browser. Yes, a browser. This browser has all the common, back, forward etc. buttons. Why is a Browser found in Dreamweaver? Its all to increase productivity, this view allows you to view your page in Live mode, with several Browser mimic so you can see how your site will look on Mozilla FireFox, Internet Explorer and Safari to name a few. This will allow you to produce cross-browser themes/templates.

Dreamweaver CS5 also allows you to dynamically edit PHP files you have running on a sever. IN addition to being able to turn PHP ‘off’. IF you are running Content Management systems such as WordPress, Drupal etc. Dreamweaver allows you to edit the files and view the result instantaneously, granted that you have set up the CMS and the sever inside of Dreamweaver CS5.

Overall Dreamweaver CS5 is more amazing than ever. With new extensions being released everyday, this Dreamweaver will keep you on your toes.

AS you guys know, I am not very experinced when it comes to life, I recently have learned that there alot of things that I take for granted, for one, my confidence, I am confident in the online world, yet I am not in the real world. This saddens me.

But I will have to make due with it. So I hope you guys will join me as I get ready to write CXC in May/June and as I attempt to make your blogging life much easier

Unfortunately I must go away for this period With my CXC exams coming up in January, (Time Table Here). I have to ensure I get full Grade 1′s and distinctions, these exams are important as I will need them to work  for the rest of my life. I sit these exams privately in January but I will write it again in May/June as a school student (ie not privately, but though the school).

If you see the Time Table you would also see it ending on January 19th, I am taking the rest of the month to finish off labs and SBAs (School-Based Assessments).

I thank all of you all who are subscribed, please stay subscribed.

I will be returning ever so often to post theme’s and templates, nothing major but its better than nothing at all.

Thanks again for all of your wonderful support You guys rock.

Your Blog is a good blog. You work hard on your blogs. You will as if you connect with your readers. Everything is fine and dandy in your blogs own little world. So What’s the problem? Your blog doesn’t have the content, and you have been seriously lacking, where it be personal or work, your blog is seeing little new content.

Impacting Negatively

On Your Blog? Nope. If your blog has content worthy of being read, then it will get around. Your Readers on the other hand. You will lose. Yes you will lose. If they see that your content isn’t being updated then chances are they won’t check back, or they will have other feeds above yours. Or worst yet, the unsubscribe. This mustn’t happen.

Cost Effective Solution

When you are looking for content for your blogs, you should take into account your readers tolerance. Some have high tolerance for insanity and some of them doesn’t. Basically what I mean is that many readers come for only one thing and one thing alone. They don’t really care about what else you have to offer. Unless you can persuade them otherwise.

If you want, you could always hire a couple writers to keep the content fresh if you can’t. But if your like me, and have no money, then you could always convince them to put the content on your blog, and have a link back to their blog.

But you see the problem, right? You get the content you need, just to survive, but you also send traffic that way. It is actually a good thing. By showing support actually you build networks, and by building networks, you can help yourselves when you help others. Same principle as having a friend. You help them, they help you.

Now if you decide that your going to do everything yourself, with no help, then you should start brainstorming.

Brainstorming Tips/Ideas

Before brainstorming it is a good idea to remove all distractions. Everything from the sounds of your home/office to the melodies of the birds singing (don’t shoot them with a shotgun though).  If you need music and such to concentrate, then by all means concentrate. If you intent to brainstorm several complete full ideas, then your going to need a couple hours, or more. Ensure that you have time on your hands.

1. Reading Tutorials – You would be surprised the amount of ideas you can derive for content from these even so simple tutorials
2. Read Other Blogs – But don’t steal their stuff or ideas. The way of writing, their writing tips, etc.
3. Reading In General – This actually works No serious.
4. From Your Everyday life – Yes, even though your life may not be like some rockstars, if you still have a life and this life still shows somethings that are worth taking notice of. I cannot tell you how or where or when, but when life gives you these little tips, you will know.

I hope guys are able to take these tips and expand them for your own blogs (not the article mean people ). I hope they will be useful to you. Just remember brainstorming, is like living, its going to take a while, but your going to love what happens

Okay, so exams are out for the year. Which means, I will be going full throttle into all of my work. You guys can expect alot out of HavocDynamics and twisted sick little head. I have 4 themes to finish and put up here. They will come both in the NanoCMS and WordPress Theme formats, as well as the raw Xhtml/CSS.

As for the site itself, posts every couple days, I really need to make this a habit. It is alot of work, I don’t like to put up stuff, when I don’t have stuff to back it up.

This was just a quick update, so you guys would know, that I’m alive.

Every now and again, your WordPress blog will come under the attack of you not taking care of the technical aspects of your blog. In fact, even I didn’t notice it. I lost all of my contents today, as a result of not taking care of my wordpress technicalities. It was sad, I thought I had lost almost all 110 posts on my blog. But at last I have gotten them back.

You should know, that your WordPress Blog has two faces, the Visual Face and the Tech Face. We always take of the visual face vefore anything else as we like to present ourselves well. We must remember though that without the code, our visual presentation means nothing.

So here are 4 tips for keeping WordPress Blog In Good Shape.

1. Repair Databases – Inside your phpMyAdmin, you should check all of your boxes and hit the repair function, this will ensure that your tables within your databases are always ready to be called upon.
2. Trim Databases – Often your database may contain tables with content that is old and not necessary for the functioning of your site, such as StatPress information, trackers, etc. These should be cleared every month or so.
3. Keeping Your Database Backed Up – Yes, I shouldn’t have to tell you, but you should back up your database at least once a week, your never know what freak of nature will take all of your hard work and pour it down the drain.
4. Separating Your Blogs – Be careful when hosting several different blogs, especially platforms on a single database, some platforms may or may not have the same table name, and even so, a slight mix up on your path may mean suffering for all of your blogs. I host all of my sites on different MySQL databases (partially because most are huge.)

In addition there are many other things you can do to ensure a faster, more efficient database, but I am not a database tech. I hope some of tips are useful to you all.
