3755G Apply a Web Authoring Tool

The web authoring tool I've chosen for this module is Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 because I have it and apparently it's the preferred industry standard.

I've defined the site and set up the FTP. I also played around with the workspace environment, changing the position of panels etc and am quite happy to have the Insert and Properties panels top and bottom with a few others on the right hand side. I changed these around so I have easier access (for me) to the CSS and Files panels and minimised some others. This is consistent with my other Adobe programs. F4 is a favourite button to get rid of the lot when they annoy me and so I have a larger view of the actual work area. I prefer to work with the split view so I can see the code as well as the WISYWIG screen.

I've also had a good look around the menu dropdowns, buttons and tools gaining access to a full range of features.

Anyway... you can see my very basic first page using an inbuilt layout here just to prove I can FTP from Dreamweaver :P
I have added some text formatting, images, links (inserted a Spry Menu Bar).
I've created a template for the other pages and will link an external css file this week hopefully.

After searching for some CS3 tutorials I found VineyarDesigns was really helpful. It has lots of easy to follow tutorials and other excellent information about web design, home businesses and and stressed out working mums! I love this site already!

I also found the best lot of tutorials on thesitewizard.com.

Problem: IE renders the inbuilt css of my web page on my laptop but not on my PC ?? and FF does not render the css properly on my laptop or the PC ??? and according to Dreamweaver the site has no browser issues... help :)

Dreamweaver is sooo easy after Flash!! I flew through this and I'm liking it :)
