For just over three fantastic years FlashDen has been the jewel in Envato’s crown. It is our longest running and most active community, and thanks to the amazing authors who showcase their work there, has become the largest marketplace for Adobe Flash files in the world with over 8,500 items for sale.

Last week Adobe asked us to change our name and URL so that it would no longer contain the term ‘Flash’, which is a registered trademark of Adobe. We know that the success of our sites is about the community and content, not the names. So here at Envato HQ we’ve been busy thinking up new names and we think we’ve found a great new home for both our marketplace and our Tuts+ blog on Flash.

As of today the two sites now live at ActiveDen and Activetuts+.

One of the best things about working here at Envato is that we have an awesome team of people building, managing, writing, reviewing and working on our sites. Yep, things have come a long way since the early days when there was just a few of us trying to do everything!

Recently our awesome Tuts+ interviewer Emil asked if I minded being video interviewed with some questions put forward by the Psdtuts+ readers. Since no-one really wants to see my enormous head on screen for too long a period of time, I asked my lovely wife and partner in crime Cyan if she’d be in on the interview and we thought we’d put up the video to help celebrate 3 years of Envato.

Today we kicked off a huge week at Envato (it’s our 3rd birthday soon, don’t you know?) with the launch of Phototuts+, our 8th site in the Tuts+ Network.

If you’ve ever wished you could take nicer photos, or to bump your nice photos into professional-level territory, Phototuts+ was created to help you!

Hit the jump to learn more about Phototuts+ and its editor, David Appleyard.

This is a very action packed week for the Envato network as it turns 3 years old! Well along with that, we happen to be having our own little party “Aetuts+ specific”. We’re excited to celebrate Mac Lovers Week, a week where all our content is Apple-Centric!
If you “option” instead of “alt”… If you were perfectly content without a right click… if you have no clue what a “Start bar” is…

If somebody says “Steve Jobs” and you feel all tingly inside… This is your week!
