This blog has been a long time in coming for me as there is so much information out on the web for so many things but I wanted to start commenting on things that I find useful in my everyday web development and those are Extensions for Dreamweaver and Fireworks.


First if you have never used extensions with Dreamweaver and Fireworks you are missing out on a lot of added capability enhancements that could make your job as a developer or designer so much easier.


I am going to start by talking about various extensions that I use daily and give their good points and bad points and links to the developers of the extensions.

Besides Webassist extensions I would like to list some of my favorites that I can't do without.  Some of these are free and others have a nominal price but well worth every penny.


CMX Extra Buttons for Dreamweaver- This one is a Got to have.

Put Image from page- This extension lets you select the image on the page and upload without having to browse to it in your site manager.

Go To Line Column- Ever get those errors where it tells you the line and column number of your error and it is like 999 just type in the line number in this extension and it will take you right to it no need to scroll through lines and lines of code finding the right place.


Well that's it for my first post.  Stay tuned for in depth analysis of several of these extensions mentioned.
