    Should i learn dreamweaver at once? newbie question

    It's good to get a basic understanding of how HTML works first, though you don't have to go too far into it. Once you have a good understanding of the structure of tags, divs, and attributes, you should head into dreamweaver. Its "File" panel is great for keeping your files organized, and will...

    im new here

    The banner/logo at the top and the navigation should be larger. That should help somewhat with the focal point issue. The pictures seem a bit disjointed. The light blue that you've included in the navigation bar makes it seem a bit too retro. And the spinning flash animation looks like it was...

    The images and Flash are the biggest ones I think, especially if the images aren't dynamically loaded. I can't wait for when loading times are no longer a problem.

    Okay, I am now very lost. What is the easiest way to create a guestbook? I haven't the slightest clue as to how to set up a database. The client set up their website before meeting with me, and they chose a very strange hosting service, www.budgetnic.com. I have never even heard of this host.
