I love fan mail. It really keeps me going, knowing that I’m actually making a connection with people through my books and DVDs.  Most of all, I love teaching and sharing what I know with people who want to know it. Therefore, I treat each of my books and DVDs as extensions of my classroom, speaking directly to you without any mumbo-jumbo.

Here’s an example of some recent fan mail from a designer in MA who enjoyed my award-winning “Dreamweaver For Designers” Adobe Training DVD from Class On Demand (which you can win a free copy of by entering the Dreamweaver For Designers DVD giveaway contest at UITrends.com by Feb 20th, 2010).

Feb 4, 2010 -Ms Jenkins – Wanted to say THANK YOU for the excellent work you’ve done on ‘Dreamweaver for Designers.’I'm new to DW software. I’ve been doing graphic design since 1972 & while I have tons of experience with the typical suite of Adobe products & the Mac OS, I found DW left me mystified. The several books & tutorials I was using to get a handle on DW left me feeling even more overwhelmed & confused.

One day last week as I watched yet another opaque DW tutorial the thought occurred to me: “surely someone has written a book about Dreamweaver for designers.” I did a search for that phrase & was surprised to find a product of that exact name. After reading several reviews, I ordered the Class On Demand DVD & have been working my way through the lessons all week.

You’ve done a wonderful job of making it all very accessible. Your delivery is natural & follows a logical progression. You explain things in a way that a graphic artist can understand. Great job!

THANK YOU,
