#1. NEW VIDEO: Using a Layout Manager - Time Saver
-------------------------------------------------------

Taking the time to make development faster, ultimately saves you time in the long run. Admittedly, when you're under the crunch and you've got that solution deadline looming, you don't always have the luxury.

Well, never fear, I've made a tool I use for myself and I've decided to let you have a copy (provided you're a subscriber). The tool is a GREAT time-saver, in my opinion, because it allows you to move through your solution, or even multiple solutions, in a more fluid fashion.

If you're the type of person who's always interested in saving time, then watch this video and learn how this tool might be something you can't live without! If you have suggestions then you can always email me or post comments.

#2. DEVCON VIDEOS & PODCAST: FileMaker Devcon 2008
-------------------------------------------------------

In case you've missed it, and not visited the website in some time, there were a number of videos added about product reviews I had done while at Devcon 2008.

It was a great trip, and I enjoyed the time spent with the number of people I was able to spend time with. The following list of videos are about products I was able to review personally.

BH&A Audit Log Solution
A very powerful method for providing audit logging!

SmartPill PHP 2.0 Review
One of my favorite plugins for FileMaker.

FileMaker merging on steroids. A great solution to use.

#3. SEARCHFILEMAKER.COM A GREAT WAY TO SEARCH!
-------------------------------------------------------

This one is too easy! If you've got a question about FileMaker and you're looking to narrow down the scope of results to top FileMaker resources then use SearchFileMaker.com. It's easy-to-remember and easy-to-use.

Here's the cool part. It uses Google for finding things. Rather than searching the whole Internet. It allows you keep your search focused. There are a number of features, but I'll let you watch a video about that.

Find the video within the Scriptology Video Browser (see the news item just above) It's in the "FileMaker Help Resources" and is titled "Using SearchFileMaker.com". There are some great searching tips in there that help you find answers fast!
