I had a lesson in using Dreamweaver this morning. It was fun... and reassuringly easier than I had feared. This is encouraging.

It's generally quite easy, and it makes pretty clean HTML. The trick is to ignore their complicated features and just concentrate on the basics.

Yes, I need the basics first. The trick is fitting things into the web template I've been given... And I have to work fast. I was alternately frustrated and jubilant as I worked on it today. So far, so good.

Shoot me an email if you get stuck, I've been using it quite a long time.

Oh, thank you very much! I do have a question:

When I am writing text, and want to go from one line to the next, and hit 'enter' to do so, I get two lines of spacing instead of one. I assume that the text has been set to leave a line between paragraphs. How can I reverse this? I tried clicking on 'none' for paragraph formatting, but that didn't seem to make any difference.

P.S. adorable icon.

When you hit Enter, Dreamweaver closes the paragraph: </p>. The browsers stick some space between paragraphs, so Dreamweaver's design view does too.

I actually prefer that to the LJ way which makes you press Enter twice to get a blank line space between paragraphs.

There are two ways to override that. One is to press Shift-Enter, which puts a line break <br> or <br /> so the next text starts at the left margin. The other is to edit the style sheet (CSS) and change the setting between paragraphs. If you want, I can look up that setting.

Thanks for the explanation. When I'm working on it today I'll experiment a little. Crossing my fingers and hoping for success!

I miss Dreamweaver. Made my website on that but lost it in a crash and don't have the original disk/code to reinstall. :(

I'm coming to ike it as I learn a few more things about it; I need to do a systematic study of the tutorial and I haven't had time to do that yet.
