In your opinion, is DreamweaverCS3 a difficult system to learn?
Well, it is not as difficult as it looks once you know how to navigate through your tools and platform. They sell various books on Amazon that can get you started right away. If you know how to use front page the transitioning shouldn`t be overwhelming.
The learning curve you can probably know your ins-and outs in a 4 hour period. I`m assuming you know some basic html coding correct?

I can tell you that I found Dreamweaver CS3, fairly easy to work with, and I had previously used Frontpage. I don`t know a lot about web dev, but I can get around and monkey with the code from time to time. One thing that I didn`t understand at first, was how pages use php and a backend database. I was trying to edit these pages like the "old" days with a fair amount of frustration.

Yes I do. I didn`t know any, started using FrontPage and as I used it more and more, I decided I wanted to see what code did what, so I started investigating more and more. I would do more hard coding, but I tend to have to throw something together relatively quickly, so it`s easier for me to just point and click or drag and drop.
Thanks for the advice guys. Any other advice/suggestions you may have, please throw them at me. I don`t mind taking the time to learn, its just find the time that gets me.

Why spend the money for DreamWeaver, which DOES insert extra coding,
when you get the same thing from Nvu, which does not insert all that
extra nonsense. Not to mention that I think the current version of
DreamWeaver doesn`t even let you see the underlying code! Which, of
course, Nvu does handily. :-)

Well, you could contune to use FP and modify the code where you want or need.
FP 2003 is CSS friendly and you can certainly see and change the code.
A lot of troublesome code occurs if you use FP modules/add-ins for animations, forms, etc.

Check out Site Spinner V2. Ive been researching easy to use website editors and this one seems great for the price and is on top of my list at the moment.

Of course it lets you see the code.. Its under codeview. The reason why Dreamweaver throws all that extra code at you is because you are using "WYSIWYG" instead of coding..
Coding is not that hard you get better results and much cleaner code.

Well, bottom line is that if you want to use only code, you use the
"Source" tab in Nvu, and don`t bother looking at the other tabs. If you
want to use only WYSIWYG, then don`t use the Source tag. It comes down
to how much money someone wants to or can afford to spend for their
tools.
