# Extend your Dreamweaver

by admin

When you are creating a website using Adobe Dreamweaver, and it suddenly occurs to you that you could be using extensions to simplify and speed up your work, the question that arises is where to find them? What most people do is enter “Dreamweaver extensions” in Google and see if anything comes up that matches your needs.

But BigDreamweaver wouldn’t be big enough if we didn’t think of an even better way of finding those little gems called Dreamweaver extensions. We thought that the coolest way to look up extensions should be without leaving Dreamweaver, and this is why we came up with “Extension Locator”. If you have never used Dreamweaver extensions before, let it be your first one: it is absolutely free, and once you have it installed, you have instant access to an entire world of Dreamweaver extensions.

Here’s how to install & use Dreamweaver Extension Locator:

1. Download the Extension Locator here.

2. Unzip the file and double click the .mxp file

3. Restart your Dreamweaver.

4. Go to Dreamweaver Menu > Commands > Extension Locator - Extend your Dreamweaver.

5. A window will appear - as shown on the image below. Simply enter a keyword that best describes what you need, or the area that you’re looking to cover with the desired extension (for example, “mail”).

6. A list of available Dreamweaver extensions will appear, with short descriptions and buttons to find out more. Extension Locator is compatible with all Dreamweaver versions starting with Dreamweaver MX, so it also works on Dreamweaver MX 2004, Dreamweaver 8, Dreamweaver CS3 y Dreamweaver CS4.
