Alan Musselman – Man…I need more Google Friends

I know that everyone wants to keep in touch with Alan – the top Fireworks Guru! Here is your chance:

Man…I need more Google Friends.

Fireworks Designer is a great new resource

Fireworks Designer, just getting off the ground, will be the premier  go-to place for Fireworks design tips and tricks, downloadable templates, etc., etc. – in short, the blog of an experienced Fireworks professional.  I am adding the rss feed to this blog so I can keep an eye on it. If you use Fireworks for design,  you probably will want to stay tuned as the blog develops.

We finally got around to setting up Fireworks designer to share PNGs that anyone can de-construct or you can start from pre-built templates. Keep a look out for an on-going supply of templates to download! We”ll also find sites and designs created with Fireworks and share them on Fireworks designer. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your visit!
