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.

Web design is very close to art, if not one of the visual arts itself. No one will either dispute or doubt that no web design is possible without creativity, like any other design. The appearance of the site and the way it looks like is usually determined by a designer’s artistic vision. It’s true that while surfing the net you won’t like all the sites you see. One of the main reasons why the web site can be rather unsuccessful is the exceeded number of things that designers tend to include in them. So, the question is – where’s the finish line to stop working on your website design?

1. The main thing that can be really helpful is your own personal feeling, intuition, instinct, the sixth sense, call it whatever you want. It’s your internal voice that tells you to stop creating because one more element and the page will be cluttered. However, not all designers have it and there are many who always think that the work is never finished (frankly speaking, I belong to those unlucky ones). Sometimes designers are induced to stop even earlier than they want, when the clients tell them to.

2. Step away from your work for a little while. Start doing something else and the next day have a look at it. If the piece you are working on still feels ok, probably it is really ok and there’s no need to include anything else in it. However, sometimes reviewing the web design work after a break can refresh your mind and bring in some cool ideas.
