    Tips and Slicing

    http://www.w3schools.com Start with the HTML Phreadee posted, then position using the CSS you'll have to learn from the site I linked to above. To do what you're wanting, you need to learn some code. I realize it's probably not what you were hoping to hear. Photoshop *can* do it for you, but it...

    Tips and Slicing

    Just slice out page elements, and only the minimum size you need. Everything else should be code.

    Space between background-image on tablet?!

    I've had this happen before on mobiles. I eventually just gave up and took the background image out for mobile with a media query.

    Design with fixed side menu

    Matthew called it, but I have to ask, why would you want to do that? It's hideous.

    Got Ripped Off

    Nope. I mean, check the Kijiji ToS, but you're probably screwed. This is why all of my local clients sign a lawyer-reviewed contract, and the rest have to go through either guru.com or elance. Did you deliver the site? If not, just keep trying to talk to them. If you have delivered the site...

    I'm stuck waiting on Illustrator and Hype, any help?

    Inkscape is a good alt for Illustrator

    Half a line after a title?

    Phreadee's way is better. The problem is, we've run into someone who only knows how to use design view. @sebaz: I don't know if you're an actual designer or a site owner who's just keeping up their own site. If you're a designer, put Dreamweaver away and learn to code by hand. If it's the...

    png image and xhtml

    Nope. XHTML is a more structured way to write HTML. You can use PNG files in any version of HTML, methinks.

    Not sure what my next learning step should be

    If I could point you in a direction, when you're learning CSS, pay extra attention to the box model, and ask lots of questions about it. I'd say easily 50-60% of the issues people come here with have to do with box model. And, if you're going with W3Schools, their explanation isn't very good.

    Not sure what my next learning step should be

    I learned HTML and CSS through reading, but discovered videos for jQuery and beyond. This is a great series for jQuery: http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/web-roundups/jquery-for-absolute-beginners-video-series/ I'm working on PHP and Ruby on Rails thru Lynda.com. Great videos, IMHO

    Not sure what my next learning step should be

    It all depends on you. It took me a few weeks to get a good handle on how to code HTML, but I'm still learning new ways to structure it better. I took about 3 months to grasp CSS syntax, but I'm not even sure how long to truly grasp it, and I'm still picking up better ways to do things. As...

    Not sure what my next learning step should be

    This is refreshing. So much better than the "you're intolerant of beginners because you told me not to use a WYSIWYG and actually learn to code" crowd. Keep on, brother (or sister?).

    Deleting pages correctly

    It depends on how often Google indexes your site, which can be tied to a number of factors, including how often you update it.

    Learning XHTML and CSS, to create my own classified ads website

    Don't worry too much about w3fools. While they have a point about w3schools and web standards to some degree, w3schools is a great place to gain a foundation in web coding. You can at least use w3schools to learn the basics, then branch out from there.

    Display 3 Checkboxes From Left to Right

    Set a class for the <option> tag, and set the CSS as float:left;

    Deleting pages correctly

    Just delete the pages. The Googles will figure it out from there.

    Cross Browser CSS problems

    Not bad thinking, though I suspect the problem is deeper than that... There are many charts running around that show support for various features, but I haven't come across a definitive feature list comparison for the major browsers.

    Cross Browser CSS problems

    Gotta disagree, though I grasp what you're trying to say. If you're doing it because things aren't lining up, then yeah, you're wrong, but if you're doing it to intentionally shift something out of its normal boundaries...

    Not sure what my next learning step should be

    Using DW in code view only would be similar to using a simple text editor. You surely could use FW for graphics if it works for you. My point was that you don't need to. It's a tool, not the end all, be all of web design. Use what you want, just don't look at web design as using a specific...
