Adobe Releases GoLive 9 Quietly
Adobe has just released what is probably the last version of its GoLive series. For those unfamiliar with the application, GoLive was Adobe’s WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web authoring tool before they bought Macromedia. This release seems to be aimed at users of earlier versions of GoLive as a parting gift, since it seems that Dreamweaver will be Adobe’s only web authoring tool in the future. Dreamweaver has replaced GoLive in the CS3 Suite.
GoLive 9 can only be downloaded. There will be no boxed version. What’s interesting is that on GoLive’s product page, there’s a section that asks users if they’re interested in switching to Dreamweaver.
What I really liked about GoLive was its “layout grid” feature. Can anyone who has Dreamweaver tell me if the editor has something similar?

The newest CS3 version of Dreamweaver has a grid as well
My memory is a little fuzzy but I think there was an option to turn on a grid in older versions of Dreamweaver too. Don’t quote me on that though

I really do like Dreamweaver, but these web design applications just aren’t nearly as needed as they used to be. So many people are going to blogs instead creating sites from scratch. For commerical use, Dreamweaver is the way to go.
Brown, what do you use it for?

It makes me kind of think about it– why do they release it quietly? It came out and I didn’t even know until I read your blog here.
Maybe it’s like you said– a good-bye gift.

Haha! I really thought they already abandoned GoLive. It’s like the FrontPage days of Microsoft. But Adobe did a good job of providing an option for their old school customers to switch to their flagship Web editor. They could have provided a video tutorial as well on migrating to Dreamweaver.
In relation to this, I also thought they discontinued ColdFusion in favor of the newer technologies like Flex and Spry and because of the larger market share of ASP.NET/MS SQL/ACCESS and PHP/MySQL. But I guess they couldn’t do it.

This ins’t really a comment on this topic…. but it’s been bugging me so I checked it out.. Do you know that in IE you have code showing at the top of your blog? Doesn’t show in FireFox, but it does in IE, specifically the code is: #wp_grins img { cursor: hand; } I use both browsers to make sure my sites show up correctly and make any needed corrections… but it was bugging me and I thought maybe you never noticed it, it’s at the very top of the page…

@Mike:
The layout in GoLive would let you place any page element exactly where you wanted it to. Pixel precision in fact. Hmm lemme check out Dreamweaver
@Listikal:
From time to time I make websites for clients, they don’t believe me when I tell them that a blog could be used as a cms too
@Grace:
They could have made it a free gift hehe
@Gabriel:
I just remembered that before they had GoLive, they had Pagemill. Geez that was a long time ago
