acclaimed tool for auto-typing text system-wide across all Mac OS X

abbreviation and Typinator will insert the corresponding HTML code and
place the insertion point appropriately.
"Regardless what tool they are using, most web designers are typing plain
HTML code all the time, sometimes at least assisted by their HTML editor.
And most guys who type plain HTML code are keyboard junkies, who want to
move their hands off the keyboard only when absolutely necessary," said

SociaLink version 1.0: Dreamweaver Extension
Lexington, KY, June 2, 2008 -- RNSoft President & CEO Ronald Northrip today
announced the immediate availability of SociaLink version 1.0, a
Dreamweaver extension for placing Web 2.0 Social Bookmarking tools into
webpage layouts.
Social Bookmarking websites like Digg or Del.icio.us allow readers to tag,
store and share content that they find interesting -- and if that is your
content it can lead to a lot more traffic. And not just lots of clicks, but
quality readers who are likely to get more from your site and give more in
return.
All you need to do is give those readers a little button on your page for
them to click on. You can make a link, right? Well actually its a little
piece of javascript. A different javascript for each social bookmarking
site. With different parameters for each one. Not to mention opening in a
new window or not. And they take up a lot of room in your layout, too.
But it doesn't have to be that hard. SociaLink can add all that
functionality to your web...
