The yellow color has come into fashion not only in clothes but also in web sites. Discover the top ten most “fashionable” yellow sites of the season.

The soft yellow color of this site will warm your sight and make you … wonder what it’s all about. This is actually the site from a photographer Joe Grisham. Take a look. Apart from being color yellow the site is very trendy from the point of view of web design.

Men with yellow faces and without eyes, noses, lips… This is what you get if your website is not compelling, according to this design studio. So, yellow is not only a bright color, it is also a color of blank.

The same idea of yellow emptiness is conveyed the next site, but this time it is applied to a non-living object, such us space around us.

A new updated version of Adobe Flash Player has been released by Adobe Systems Incorporated. This edition is now at the disposal of two main search engines on the web- Google and Yahoo! Google is already using it while Yahoo! specialists are still working on its implementation.

The new function available in this new version of Player consists in indexing dynamic content of swf-objects. This will be achieved by the bot acting like a virtual visitor clicking on buttons and links etc which will download dynamic content of Flash (and Flex) sites invisible to bots before.

So, rather good news, I should say. Google has been able to index Flash to some extend before and now this ability has been substantially enhanced. Flash-skeptics can leave their worries aside and let web masters create RIA with their stunning looks.

From now on you can enjoy the benefits of Flashmint’s Flash templates without worrying how SE-friendly they are. They are Google-friendly and will soon be Yahoo!-friendly. So, this is a new milestone in further making Flash a common sight on the web.
