My wife recently started learning Dreamweaver. I bragged to her that I was a DW pro. But the fact is I know nuts about DW. Just yesterday she told me to create a personal homepage for her using DW. I tried cramming all those html thingy but I am still unable to get anything started. I really don't want her to know I am a braggart and ruin the good image she has of me. Can any kind DW pros help me out please? I just need a simple homepage.

Thank you.

I'm sorry if I had posted in the wrong section.

She probably already knows.

Firstly have you designed anything or have you gone straight into Dreamweaver? Do you want help with the designing, coding (most ditch Dreamweaver as it isn't very good but im guessing you dont know html or css) or both.

As Actionpack says a pre-built WordPress theme might be a good idea but you should at least know some html and css if you want to customize it.

I've sent you a mail xD

And yeah bragging but not knowing is kinda stupid lol, I remember doing that myself before years ago >.<

Using dreamweaver isn't a good idea either when you're starting with making websites, you can better just use a code editor like notepad++ ;)

Oh don't worry you'll have countless opportunities to look stupid to your Wife. :D

I recommend just saying: "Look Dreamweaver is crap, sure I can use it but let's try to make it from scratch!". That way it looks like you're knowledgeable enough to say it's not good enough. Then just learn HTML and CSS (trust me, they're very easy) and use something like Notepad++ to make it.

I know coding from scratch seems impossible at first, but it truly is easy! And it's rewarding to know you did it all yourself! Oh and Dreamweaver actually is crap, it bloats your code terribly.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
