I just wanted to say, learning how to type html and css isn’t that hard, and if you’re serious about web design you should probably learn.

First things first, ditch DreamWeaver and force yourself to type. If you can’t build a site with out using tables than you should go back to the book.

@madBADcat – this title kicks ass,,,

I think trying to compare the two is like apples and oranges. Dreamweaver is a design tool like the rest of the design tools in Adobe’s creative suite. It’s great at designing HTML or to use as a code editor (with plugin code hints for jQuery, ExtJS API, etc). Where it used to be weak was with WordPress, until now…

ThemeDreamer is an extension for Dreamweaver that unlocks DW’s potential as a design tool for WordPress themes -not just plain HTML. The old assumption that one scripted page = one web page caused DW to fall short rendering a theme file. Now you can download a theme file and use DW’s design features to navigate it and ‘see’ immediately -w/out a server, various styles and settings. ThemeDreamer enables WYSIWYG approximations so you can get instant feedback in DW’s Design View, and navigate code in split view/Code View. It also supports code hints that go beyond WordPress’s template tags (by including common WP API functions), renders common template tag parameters, and has convenience features like live links into WP’s online reference manual. The ‘ol edit/upload/launch a web browser and hit refresh -what basically equates to trial and error is a slow and painful way to do design. You can design faster whether making minute changes to font size, colors, CSS, dragging the calendar or post author name to be ‘here’ instead of ‘there’, or making more complex template tag parameter changes using Dreamweaver (with the ThemeDreamer extension) then you could without it. WordPress and Dreamweaver can actually be a powerful marriage. Its just half the design tool until unleash its potential with ThemeDreamer. I can’t think of a single WYSIWYG editor for WordPress to date, or until now ;-).
