In this last installment of the Dreamweaver for GoLive Users series, you will learn about templates and library items, two essential productivity/automation features. You will then get an introduction to Dreamweaver's ultimate layout productivity feature, the CSS Starter Pages.
If you have been using GoLive's template and component features, learning to use the Dreamweaver equivalents - templates and library items - will not be too much of a stretch.

In Part Seven of this series, we completed the Music History design in Dreamweaver. This time around we'll perform some quality assurance on the page by using the Check Browser Compatibility feature. We'll learn about using Internet Explorer Conditional Comments (IECC) to take care of problems in that browser. Finally, we'll create a snippet to fix future encounters with the Three-Pixel Text Jog bug.

In Part Six of this series, we used Dreamweaver to manipulate the various divisions of the page and position them into a header with two columns underneath. This time around we'll complete the design in Dreamweaver by formatting the maincontent div text and turning the sidebar links into clickable buttons. In the process, I hope to introduce you to additional features that will improve your productivity.
This tutorial includes starter exercise files as well as a completed layout that you can use as a basis of comparison while you work through the steps.

In Part Five of the Dreamweaver to GoLive series, we completed the Music site design in GoLive. Now it is time to translate your GoLive CSS skills into Dreamweaver CSS skills. The basic concepts do not change, but rather just the location of a few tools.
This tutorial includes both a starter and completed folder in its support files.

It's been a while since the third installment in the Dreamweaver for GoLive users series, but I didn't forget you while I was writing about the Dreamweaver public beta or the latest CMX JumpStart! In parts four and five of this tutorial, we'll get to the really exciting stuff. We'll use Adobe GoLive to add the styles that will transform the pure markup from a series of divs that stack vertically down the page into a neatly contained fixed-width layout with side-by-side columns.
Then, in part six, you'll learn how to perform the same tasks in Dreamweaver.
This tutorial includes both starter and completed files folders.

In Dreamweaver for GoLive Users: Part One, you set up the sites and files you are going to use as you create a web standards layout side-by-side in both GoLive and Dreamweaver. In this second tutorial in the series, you will code the markup for the layout in Adobe GoLive; in the third part, coming very soon, you will code the markup for the layout in Dreamweaver. During the course of these two interrelated tutorials, you will learn more about how to translate your knowledge of GoLive's interface into knowledge of Dreamweaver's.

Current reality suggests that we all make the switch to Dreamweaver now that GoLive is no longer part of the Adobe Suites and is likely at the end of the line. Sure, we can keep using GoLive as long as our operating systems support the software. Still, it would be a wise decision for many GoLive users - especially those who are making web sites for a living - to learn to use Dreamweaver in addition to GoLive.
I have frequented GoLive forums and lists over the years, and often read posts by frustrated GoLive users who claim Dreamweaver doesn't do this or that task. Occasionally, the charge is true. Still, often the problem is that the path to finding the task is radically different in Dreamweaver and is not immediately discoverable.This series aspires to ease the pain of translating equivalent tasks from one "language" to the other. You will "learn by doing", that is, by creating the same layout in both GoLive and Dreamweaver.
In this first installment in the series, you will set up the site definition and file structure for the "music history" site in both programs.

Cool GoLive Features Part 5: the Site Sucker
by Sheri German - 13-Mar-06
Reader Level:
When subscribers ask questions in the CMX forums about a Web page, sometimes I need to download the page with all its dependent files so I can troubleshoot it. Or, I may want to edit a site for which I do not have the FTP information. Rather than use the Internet Explorer or Safari Web archive option, I turn to Adobe GoLive with its built in site and page sucking feature. All I have to do is paste in the URL of the desired page, and GoLive quickly does the rest.
Cool GoLive Features Part 4: The QuickTime Editor
by Sheri German - 21-Feb-06

It's really rather surprising. Hidden in Adobe GoLive you get a whole other application: a QuickTime movie maker and editor. It includes everything from Sprite tools to Flash integration to drop-dead simple slide shows. So don't despair if you don't have an expensive, dedicated movie editing program but you do have Adobe CS2. You will be amazed at what you can do with the GoLive QuickTime Editor.
In this first tutorial in the QuickTime series, we'll look at the GoLive QuickTime tools and environment, and then create a slide show movie with picture, sound and text tracks. In upcoming tutorials we will look at Sprites, Flash integration, filters, and other more advanced GoLive QuickTime features.
This tutorial includes a sample MP3 and folder of images so that you can follow along.

If you ever laboriously typed out all the labels and values for a country list, or found yourself constructing an elaborate eCommerce form, you're going to love these starter forms and form objects.

If you purchased Adobe CS2 Premium, you may have noticed that you get Adobe's Web authoring program GoLive in the package. If you have been using Dreamweaver, you might have suppressed your curiosity to investigate further. Because I have taught and used GoLive over the years, however, I've discovered some unique and wonderful features that I would like to share. They may make you want to take a second look and even "weave" a few GoLive tools into your workflow.
In this article, I will introduce GoLive's Site Diagram tool. With it, you can structure an entire site, generate its folders and pages, add annotations, and present a beautifully designed diagram in PDF or SVG format to clients.
