    mp3 web player that doesnt reload on every page

    The only way Ive been able to accomplish this feat is with: Flash the entire site, Frames or Popups. None of them are the way I would want to go, but the way Ive found to be my personal favorite is with a popup that hides itself. Check the code on my clothing site http://nesianclothing.com

    Flash

    Your on the right track, since your a beginner I would recommend just keep at it with photoshop and dreamweaver. Flash banners though are a bit more complicated than designing a basic page in dreamweaver (not by much though once you get the hang of Flash). I would recommend downloading a...

    Colors and how to apply them to your web design

    Great post regarding a subject most people overlook or just forget to think about.
