Reason why I deleted the orginal grooveshark tutorials and why I won't bring them back in the future

I have some unpleasant news for all you fans of the original grooveshark.  Earlier probably this month or last I was looking through my social email I get from gmail and one of the emails I get from lifehacker says something to the effect of “Grooveshark shuts it’s doors” then I go to the announcement for a reason why the original grooveshark closed it’s doors and get this they were not cleared to use any music from the respective copyright owners.  Which is probably why I won’t bring back grooveshark tutorials unless grooveshark really plays by the copyright rules before getting sued again.

When you insert a Photoshop document into Dreamweaver it converts the Photoshop document to a JPEG with spinning arrows and an image icon in the upper left hand corner of the image you just inserted.  What does that tell you?  It tells you that you just inserted is a smart object meaning any change you make to the original image will show up in Dreamweaver.
