The beta release of Dreamweaver CS4 is available for download at Adobe Labs. The beta release is good for 2 days of tinkering unless you provide your serial number from Dreamweaver CS3, Creative Suite 3 Web Standard, Web Premium, or Design Premium. You can then get a serial for the Dreamweaver CS4 beta and it will be extended until the final release is made available.

We just posted the first of several free AdSense-ready Dreamweaver templates. AdSensation is a simple tableless layout that includes pre-styled code for the most popular AdSense ad block sizes. The template includes a prominant 728×90 leaderboard ad at the top of the page, a 160×600 skyscraper down the left sidebar and a 250×250 square block at the top of the content section. A CSS style is included for 428×60 banners and the code can easily be modified to fit any other AdSense ad size.
The navigation is pure CSS with code that is very easy to modify. The free template includes the original sliced and optimized Adobe Fireworks file, so creating a completely custom look should only take a matter of minutes.

We’ve been hearing a lot about CSS Menu Writer over the last couple of months and it’s finally here. Just released by WebAssist, CSS Menu Writer takes the hassle out of creating CSS menu navigation in Dreamweaver.
Menu Writer is a Dreamweaver extension that creates horizontal or vertical website menus through a tabbed wizard interface, similar to CSS Sculptor. As with Sculptor, Eric Meyer had a hand in making sure Menu Writer menus are standards compliant and valid CSS and HTML. The extension installs just like any other in Dreamweaver, and is accessible through the WebAssist toolbar.

7/31/08 UPDATE: There has just been a new Dreamweaver extension for WordPress themes released called ThemeDreamer. Created by Virtuosoft, ThemeDreamer allows you to visually create and edit WordPress themes in Dreamweaver’s design view.
ThemeDreamer combines the WordPress header, sidebar, comments, footer, etc files into one live page in design view so you can easily edit your blog code or CSS file. We used it to create our new SoulVision theme that is available for download on our free WordPress themes page. ThemeDreamer is available now with a free trial download.
Back to original post:
We enjoy making Dreamweaver templates almost as much as WordPress themes. WordPress is a great blog platform to create themes for due to it’s simple code and the modularization of the page components. There are various ways to create a WordPress theme, but I prefer to use Dreamweaver for theme customizing.
It’s not difficult to customize a WordPress theme if you know a few shortcuts. If you prefer to code themes from scratch, there are several Dreamweaver WordPress extensions that simplify the task of inserting the required WordPress code. We have several listed on our WordPress tools page. The easiest way to create a custom theme for your blog is to download an existing theme that has the basic layout you want and customize the CSS and graphic elements to suit your needs.

We did this affiliate marketing website template because we see way too many really bad squeeze pages. We don’t care for squeeze pages to begin with, but we thought we could at least help some affiliate marketers make a better presentation.
It basically takes the concept of the squeeze page and applies some eye candy to it. There are multiple box styles, a page curl box, formatted blockquote for testimonials, a photo testimonial format, a styled opt-in email form, a coupon-style box and more.
We had fun doing this template and we got a little humorous with the template preview. Just don’t take any of the information seriously please. You can preview FreshSqueeze or go to our website templates page for more information and templates.
