I need help with templated in photoshop. I understand the basics of slicing an image of a webpage that you made, but what I dont get is the html part of it actually. Slicing produces tables and thats not very handy.

How do I make web templates?

As you have discovered, you are winding up with lots of tables.... and if you use the typical WYSIWYG html editor, you will probably wind up with spaghetti code. Personally, we'd approach it with CSS. Cleaner and easier to change (particularly if you are talking about multiple pages). If you want to do the sliced images and html, depending on the look you are going for, this article might give you some ideas :

Save for web>save images and html>open in Dreamweaver

If you have anything else, get rid of it! (ok, just my opinion LOL)

Dreamweaver (which we have, but never use anymore) is one of the typical WSIWYG editors to which I was referring. Even though it is better than most (not to mention more expensive than most), there is still a tendency to produce garbage code. We got tired of the mess Dreamweaver made .. plus it's harder to make WSIWYG editor code W3C compliant than hand coding. Just IMHO.

Josh your question is so open ended and relating to web design. I am curious why you would post this on a scrapbooking website? The path to web template enlightenment is long. ;-) You would probably do well to post your questions on a web design forum or learn about html and css or hire someone to make the page for you.

????? Not that I particularly care - I just thought it was an interesting question that, for a change, might not be answered by a poster bothering to read the manual - but what exactly was against the TOS?

Josh is pretending to have a real question, but he has posted three very vague questions today and does not seem to be interested in coming back to see the responses. It would appear that he is fishing for commercial business with his signature link by posting vague questions around this forum in order to get his link viewed.
