I’ve got Dreamweaver 8 for Dummies Book (yes that is because I’m a big dummy :lol1: ) not sure how advanced it gets as I skip those pages because it may as well be in a different language (which I suppose it is really 😕 )

These dummy books always seem to simplify things so have a look and see if it has the features you want to lean.

hope that helps somewhat

cheers

Thanks Warren,
Just had a look at it, does seem like that might help me a bit.
I’m not really doing that much just updating text and images which i seem to be able to do. Just thought it might be helpful if i understood the program a little better, some of the terminology makes no sense to me at all!!!

I use the dummies book also. Seems to make most sense and breaks down the jargon for guys like me

Thanks for the link Dave. Had a look but always prefer a hard copy, just my preference.

I always used to prefer a book but I got a Dreamweaver tutorial CD which is absolutely superb.
Only cost about £8 and the video tutorials follow what happens on screen exactly. I can pause the video, ALT-tab back to dreamweaver and do the same in the web site.
With the facility for indexed searching as well it really worked for me.

Dave,
If your only updating the odd bit of text & image, try EditPlus http://www.editplus.com , its cheap, and we use it to write all our websites. Its not got a graphical interface like Dreamweaver, but it does make for fast page creation, and doesn’t add lots of useless code.
I personally recommend it for anyone creating or editing web sites.

Thanks for the replies.

Pretty much got it all sorted now not quite as daunting once i jumped in.
Especially with some of the useful links.

i could be building sites in no time. 😀
