So Ive been making sites and such for about a year now and Ive come to realize to get my site more professional and more high tech I need to learn some more coding skills. What I have been doing is just painting the site in Photoshop then slicing it and loading the html into DW and then pretty much just go from there using the images. I know this is completely wrong so i was wondering if someone could give me a quick guide or something to get me started on the right track? Thanks Kyle

There are many many tutorials linked here on the site you know..
Just use them, but remember don't just copy the information, try to learn something from them.

Good Luck and Have Fun.

There are a bunch of tutorials here, but I've found a website with great guides for HTML, CSS and XHTML. Check out http://www.w3schools.com/

After working with DreamWeaver and HTML, I would suggest learning CSS and XHTML.

Most people use it nowadays, and the coding is much neater.

It's easy to understand, and makes coding your layouts much easier. As iPoD stated above, this site has perfect resources to get you started.

w3schools is a reference site, not a tutorial site. thats the way i see it.

anyway, i have a tutorial if you want to start learning xhtml / css.

i think the next logical step after youve been using imageready generated code, would be to slice your site and then code it using the images, as oppose to using the sloppy generated code.

have a look at fakens slicing guide (for you it would be the coding part)
http://www.slicingguide.com

from there on go to using xhtml css etc.

personally i think you should follow the stepping stones and not jump over them. i know before when i first tried to code my site as oppose to using the generated code from image ready i found it quite hard, so i wouldnt skip it just for the sake of learning how to create a site using css, as at some point in time you might come across a scenario where you might need those skills that you have avoided learning.

its a natural progression, take your time

up to you though
