WordPress Extension for Dreamweaver
This was sent to the list by Elana (elfdesigns.com.au) and it is a keeper. It allows you to “see” a theme in dreamweaver. You can adjust things in the CSS and see it right away, instead of either setting up a local server or the tiresome uploading, viewing regimen. Handy if you make your own themes, like many of us to, for your clients. Sweet… and yes, I already bought it. It will be a huge time saver for me.

Ecommerce Magazine | Miva Merchant Consultants | DoublePlus New Media Marketing

While the focus is on Miva Merchant (Susan is a very experienced Miva designer) it offers articles on many aspects of an e-commerce web site. It is geared to those that did/do their own site and have a bit of knowledge on the inner workings of the backend code. And of course, designers who take on all aspects of their client’s e-commerce sites. Some very well written articles, and a nice clean design. Using the Revolution magazine theme. You can see more of this theme, and others like it by heading over to the Revolution Theme site here…

Congrats to Susan on the launch of a very good resource and nicely designed site! Wordpress RULES!
