Josh Wilson Hi Mara, Dreamweaver has never created clean code (unless something drastically changed in the last couple of years). I'd suggest learning how to use HTML and CSS to code pages you design in Photoshop (this is a typical workflow). A brief understanding of PHP is helpful as well. I'd suggest www.alistapart.com in addition to www.w3schools.com for HTML and CSS. See tutsplus.com for a boatload of tutorials Follow instructions at tinyurl.com/44szns to create your first Wordpress theme. Enjoy!

Mara L Hey guys! I need a little insight on something. I'm considering taking a web programming class(web design) since I'm visual and everything is on the internet these days. (I know I sound silly asking about web design). I know there are sites out there that make it easier, but I want it to add it to my skils work wize, building from the ground and up. The last class I took was in HS using dreamweaver. What program is more widely used in creating sites? The dreamweaver 8, cs3/4 or xhtml?

I learned that online classes are not for me (the two week window catered to my procrastination). It was an interesting class, and I did learn a lot (thanks to the provided notes, I have a good reference). It was a neutral experience, again because it was online. I took the class out of boredom from the weeklong blizzard on the east and because I did wanted to add something to my resume.

Brice: Hmmm, if you have not done much of any programming, there are free MIT lectures MoreHmmm, if you have not done much of any programming, there are free MIT lectures http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-... that can help you learn to think like a programmer / designer. Then you will be able to associate the "What I Want To Do" with "How To Do It".

Perhaps you know a graphic designer that can give some insight into good visual design in relation to the web.
