Years ago i tried dreamweaver, it just confused me, i suggest Notepad++ and a lot of reading about html and css and try little bits of code, save and view and soon it begins to make sense.
I watched a youtube video the other day and was able to do some code typing and programming to make several aspects of a webpage in 15 minutes. That was the first time I've typed code since the Logo turtle in elementary school(not counting programs for a TI-83). It really wasn't that complicated and seems easier to me than using the WYSIWYG editor I'm currently using. Maybe I should just learn the different codes, can't be that many of them.
