Page set up anyone?
Hi, Y'all. I am so used to work within the boundary of setting up the page size and designing according to the size.... But, the composer or dreamweaver just keeps going and going... seems like everytime I change letter size, etc, it gets larger... Does anyone know how to set the page size? So, all the pages are the same size?
Thanks,

Things that I learned
Jake discussed with me how to put multiple pictures on the page. His suggestion was to create pages with "same everything but picture - pages", then insert different pictures on each - then link them. That is a good Idea.
Cassidy also talked with me about multiple pictures on the same page... Also how to create the template...
1. To create the template, create a page and save as "______template" and use the same page and save as different pages as you create your page.
2. Make sure you do not save over the teplate
thank you both!!!

ooh i can have a title?!
So i'm not exactly comfortable giving advice but I hope I helped. Apparently simplicity is not such a bad thing so i'm happy for that, and for the help and advice today. My next step is to create a border for my page.
todays class
I think I had a hard time helping Itay with his picture. He had a good idea and I knew what he wanted to do but I didnt know how to do it. I could do some things, like the process of slicing (I couldnt do all the slicing either though!). We got help from other people and both learned something new today. Jake helped me a lot with the visual stuff. We decided to get rid of the "heading 2" format and looked at different menu options. I am hoping to decide on my menu bar format within the next day or two.
i want to know how I can connect immages as a link to the next next page, or put two or three images on the same spot....
I don't know how to pick parts of image and create different links to each part.
well i've done a good bit of practice with composer (much easier to function with a mouse) but so far my page(s) are very plain... i'm being very conservative with images so far because i'm afraid of overcrowding, and i don't really know what i should have on the page... any advice? i can show you what i have so far (which isn't that much)
Learning new things.
My goals for today weren't too bad and I knew how to do everything but my next step is going to be my navigation bar. This is all new to me. When im working on Dreamweaver I am consistently finding new ways to do things and new things I want to incorporate into my site.
I would like to make my pages fade into each other and I don't know how to do that.
My orginal backgroud idea did not work as I had hoped so now I'm learning the properties of tables in html. I do have a template that looks how I want the page to look.

Gah! If i don't kill myself from frustration first i plan to have my entire frikkin layout done by next time. The issue is translating the layout onto an actual page. I may just find another program to do it with, because i am at war with Composer.
GOALS
For next week I will have the color scheme, the fonts and sizes figured out. I will also have my "logo" finished (from Fireworks). I also want to figure out what is going to be on my navigation bar and main page. I need to figure out how I am going to link my papers (artifacts) and reflections together... perhaps a menu?
Hey, this is Cassidy. For next week I hope to have my opening page done so I can show all you fine folks my handy work. I hope to go with the drama theme, since I am a drama major. I picture actor icons, as well as mask icons to show different links. The page will be set up like either a program or a stage setting, with curtains and lights. Hopefully it will turn out alright.
My goal
Have a rough background image, that I make myself, that will set the structure for each of my pages.
