Freeway 5 Related How-To's

Update Your Links

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 01:44:00 -0500

Finally, and I mean it, I've gone ahead and created a ScreenSteps Pro manual using Freeway 5. It wasn't as hard as I expecting, but I was stuck at a spot that turned out to be just a closing tag was missing in the template. Who knew a start tag needed an end tag? :) With that said this FWTuts site is now unbelievably easier to update which was the hope of taking the time to do this in the first place. But with every success there are some casualties and like any good story a feature must be killed off and that is the mobile iPhone versions. These frankly were not generating any results and people who were viewing the site on their mobile devices were often under 10 people a month. So to those 8-10 people, I apologize. If you tell your friends who have iPhones / iPods perhaps I'll reconsider it.

With that said there is one new feature that was requested. That feature would be that now the tutorials are broken up into categories. This will help people skip the stuff they didn't necessarily come looking for and get right to the good stuff.

It is also important to note that all the links to the pages have changed, but not the URL to the main page. This is just how it works in the software, so I have no control over that. So, as the title of this feed says, update your links and stay tuned.
