This year, I got to look at the latest version of Dreamweaver in April. While I couldn't announce it until April 23rd (and I'll have even more to talk about after my intensive session with Adobe in early May!), I was playing with it for a large part of the month. Fun! I also played a bit with some CSS3 tutorials and a couple of editors.
In my part of the world (near Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.), spring is just starting to get underway, and it can be hard for me to stay focused on indoor work when it's so nice outdoors! I love listening to the birds chirping outside my window and the smell of the grass and the bright sunshine. I hope that your April was wonderful, and that you're looking forward to the changes of the seasons, whether it's Spring or Autumn where you are.
