According to CNET, Adobe has released more information about the some-what anticipated Creative Suite 4 (CS4). Adobe says they will begin sales on all major Adobe products with the CS4 suffix on October 15th, 2008. Many of their major products have had betas for the last few months, such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
From the developer videos and interviews, I've noticed the biggest improvements are specifically in the new Flash CS4; including new rigging features as seen in a previous post. I'll be getting the CS4 versions of Flash, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver so expect a full review of these programs prior to October 15th.

Have you ever gone to the clothing store and thought to yourself, "I bet I could design a t-shirt" but was too lazy to buy the products required to do so? I don't know who hasn't, so CustomDropShipper is perfect for anyone with a creative flair.
CustomDropShipper basically allows anyone to create a large variety of merchandise with their own art or logo. All you need to do to get started is sign up and create your very own online store. Choose the products you wish to customize (t-shirts, coffee mugs, wallets, hats... the list goes on) then upload your art or logo. The website will automatically put your content onto the merchandise. Once you've finished, your content will be in your own store and available to the public.
If you're very serious about promoting your store, you can upgrade your account for a low price. This new VIP account gives you extra features and a lower base price. Definitely recommended!
There hasn't been any "huge" news on Photoshop CS4 yet, but some things have sneaked by over the last few months that most of us have missed. Though, you may remember a topic I posted in the forum showing a screenshot of it awhile ago. Well, here's some video to confirm it:
I look forward to the new features, but we'll have to see if it's worth the price for an upgrade.
I've finally began something I should have done a long time ago, which is try to get Flashindustries as popular as possible. I use to advertise quite a bit back in late 2005 - 2006 and it worked a lot. Those were when FI use to get over a thousand of posts a day. So today I started changing things around, just basic Search Engine Optimization.
I'm also going to be looking for more sites to affiliate with. I'm going to position the affiliated sites better so it's more attractive to other web masters to link with us. If you want to affiliate with Flashindustries, simple contact me or fill at the form on the affiliate page.
The final thing I'm going to do is spread the word. This is the best way to attract new users. So if you know someone who loves flash and a great community, invite them to Flashindustries.
