and to start with, I've heard of this program called Dreamweaver that is listed in several books to format web pages. Anyone use it?

Also, is there a free flash program that I can use that is pretty good?

dont waste your money on dreamweaver. it is just another one of those "easy webpage makers". if you can learn coding and use a normal text editor, you are already doing better than any of those programs.

for the flash question, perhaps do a search in the flash forum area.

I had one of those programs already (it was free), I just couldn't upload what I had created into bravenet, so I got rid of it. Now I'm thinking about changing hosts and need to be a little more creative.

Most of the flashes cost money. I need something free.

I have DreamWeaver and I use it...but the only thing I use it for is coding. It's nice if you want to look up codes for things easily, like CSS, or put in images easily... But it still requires quite a bit of tweaking. In the end, it's probably just better to learn how to code.

So...I guess I *like* it, but it's not worth all the money, and you're going to need to learn code anyways.

Is there any program that I can use to make graphics and images that is free? I really want to put some flash on my next site, but everything I see for flash costs money. I could always save up for something, but I was kind of looking for an immediate answer.

(Does this count as BUOT?)
