Do you know how to use a pre-made template like this, but make a template in Fireworks or Photoshop, and make the buttons in either of those programs, and have it behind the pre-made template (with the tables, like the sidebar and header/footer)? Keeping the buttons working as well? My computers teacher wants me to do this for him but I can’t find anything anywhere on how to do that and I guess he’s too lazy to figure it out lol :p Any help would be greatly appreciated :]

I use Paint Shop Pro to design layouts – templates for websites. I did make a video tutorial on how to design a template with Paint Shop Pro. You can find it on my website michelespaintshop com I will be adding chapters this tutorial to show people how to actually use the templates in Dreamweaver. First will show the “not so ideal” way to do this, and then the second will show the better way to do this. For Search Engine Optimization and more freedom with your design I suggest simple sites.

I personally have not tried it but I will assume it is possible. The only issue I would worry about is Dreamweaver overwriting some of the spry assets. I wish I had time to go check this out for you, but just been a bit busy. Maybe just backup your current spry assets folder and put it in a safe place. Then give it a shot. If it works then grrrrrrreat. If not put your original assets folder back. Again do this at your own risk as I have not tried it.
