Website Help!

[youthbrigader]

I'm starting website, but I'm not really sure how to get started. I have dreamworks, but am really quite clueless as to how to get started. Can anybody direct me in the path of either a pretty good beginners guide, or some free templates?

Thanks,
Youth

Dreamworks? Do you mean Dreamweaver?

Did you get this through school? If so, see if they have any training guides. Most do (both my high school and college did). Otherwise, try the help file or buy a book if Google isn't giving you anything.

There are some helpful tutorials there.

Is it always helpful to learn HTML/CSS too. It makes working with programs like this easier. It would be a good idea to invest in books also. Check out what Amazon has on the subject.

Dreamweaver is a great tool, but start wtih a basic education on how HTML works, what the available markup tags are, how CSS style sheets are applied to markup, and overall how the interaction between the client and server proceeds during a page request. Understanding this stuff will make your life much easier later. There are a ton of educational resources out there.

I learned Dreamweaver using "Dreamweaver 8 Essential Training " training videos from Lynda.com. Amazing tutorials.

Yeah, Dreamweaver. I fiddled around with it for a few hours last night, so I was pretty exhausted and not thinking. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thanks alot, I really appreciate the help. So learn HTML and CSS before anything else, then, right?

Yes, even if you end up using Dreamweaver, learning HTML and CSS first.

Not the smartest link to give to a complete newbie.

And personally, I hate w3.org because it's all a godamn mess.
