pre-built website businesses how to get into dreamweaver?

[itags_org]

Hello,

I just purchased a monthly membership to a website that is selling "scripts". Pre-built website businesses that I am able to download and edit as i like. I also recently dowloaded dreamweaver and look forward to learning how to use it. I'm a novice with html, web design, etc and know dreamweaver is pretty "intense". I tried to get these files "php" and "css" into dreamweaver and I'm having difficulty. Is there some easy way this is done that I'm not able to find in my books and online material? thanks!

Yowza... So you've bought a bathing suit and just dove into the deep end of the pool!

If you have just downloaded Dreamweaver and have not done web development and design before, Id say back away from the pre-done templates and take some time to learn the 101 level stuff first.  Get a book on basic Dreamweaver, learn some basic HTML and CSS. Start from scratch and design a number of basics web pages in Dreamweaver. Back to the swimming metaphor, learn how doggy paddle before diving into the deep end.
