Hey all which software people use more for creating sites, photoshop, or fireworks I know people use dream weaver for editing. Do people use more fireworks then dreamweaver?

You would think so with the amount of sites we have seen here recently built that way! But no, that is not good practice. Photoshop and Fireworks are image editing applications used for... image editing. Dreamweaver is used for HTML coding.
A traditional workflow for web design could be:

hey @Nancy i trying to follow your code but remember when i had issues centering a DIV within a DIV. i got right before some reason im having trouble again. reason asking is because im going to try following your guide for the gallery. and again my code is
#wrapper {
background-color: #333;
height: 860px;
width: 860px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
#imageholder {
background-color: #666;
height: 840px;
width: 580px;
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
margin-top: 12px;
position:relative;
}
and for some reason my #imageholder Div is not moving down centered if you re-call
I don't know how this relates to photo layouts. But to center a div inside a div, use this code. Adjust widths and background colors to suit your needs.
