Using CSS vs DWT or both

To be honest I may be over complicating things. I am sure I will be able to
create things like navigation bars and hover buttons using the books and
tutorilas I have. I am very confused about how to begin.

ACk .. don't even think hover buttons ... shudder. ..or navigation
bars....that's going backwards.

Lets say you have your first car.
Something on it is acting a little funny, and you have an exact duplicate of
the car which you know everything works just right on it.
So you take the duplicate and you take the (I've no idea about cars so bear
with me) gear box and strip it down to see how it works....
You look at your car's gear box and realise that such a nut should go here
instead of there and so on.

It's the same with web pages....compare something you know works ... though
in this case

Download that page you should me or right click and grab the source code and
paste in to Code View over whatever is there in a blank page.

Go back to Design view and take a look .... put on the split view so you can
compare the html to the wysiwyg Design view.

Play around with what is there.. change the colours move things...

The template you showed me is a little ucky well more than a little the html
has 72 errors on validation the css is not too bad just has a few warnings
.... but they could use an external sheet.

I'd actually keep that design in mind but not use that template as an
exercise you might pick up bad habits.

Thanks Tina,
I guess what I am hearing is that you suggest using CSS style sheets for
creating web pages. Is that correct?
