Need HTML/Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 Help

[aolsuxs]

I want to redo my website but I don't really want to get into heavy htmling or anything like that. I used MS Frontpage the first time and it wasn't bad but could be better. Are there any other decent programs like that out? Where you can publish a good looking page without a vast knowledge of html. Also a friend of mine gave me his Macromedia Dreamweaver but I am at a lost of how to use it.

There are a bunch of Dreamweaver tutorial sites on the WWW. Just type "dreamweaver tutorial" into Google or something. DW is very easy to use, and pretty powerful. You will need to know a little bit of HTML though to make things pretty. My major complaint is that DW likes to use the <p> tag a lot - which I hate. So I'm usually going through the code replacing them with the br tag.

Happy hunting!

HTML: Learnit, Love It, Live it.

Seriously, it's a simple language to learn. But if you really don't want it, try adobe golive. With any WYSIWYG editor, there's gonna be a lot of trash code.

Interesting, burning poop (cacafuego), you found a glitch in the html filter on this forum... < br >'s work here

Dw usualy works great. While not perfect code, it is better then most.

I like dreamweaver because it's really easy to use and can make a decent looking page. It makes working with frames pretty easy. The last page I made with it was for a local band and it's at www.shifty.s5.com (yeah, yeah it's freeservers, they didn't want to pay for a server).

you don't always get what you want from HTML editors. so, somewhere along the line you will have to go and handcode some of the stuff. especially when you want your tables to look a certain way.
