Last month I was invited to become a member of the Team Macromedia programme for Fireworks.

Team Macromedia is a community based programme made up of Macromedia customers such as myself, who share their product expertise with the world-wide Macromedia community.
Our mission as Team Macromedia members is to provide high caliber peer-to-peer communication educating and improving the product skills of Macromedia customers worldwide.
I hope to contribute to Team Macromedia by continuing to foster interest amongst the community in the Extensibility of Macromedia Fireworks, and also in the continued development and ‘sharing’ of non-commercial Fireworks Extensions.
Check out my bio on the Team Macromedia pages and keep an eye out for me on the Fireworks forums.

I re-opened my Macromedia Contribute Auction on ebay as my winning bidder from last time round pulled out. :(
Starting price of �4.99 plus �2.00 postage. The auction ends on the 16th of July. Happy bidding. :)
Macromedia have made the very sensible decision to set up a bunch of ‘product’ RSS feeds to allow individuals to keep up to date with product related news. You can see the full list here.
