Need help with Dreamweaver

[steinbeck]

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.

You be better off using WordPress and using a theme instead of making one on your own. What type of site would it be.

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.

Probably some student in a web class who had to design a simple page for an assignment but hasn't bothered to go to the class all year :D

Dreamweaver is a bit extreme for a hello world!

Listen if she's your wife I don't think she'll care that your not a pro at Dreamweaver. Just tell her the truth, I don't think you'll ruin anything.
