Hello Janine,
I am almost all the way through your Dreamweaver videos on Kelby Training, and they are great. Thanks.
One thing I have not seen yet (and don’t see in the lesson titles I have left) is how to create a dropdown or flyout menu in Dreamweaver.

Hi, Janine,
I purchased Web Sites For Dummies today and was impressed with how easy it should be to create my personal portfolio for my schooling. However, I have not been able to download Dreamweaver CS4. It seems all of the sites want to download CS5, which I hear is still full of bugs. Can you [...]

Why does WordPress remove/delete the paragraph and break tags I created in Dreamweaver?

May 19th, 2010 · No Comments

Hi Janine,

Why can’t I insert Flash into a template page?

March 19th, 2010 · No Comments

Janine,
I have tried everything under the sun to get my site to look proper in IE on the PC. Every other browser looks fine, but in IE there is always a “gap” between the top div and the middle. The bottom looks fine.
Any suggestions?
