Creating a webpage was not a problem for me…stylistically and creatively however to create a page that doesn’t suck…a different story!

Well, I have taught html modules in the past using both Notepad and Frontpage Express (yeech) and now I am trying to learn Dreamweaver on my own.  So far I have found this quite challenging as I tend to struggle with CSS and would like to incorporate more of this into my projects.

The link Jennifer Kyrnin I found quite helpful and the Q&A by the University of Adberdeen likewise.  That being said this will still be a project to learn more about.  I was surprised at how little of this stuff I have retained and how ultimately basic my knowledge and skills are.  Obviously this is definitely a goal for me to improve upon and learning more DW will be a big step for me.
