I gave a live presentation on Adobe.com about DreamWeaver CS3 today
Adobe invited me to give a 45 minute case study presentation regarding the Wesley College web site design project that we recently completed at Delaware.net.
There were over 1,000 attendees watching the presentation who had lots of questions about the project. I demonstrated how we build the new web site and how we managed the project from beginning to end, from prototyping the design, through using our Team-Logic CRM system for managing the project, to integrating AJAX and building mass-eMail eCards using Flash.
The presentation was delivered over the web using Acrobat Connect Pro (formerly Breeze), and I really liked the interface and the performance of it. There were about 5 Adobe employees who helped me with giving the presentation, and we did a trial run of the presentation last week. I couldn’t have done the presentation with out their help (Thanks Adobe!) This was my first time using Adobe Connect for a webinar, and I must say that I am very impressed with it as a webinar tool. The VOIP quality and desktop-sharing worked without a hitch. I am running dual 23″ monitors on Vista, and it still ran great with no issues.
I answered close to 30 questions from attendees, and I still did not get to answer every question that was asked. There were a lot of questions about our Team-Logic project management system, and other questions about what CMS systems we recommend for small web sites. If you attended the seminar and you still have a question about it, feel free to post a reply to this thread and I will answer it.. All comments on this blog are moderated, so I will have to answer your question before you can see it posted here on my blog.
Once again, I would like to thank Adobe for the opportunity to share how we build web sites and how we use Adobe tools for our work. I hope to do more presentations for Adobe in the future for some of their other products that we use, including ColdFusion, Illustrator, Photoshop, and more.
The presentation should be available next week to watch after they have edited it and uploaded it. I also posted a PDF of the presentation here with this post. The link at the top of the article should forward you to a copy of the webinar once they post it.

[...] It has been rumored that say that blogging will reach 45 million blogs soon. That is a lot of people with a lot to say. But most small or medium sized businesses neglect to write on. Heck, I’m going out on a limb to say that most SMBs and SMEs have people in their organizations who do not know what a blog is. Learn, quickly… First, a blog is a great way to disseminate information and “get the word out.” The best part, for the most part it is free. Second, if you have a Website, it is a great way to drive traffic to your Website. My friend John McKown owner of Delaware.net just wrote a great article about a presentation he made about a Website they built. If that does not drive credibility and kudos, I do not know what does.
