I'm a designer, by hobby, looking to convert my Photoshop PSDs into seamless Cacading Style Sheets/ XHTML. I'm fumbling with Dream Weaver and Go Live as we speak but I really don't know where to start.

Best advice I can give about using those programs is find tutorials and pay attention in the tutorial about what each function does. So later you will know exactly what to do when you decide to do it.

I got lost in Photoshop when I first got it. But after a couple tutorials I was able to understand where to go if I needed something done.

So learn how the program is used then you will learn where to start.

Ideally, learn to hand-code your html and css.

It's not at all difficult to learn and for a really good introduction read Jeffrey Zeldman's book "Designing with Web Standards" from cover to cover.

It may be easier than learning to use Dreamweaver's tools.

remember me peter.
well i find that to go for CSS its best to start with plain notepad, update with dreamweaver. Its cool to do that.. but in that case.. the problem would be that its tough to convert all components of psd design to css based. CSS renders faster than anyother mode.
