Hey Janine!

This is my 5th day using the 2 tutorial DVD’s I bought and it’s all starting to click! Yeah! I’m surprised to say… brace yourself… I think I’m actually starting to like Dreamweaver! Wow!!!

Hi Janine,
“The company I’ve been working with for six months now has given me extra hours – and extra $$$ – to help implement a new CSS initiative for all four of their business units (read: websites).
The company’s Director of Technology was very impressed with my CSS expertise and is including me in bigger and more wide-reaching projects. I owe quite a bit to you, partly for your helpful resources and partly for making HTML and CSS cool!
Thanks!!”
