Yes the PHP is different. Which PHP version does your server have?  Your scripts need to be compatible with your server's PHP.

Talk to GoDaddy.  On a shared hosting environment, 1GB file uploads could be a problem. PHP sets limits, Apache has limits, most web hosts have their own limits.  And there's the /tmp directory size limit which could be set by user permissions on a shared host. Not to mention just running out of server space... Maybe you could set-up a Guest FTP account for your clients to use. Also look at YouSendIt.com.  They accept files up to 2GB and currently offer an affordable annual subscription rate of $49.95. Nancy O.

AFAIK, DW doesn't support TPL (template) files by default. But you can add file extensions to DW.  See below: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/164/tn_16410.html Once you have the TPL file open in DW Design View, it should look much like any other HTML page. If the TPL doesn't contain any inline styles or is not linked directly to an external CSS file, look at Design Time Stylesheets. Nancy O.

I was wondering if there was a preferred second choice other than Dreamweaver.   If you're serious about a career in web design & development, you must learn to work with code.  There are no shortcuts. If you can work with code, you can build a site using any plain text editor like NoteTab, NotePad Plus,  or BBedit... I built my first site in MS Notepad.  Its wasn't great, but I learned a lot about code.  And later when I purchased DW, I really appreciated all the time saving features it contained. If you're planning to work in an ASP or ASP.net environment, you might be happier using MS Expressions b/c  MS wrote ASP code and supports it very well.  Adobe dropped support for ASP, preferring to focus on PHP. If what you want is no-frills, WYSIWYG tools that require no coding skills, look at iWeb or Xara web designer.  Neither product would be suitable for anything big, but they might work well enough on a small hobby or amateur site.  Many folks begin at this level then switch over to DW or MS Expressions after they outgrow the consumer-level products.

From where I sit, DW CS5 isn't all that different from CS4 except for the PHP code and 'integrated CMS support'. If the bulk of your work is in PHP, WordPress, Joomla! or Drupal then yes, upgrading now might be a good decision for you. Otherwise, wait until you can afford another purchase (with student discount or otherwise). Nancy O.

but I would much rather use a simpler, possibly templete-based program for building websites. DW is pro-level software.  iWeb is consumer-level software.   I don't know of anything in-between these 2 that produces acceptable code by current web standards. I've looked at several products including Xara Web Designer and SiteGrinder but the layouts generated by these products fail to meet my litmus test.  The page falls apart when text size is increased in browsers.  So I can't recommend them for use on commercial web sites.

Layers produced such horrible code, Adobe saw fit to remove them from CS3.  Good riddance to layers! For best results, find a pre-built CSS layout that has been tested to perform well in all browsers.  Depending on your needs, you could begin with a basic 1, 2 or 3-column layout.   Then it's a fairly simple matter of inserting elements where needed.

HTML E-Mail & Newsletter Blasts http://alt-web.com/Articles/HTML-Emails.shtml "Sending Limits Most server hosts, ISPs and web e-mail providers like G-mail put limits on how many messages you can send per minute/per hour/per day.  If unsure, check with your provider before you send a blast. You wouldn't want to violate your Terms of Service Agreement . At a minimum, you'll probably need a dedicated bulk e-mail sending software like PIMEX MailExpress that sends mail in small blasts spread out over time. If your list is larger than 20,000 names or you can't wait  to send out all your e-mails, using a bulk e-mail service such as iContact, MailChimp or Constant Contact is highly recommended." Nancy O.
