  Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (How-Tos) (Paperback)

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)

I have been using Dreamweaver since it was invented and I have been doing websites since HTML 1.0 – approx late 1993.
I have not had time to keep up – once we got to HTML 4.0+, I stopped reading the full spec.
Little wonder that I need to be “refreshed:”

One problem I have in doing a fan site is that – if I scan a photoshop image into the system (capture with Photoshop) which is how BOTH scanners work – then I have to do a Save for Web after I set down the bit density and dimensions.

Same with the camera images.
Takes time.
Boring.
Back-up occurs (like Fabio on the Today show and on 1 of 100 or whatever it’s called (which just reran his appearance by the way).

So ----- what to do?

I got Dreamweaver 8 – which supposedly has templates (I am looking, I am looking!) and I need to go thru the What’s New? Since I skipped the last several (They update too fast!)
And I JUST UINSTALLED 8!
And here comes CS3!!!!

GAG!

Well --- this is the first "Adobe takes possession" issue of Dreamweaver and what do they tell me? I can now drag and drop Photoshop right into Dreamweaver which evidently does the proper saving of the art file so you can load the external browser – RIGHT FROM DREAMWEAVER!!!
YES YES YES

So I am running out to get more books to read and I have discovered that the classroom in a book is as good as (almost) taking a live class (it’s just the questions that you may have – and you can always call Adobe --- good luck with that!)

Time to do that!!!!

Because I need to “Fix” the Fabio site and I need to “Fix” about 10 others
Pulls downs (java) and floating widths and CSS and all that jazz

Oh yeah – I have been asleep at the switch!

Wonder what I was doing?

Oh yes – all day yesterday I was writing – a new story – “Naked Guy in the Desert” – what I called it as I began writing – not the final title – but you get the idea --- one of my CHiPs Out of Uniform stories.

Need three in good shape (Oh no pun there!) and then I will try to sell them. While I master the new tricks on website design.
