Dreamweaver Information Links and Evaluations thereof

I was intentionally avoiding product reviews when looking for a web site on how to use Macromedia Dreamweaver 3 and I thought getting a page listed with the domain webtipz.com would be a no-brainer.  Brain or no brain, "Webtipz.com - Macromedia Dreamweaver V3.0" has only your normal fawning description of the "famous HTML Wysiwyg Editor."  Webtipz breaks down the review into website management, webdesign and handling.  The most interesting and useful information supplied is that Dreamweaver's new Cascading Style Sheet window, which lets you define tags for one page or for the whole project, displays "a lot" of tags not as you define them and that the layer environment allows you to convert layers into tables, so that you can display them in browser versions 3.0.

Here is a straightforward resource.  IDM Dreamweaver Tutorial is actually, as the title might suggest, a tutorial, and it will be slightly less useful as resource: there is no index, but the contents list is fairly descriptive.  Its topics include the "basics" of using the software, working with frames, adding JavaScript "behaviors" automatically, inserting media, managing a site, and "timesavers."

From Macromedia itself, Dreamweaver for Beginners: Welcome to the Workspace provides a good overview of the editor's interface.  I think this is a pretty essential quick overview; it points out things on the busy screen that I didn't notice even after using dreamweaver for a while.

Another site offered by Macromedia, Quick tips for Dreamweaver 3 is short and the only really useful part is the first page on "Cleaning up your workspace."

Despite these two, the most useful Dreamweaver site I have found is one from Macromedia, but I guess its not really a Web site. 

This is the motherlode, the pay dirt, and other metaphors that have to do with finding a gold mine. http://html.about.com/compute/html/msubdreamweaver.htm
