Anyone have Dreamweaver tips for me?

[ColleenSwerb]

I've never used this program before, and am a complete newb as far as websites and coding go. Jordan is really busy, and my sister couldn't get our wedding website to look the way I was envisioning it.

So I'm giving it a shot.

Anyone have any tips for me?

It's been a loooong time since I used Dreamweaver...I taught myself the basics years ago, but then my copy stopped working (umm...this was BEFORE I was aware of all the piracy stuff, lol). I designed one website using it, but since then I've just coded by myself, I found it just as easy.

\If yo're doing an html page, you can use the WYSIWYG and it will look the same on your comp and on your site... Otherwise, GOOGLE!! LOL That's how I've found a TON of stuff I had questions on!!

*googles WYSIWYG* :p

I figured google is gonna be my bff for the day, lol.

Thanks ladies :)

WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get :D

Yea, lol. Googled it and then slapped myself in the head for not getting it.

So here's a question. I'm using a basic CSS template that was in the system already, and editing it to fit my needs. There are all these dotted lines showing boundaries of sections. How do I change where they are? I can't seem to just drag them where I want, lol.

I am more familiar with Front Page ... sorry Col :( Let us know how it turns out though :)

[ColleenSwerb]

That's ok Amber, thanks :)
It's coming along ok so far, all things considered, lol. I'm working on figuring out how to tweak things. Thankfully Jordan can help me out with some stuff too, cuz he uses it to keep our company website updated and such.

If you still have some questions Col, send me a message or catch me on IM... I was a web designer before staying home with my youngest.
