Is anyone willing to direct me to a "dummies guide" to installing wordpress? I've read so many forums and blogs about it and still don't have it...I installed MAMP and whenever I try opening a template in DW i just get little php icons everywhere and can't preview anything so obviously I'm doing something wrong :( I really need it installed asap as I need to post a portfolio in applying for jobs. I'd really appreciate the help!

have you got WP running with the default theme or are you putting the cart before the horse & editing theme files first?
I prefer XAMPP to MAMP on mac for a local install, but I guess thats a personal preference.
There's a tutorial here that might help:

There's something called themedreamer that might help you if you really must use Dreamweaver to edit themes, I have no idea how well it works as I haven't needed to use Dreamweaver since I started using WordPress, but there's a demo version of themedreamer so you can kick the tyres before you have to pay for it. -

What happens when you view the page in a browser-- http://localhost or http://localhost:8888 should get you there? Just to rule out the possibility that this is a Dreamweaver problem.

Also read this thread. Its also a 'help me with a MAMP install' thread and there are a few trouble shooting things in there you should try.
