In reply to: Noob question about designing a siteThanks for the tips Root but I think I’ll stick with Dreamweaver. I’ve been using it since version 3 and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I have BB Edit as well but it just doesn’t hold a candle to Dreamweaver. I know lots of other designer/developers that used to share that same opinion of Dreamweaver you have but once they actually used it and worked in code view they changed their minds in minutes. To each their own though.
Thanks for the tip on using the classic theme for my starter though as I was just getting ready to copy the default/Kubrick theme and start plugging away at it.

In reply to: Noob question about designing a siteOK cool, thanks. Sorry for the somewhat repetitive questions but some things just weren’t making much sense. Thanks again.

In reply to: Noob question about designing a siteOK now I’m a bit more enlightened and a bit more confused. The sites that I linked to in my first post at the top don’t have a shred of that comment info in any of their style sheets yet Dgold pointed out that they are in fact still using Themes. So either that comment info can be omitted or they are not using a Theme to present their site correct?

In reply to: Noob question about designing a siteOh one more question I forgot to include in my last post. Is it truely necessary to include comments in the top of the style sheet like below. I usually put a few comments in there but never that much. Unless it actually serves a functional purpose I’d prefer to just ditch it if I can. Thanks for any info.

In reply to: Noob question about designing a siteAwesome. Thanks everyone for all the pointers, I really appreciate it. I think I’ll take your advice DGold and download a theme and reverse engineer it and see how it goes. Looks like I’m going to have to brush up on my PHP skills too that I haven’t used in a few years. Thanks again everyone.
