I hope nobody else finds this that is new to the web. Everything about it is the wrong way of creating a site. Tables destroy sites on mobile devices, everything is unselectable text, and your page is too wide for 800x600 screen resolutions. Come on man...

Thanks a lot awesome and so simple for you.
I'm 40 and I'm goin' back to"my studies" cause i discovered that graphic design was my real goal. After 15 years (i had an apple and NeXT center) I'm jumpin triyng to fly over the wave of actual graphic design like my mentor "N Brody" did and did so well.I like very much this magazine and i have the idea to translate it in french with some Adobe's addicted.
Hope i'tll workContinue to share it should be the first "envie" of every artist

Aw, Mick.. you found me out! You bring up a great point on screen sizes, and something everyone should pay attention to.
The settings that I have on the demo do not conform to 800x600, but they weren't supposed to. Designing for 800x600 (IMO) is something that i find myself doing less and less these days. Most places that Im looking at sites for have statistics that show under 10% of users using 800x600 resolutions - thank goodness.
If you were designing a site for mobile device, you should -definitely- look into using a CSS based layout for laying out a site. This shows you how DW and PS can work together.. not a full workflow for all scenarios. KT has classes that show both methods (CSS and Tables), so its up to the designer to figure out how to deploy the site. I personally think tables get a bad rap - sometimes, you just have to get out something fast.
As soon as I figure out how to make Trajan a default font so I dont have to use it as a graphic, that's the next tutorial :) Till then, making it a graphic for slicing and rollover is our only option here. The center copy of the site is thrown out, replaced by an ER in DW.
We're just showing how the programs interact.. not necessarily a full workflow.
Hope it clears it up!

Do people really make sites up in PS and then sling it into DW? Why not just do it all in DW? What would be the purpose of doing it in PS? This seems like it would be slower and less productive. Yes I know, my newbie side is showing. :)

Youre right.. if you were just doing text based stuff, it would be easier to just use Dreamweaver. However, if you wanted to use specific fonts and graphics on the page (Backgrounds, borders, specific buttons you've bade), you couldnt design them in Dreamweaver. You'd have to go back to Photoshop and then bring them in there.

Great tutorial. The presentation is easy to follow. A definite bookmark for those who are learning to bridge these two products together.

I am trying to find more info about RC's DVD with Dreamweaver and Photoshop integration, and as a matter of fact, I would love to scan through all the tiles that are available - where can I find them?
Great tutorial, and since I am guru in print and baby in web - posibility of using Photoshop to create pages gives me a hope that I will get into web.
Thank you so much for great, great tutorial.
