I am wondering if dream weaver comes with any form of starting templates. I am good with html/css, but the problem is that I'm not a master of doing it off hand yet.
Is there any templates I can use that work with Dreamweaver or dreamweaver has currently? I'm using the trial period to see if I like Dreamweaver, but without any form of starting templates I'm kind of lost.
Thank you.
Not currently. DW CS3 came with starter pages but they needed to be re-done so Adobe pulled them back.
You'll find some CSS Templates on my web site.
Also Project Seven has some very nice page packs and CSS Layouts -

Can those be used for commercial use? I make money off my current blog. I would use the template delete everything that I didn't need or change it to match my specifications. I don't want to get into trouble for using it for my site even though I'm in the fitness field and not selling templates.
Can I just copy those and put them into dream weaver if I can use them commercially?
You can use them.

You can have a look as well at Flexi CSS Layouts - a Dreamweaver Extension that help you create Css layouts in Dreaweaver without coding.
Nancy:
Have you used the EZ-CSS grid that Thierry has come up with?
I was just reading through the pages and noted this incredibly clever thing -
.ez-wr .ez-box {
text-align: center;
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
/* to prevent double border on inner boxes */
.ez-wr .ez-wr {
margin:-1px 0;
}
What Thierry does is to give the inner boxes a -1px top/bottom margin so that the borders OVERLAP at top and bottom thereby preventing the double border from being shown (i.e., it doesn't get rid of the double borders, it just prevents them from being shown!). Have you seen that done before?
Have you used the EZ-CSS grid that Thierry has come up with?
Yes, and I like it.
.ez-wr .ez-box { text-align: center; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #000; } /* to prevent double border on inner boxes */ .ez-wr .ez-wr { margin:-1px 0; }

Theirry really does think outside the box. It wouldn't occur to me to do it this way. But it works!
