Greeting Gang, Tried to search but didn't come up with anything. I apologize - I've only posted a few times here and don't know the 'personality' of the forum. I'm looking for Creative Suite (by Adobe). This is strictly for home usage, home webpage, and hobbyist usage - but like many things in life, we wand the best (if we can afford it). My current Dreamweaver is 10 years old and I have Photoshop 7. I don't want to offend anyone by mentioning that I'm looking for - inexpensive - which usually means a non-Adobe dealer type of purchase (did that make sense?). I've found a couple places that carry Creative Suite. *This paticular place has a 'complaint' with the BBB that has been resolved. Something about selling software with invalid serial numbers. So, I'm about to bypass this place unless someone has had good results with them. http://www.techdeckdirect.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=65021566&Message=Your%20e-mail%20has%20been%20sent%20successfully%20to%20sjliebl@etemco.net And of course, ebay: what is *Commercially Licensed*? http://cgi.ebay.com/Adobe-Creative-Suite-4-CS4-Design-Premium-WINDOWS-NEW_W0QQitemZ270413628276QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Software?hash=item3ef5e88374&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1234%7C240%3A1308%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Basically, looking for feedback and/or information on 'trusted' & reasonably inexpensive places to buy this software from. I don't mind paying a little more knowing I'm getting the real-deal. Thanks !! Jandy Liebl

Just stopped back to say Hi and Thanks again. I haven't done anything to my own website. Life has been sooooo busy - I'm sure ya'll can relate. I gotta stop visiting all the other forums and start using this one. My husband and I are thinking about buying a copy of CS3 or CS4 (including Dreamweaver). Our current Dreamweaver is beyond ancient.... so perhaps this will be a breathe of fresh air (and exciting) to work on.

Wow....those tutorials are a lot to grasp! A couple questions yet... My home webpage is a mess (I'm embarrassed to admit and show it) and its got a lot of pages. http://www.lieblweb.com/ I looked at the source and I don't even wanna think about having to sort through that mess . I'm much better off starting from scratch (I think anyway). What would be the easiest way to try to convert over to CSS style design? I'm thinking the best way would be to find a generic CSS layout online somewhere and just play with it for a while so I better understand the code. Then perhaps work it to what/how I want it to be (starting with my index.html?? Then - after the main index page is completed - could I work on the other pages one x one changing them over to CSS as time allows? I'm hoping this isn't gonna be - biting off more than I can chew. I guess it'd be easier to understand once I start working with it as a whole. It's important for me to PLAY with it. I don't want to disrupt any of the links/pages that I've already had for many years.... I think my head is gonna explode (laugh). The fun part of all this is....I really enjoy PLAYING with things. Changing things and watching what they do. This might take a while..but atleast I'm kicking myself in the ass to do it. Any helpful hints/tips on how I should approach all this.....Please let me know!! Thanks!!

You guys are AWESOME!!! I owe you big time!! Thelma, Thankyou for the links. I started doing the courses and I plan to continue doing them as time permits. I think I sat here for 3 hours today going through stuff and trying thing out. I'd like to learn much more to get my own homepage designed better. Virtual & Wickham - Thank you for the suggestions, although I was still somewhat lost to read your suggestions and make changes. After doing a few of the courses, I was able to understand the lines in the code better than I had before. Imagine that? And like you guys suggestioned...that top line was switched around for some reason and there were a few extra characters in there that didn't really belong there. I took a chance in removing them and WHALAA!! It's centered now and looks the way it should!! It's funny.... but just when you think you can't handle learning this complicated stuff, you really can with a little time, help, and guts to dive in. Again - THANK YOU for getting me pointed in the right direction!!

Greetings! I'm a new forum user here and please pardon me if I'm a Help Vampire..... I have my own webpage which is simple beginners building stuff. I'm almost embarrassed to give you a link to it because it's soooo lame (laugh). It needs redone, but time and knowledge prevent me from diving in (it's got a lot in it). It's basic tables & such. I've been using Dreamweaver 3. But anyway.... I've involved with an offroad club and their webmaster (of 8 years) left the building and sold us the website. The website is much more complicated that what I've (or my husband) has ever dealt with. It uses style sheets & who knows what else. I had to make changes to the wording in one of the pages. I should've ran a test page first (lesson learned). The page is fine except its justified to the left and not centered where it should be. I made a test page to play with and experiment with ....and have copied and pasted header (??) source codes from a proper page without any results. I've very briefly read up on style sheets but I'm still having a hard time grasping how it all relates to this paticular webpage and where to change the justification. I don't necessarily need you guys to figure this out, but I'm looking fro some good books or websites that puts it all together so I know how everything is related. I'm a HOME learner and sometimes I neeed a kick in the right direction to get me moving again. This is the proper way the 'body' should look (centered). http://www.keystonekrawlers.com/ And this is the page I messed up: http://www.keystonekrawlers.com/joinus/joinus.htm I've looked in the source and can't find any relation to 'justification' - but then again, I'm a NEWBIE and don't necessarily know what I'm looking at. Please pardon - first post. If you guys can recognize the style of page this is or how it's laid out ...then possibly I could know what to search for or books to learn from. Thanks ahead of time!
