CSS: Just In Case
Welcome to Article 7, our final step in the CSS Journey of Dreamweaver 8. In our first article, we walked through the vast world of CSS, Dreamweaver 8 style, and there is indeed a lot to talk about with this release of the product! From the general to the specific, we applied what we had learned in Article 5 by creating a simple page using nothing but the Design Tools of Dreamweaver 8 to produce our CSS. Then in Article 6, I showed you how I like to do CSS, using a combination of the design tools and coding and I passed along my collection of starter snippets in an extension that you can easily install into your copy of Dreamweaver 8.
This article is part of the new interactive e-book; Dreamweaver Crystal Gazer: The Power Of Dreamweaver 8
Overview
Finally, in this article, we are going to go back to our case study and create the home page for our site that we defined back in Article 3. We’ll start with the snippets, but we’ll show you how to quickly modify them and pull together a page that is a bit more complicated than we produced in Article 6. This page is meant to be a guideline and in no way prevent you from injecting your own creative instincts in the design.
It is my hope that you will gain some basic ideas from this article and then go on to create your own masterpiece thus giving you a chance to become more familiar with the new design tools created with the CSS in you in mind.
