I have been using Macromedia products for my web site production for years. I just recently found a new way to design that has made my life a lot easier. Prior to the "Layers" feature, I always found it difficult to make a page look the way I wanted it to due to the fact that I had to put everything into tables or just position my images around my text and hope for the best. Now, Dreamweaver offers this killer shortcut to making a website: Layers. Imagine being able to put anything (text, tables, graphics, whatever) WHERE EVER you want!! This is an absolute godsend in the design world as far as I am concerned.

Now, I just discovered this feature in Dreamweaver 8. There were previous versions of Dreamweaver (MX2004, etc.) that also allowed for this feature. Either way, I am glad that I was able to find it and utilize it because it has made a considerable difference in the design for web sites for me.

The concept is simple: create a new page. To do this you must have first established within Dreamweaver
