			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.snacktools.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/flash.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" />Starting Monday night, we can download the <strong>Flash-to-HTML5 conversion tool</strong> codenamed <strong>Wallaby</strong> from the Adobe website.</p>
<p>With this conversion tool you can convert .fla files (the Flash source file format) into HTML5, but you can&#8217;t convert SWF into HTML5. So, at this moment, you must find a way to decompile the .swf files into .fla and then convert them to HTML5.</p>
<p>This is an experimental technology and this first relese of Wallaby is supposed to give Adobe a lot of great feedback from more than 3 million Flash developers. Finally, this conversion tool will bring more content made with Flash tehnology onto iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad.</p>
<p>You can download <strong>Wallaby Flash-to-HTML5</strong> conversion tool from <a href="http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/wallaby.html" target="_blank">here</a> and this is a video where you can see how this tool work!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For me <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr</a> is that online place where I can put anything I want and also share it with my friends and the whole world. Photos, videos, music, links…everything I find on the internet and I like.</p>
<p>And I like Tumblr because it&#8217;s very easy to use. I can store and share things via email or phone. From this point of view I even like it more than Facebook. <img src='http://www.snacktools.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I can find the things I share more easly</p>
<p>Anyway, when I&#8217;m on my desktop or laptop and I want to keep and share something with my friends via Tumblr, I like to use different web apps from our SnackTools family. And today I would like to show you how can you insert a photo slideshow made with PhotoSnack on Tumblr.</p>
<p><span id="more-2533"></span></p>
<h2>Create a photo slideshow with PhotoSnack</h2>
<p>1. Login into <a title="photo slideshow" href="http://www.photosnack.com" target="_blank">PhotoSnack</a><br />
2. Upload pictures from your computer or from other sources like Facebook, Flickr etc<br />
3. Chose template and customize it. Change colors, size or add music<br />
4. Publish your slideshow and copy the embedded code into Tumblr</p>
<h2>Insert photo slideshow into Tumblr blogpost</h2>
<p>1. Login in Tumblr and go to <em>Account</em> &#8211; <em>Preferences</em> where you will check &#8220;<em>plain text/HTML</em>&#8221; option. Don&#8217;t forget to save preferences!<br />
2. Go to dashboard and choose &#8220;<em>Text</em>&#8221; option. Be sure that you have &#8220;<em>HTML enabled</em>&#8221;<br />
3. Paste the embedded code of the slideshow, create a title, choose some tags and URL format<br />
4. Preview first, maybe you want to make some changes and than publish.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s it! Please send us your Tumblr post via <a href="http://twitter.com/SnackTools" target="_blank">Twitter</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/snacktools" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, if you use one of our web apps.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I found a great and simple application called <strong><a href="http://www.bounceapp.com/" target="_blank">Bounce</a></strong>. It&#8217;s &#8220;a fun and easy way to share ideas on a website&#8221; (in their own words). Developed by <a href="http://www.zurb.com/" target="_blank">Zurb</a>, a popular web design agency that has all of our admiration, the application allows you to make a screen-shot of a site, make notes and share them with friends or customers. Simple idea, right?</p>
<p>I like tools like this: practical and easy to use, user friendly. <strong>This is how it works</strong>:</p>
<p>1. Write the URL of a website</p>
<p>2. They provide a screenshot in just a few moments</p>
<p>3. Then you can give it a name and a title, add notes (no restrictions, you can add ass many as you like)</p>
<p>4. Save your screenshot and notes</p>
<p>5. Then share them with your friends using a URL provided by Bounce or post it on Facebook or Twitter. Your friends can give you feedback.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s perfect for web designers that want opinions about their work  or for website owners with the same intentions. What do you think about the app?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Need a little color inspiration for your design projects? Or perhaps to get ideas on how to paint the room. There are a lot of websites that can help you create an awesome color palette, but from what we&#8217;ve seen, we recommend these 5 websites.</p>
<p><strong>1. </strong><a href="http://www.colourlovers.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Colourlovers</strong></a> was made to inspire web designers, people fascinated by home decoration or fashion, wedding invitation designers and event decorators.

You can also create a nice background for your Twitter page in just a few minutes, check out the application <a href="http://www.colourlovers.com/themeleon/twitter" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>One word description: rich </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.snacktools.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/colourlovers1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="colourlovers1" src="http://www.snacktools.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/colourlovers1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="340" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>2. </strong><a href="http://kuler.adobe.com" target="_blank"><strong>Kuler</strong></a><em> </em>is  the spot you have to go if you need <strong>color combination</strong><em><strong>s</strong>. </em>Developed by Adobe, Kuler is an application for generating color schemes for any project you can imagine. There are thousands of themes already created by members and you can browse through them using the tags that members associated with their palette.</p>
<p>If you want to create a new theme, you can start from a color or from an image. It&#8217;s the kind of tool that you can play with for hours.</p>
<p><strong>One word description: inspiring</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.snacktools.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/kuler1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="kuler1" src="http://www.snacktools.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/kuler1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="340" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>3. <a href="http://www.colorcombos.com" target="_blank">Color Combos</a> </strong>was build to help web developers quickly select and test website color combinations. They offer tools to see how different color palettes would look on the screen and a library where users share their combinations for some inspiration.</p>
<p>If you have some favorite websites that look nice, just grab the url and let ColorCombos suggest some colors from those sites. Or you can just browse different categories like aqua, lemon, green, peach and others to find a color scheme.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>4. <a href="http://aviary.com/tools/toucan" target="_blank">Toucan</a></strong> is a little more sophisticated tool, compared to the others in this list. Developed by Aviary, it was made to encourage you to create and play with color pallets. You can increase up to 20 or go down to only 3 colors in your scheme and you can customize it in many many ways. The possibilities are endless.</p>
<p>Aviary released several more online tools, among which an image editor and an effects editor, so the palette created with Toucan can be imported and used in these tools. I think that&#8217;s a great plus for Toucan users.</p>

<p><strong>5. </strong><a href="http://www.colorhunter.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Colorhunter</strong></a> is a very simple tool that lets you create colorful schemes from your images. All you have to do is browse a photo from your computer or insert a URL.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d like to tell you about a great website that I found last week. It is a community of well opinionated people that want to help. <strong><a href="http://www.conceptfeedback.com/" target="_blank">Concept Feedback</a></strong> was made  to give helpful suggestions to web designers, developers and marketers, for their projects before going online.</p>
<p>This is how it works:</p>
<p>1. Upload and share the project you&#8217;ve been working on</p>
<p>2. Then, you&#8217;ll receive feedback from the professionals in the community</p>
<p>3. Improve your concept and give back to the community by helping others</p>

<p>Hi again lovely people! How was this week for you? We have<strong> two reasons to be very happy</strong>: first, that spring is here and second because we launched a new product &gt;&gt; PodSnack. So happy that we could sing a song &#8230; well play it on a playlist.</p>
<p>Enough with us, let me share with you some interesting links that I think you will like.</p>
<p>Joshua Johnson writes about <a href="http://bit.ly/cdZhTO" target="_blank">10 ways to make your customers love you</a>. I&#8217;m sure you know a lot of things from his list but they are so important that sometimes we need to review them. His article was a good way to start the week. Loved it.</p>
<p>Are you a designer? Or an aspiring one? You should check this awesome list of <a href="http://arbent.net/blog/outstanding-free-ebooks-on-design" target="_blank">design related ebooks</a>. Valuable content.</p>
<p>Also for you, talented guys, we have another list: <a href="http://mashable.com/2010/03/23/social-media-design-tools/" target="_blank">Social media design tools</a>, an article that was posted on Mashable. See how the autors came up with the blog post  &#8220;We’ve talked to the experts about what they use for inspiration, collaboration, and getting down to the business of design in a social media world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Have you seen this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH0aEp1oDOI" target="_blank">video</a> that got a lot of designers enthusiastic about a new feature in Photoshop?  People tweeted about the video, wrote tons of comments and post it on a lot of blogs. It is a promise that something magic will happen soon in the most popular image editor, something that a lot of photoshopers expect because it will make their work much much easier.</p>
<p>Here is a brilliant piece of information if you want to know how to spread the word about what you do or sell <a href="http://www.drewsmarketingminute.com/2010/03/social-media-cheat-sheet.html" target="_blank">Social Media Cheat Sheet</a>.  It gives the answer to a very important question (also for us) &#8220;<strong>How do I know which social media sites to use?</strong>&#8221; Don&#8217;t you think this is a gold mine? It puts order in my mind. Thank you Drew!</p>
<p>A little inspiration for this weekend? I thought so &#8230; <a href="http://www.instantshift.com/2010/03/24/66-mind-blowing-photo-manipulations-art/" target="_blank">66 mind blowing photo manipulation art</a>.</p>
<p>To end this blog post I&#8217;ll just add a little eye candy: photos that celebrate the<a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/03/20/the-beauty-of-india-50-amazing-photos/" target="_blank"> beauty of India</a>. Color, mystery, contrast &#8230;</p>
<p>Hope you will have a beautiful and full of energy weekend, just like the first days of springs.</p>
