Thanks Newton

Dravyk, is CSS easy to work with in that? I did just pay $50 for Dream Weaver since it is known to be the industry standard.. But if Home Page has everything I need and is similar to Hot Dog or Web Edit then I will pry try that out too.. So far what i have learned in .css it is pretty much a standard text file so I assume most editors have basic support but Dream Weaver has integrated support of some sort for it...

As far as paying that much for Adobe... No way I'm paying that much.. I'll pay $100 for it most likely.. The guy I talked to last night said he thought he should have a copy in some time today as he just ran out of the last few copies he had... Basically pre used software people sell him, he resells.. Not 100% legal as the original user could still be using it but if I have all the documentations etc as far as I'm concerned - legal enuf for me

I'll have to check out that microsoft thing, but again the reason I was going to use Adobe is it is pretty much the industry standard... I have my work cut out for me though as I truly suck beyond all belief at graphics, I had fun with .css last night though - It is pretty damn Bad Ass !! I think I should be able to pick it up in a week or so with a solid knowledge of it.

Graphics OTOH - I have my work cut out for me ... LOL

Well, I'm working with an older one. Version 4.0 and no CSS in it.

Now, that said, I once upgraded to the 5.0 and it had CSS Wizards in it. Had a lot of other great stuff too. Problem was, I was only doing adult free sites and old-stype TGP galleries and the like at the time. We make them plain, no fancy stuff, no marquees, DHTML, CSS ... so I took it out and went back to the 4.0.

Now I think I should maybe upgrade, as with the mainstream stuff, I'm needing to do and to learn a lot of this crap, especially the CSS for templated sites and CMS's.

Look's like it's up to 5.0 now: http://www.macromedia.com/software/homesite/
