Leaving the Old Programs Behind. No More Hot Dog or Paint Shop Pro..

[RyanLanane]

I am in the process of dumping the html editor I have been using (either this one or Web Edit Pro) Hot DogPro.. for 8 years... Same for graphics, I am dumping the 'coveted' paint shop pro 9 and going to get a licensed version of Adobe for graphics.

I opened up Dreamweaver looks confusing as shit, lol ...

I already know Adobe is confusing as shit but it seems paint shop pro is getting that way too so I might as well be using the best.

Does anyone have any tips on lightening up the learning curve? For example a favorite site you have bookmarked that has tutorials for beginners-advanced on these two programs? Almost considering taking a local community college course on the two to get to know both very well as the more I try to start up web sites, the more I realize my html is outdated and I need to haev at least a basic knowledge of how to do graphics of some sort.

Thoughts ?
