Hi Mark,

Welcome to the world of MX 2004. I do know of several good classes on line
for Dream Weaver and these are of no cost to you. They helped me in the
beginning. Also, Macromedia's website contains a great deal of help and
tutorials for all from novice to expert.

Here are a couple of URL's that might help:

http://graphicssoft.about.com/ (lots of classes here from PhotoShop, Web
Design, XHTML, etc.)
http://www.trainingtools.com/
http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/


As far as the background image, are you trying to add text over the top
without putting in a table or something? I just began a site in Dream Weaver
after making the front page mock up in PhotoShop. I have a blue-gray
background, then added a gray-box in the middle as also a background image
in the middle. I was adding text and graphics over the gray box, so I first
had to add my table over the background image in order to be able to add the
other items on the page. I hope that helps answer your question.

Best regards,


Rhia Steele
