Hey Markk, this is definitely an area of expertise for me but I'm so busy right now that I can't really offer much.

 

Did you get Dreamweaver and Fireworks?  If so there should be some documentation and tutorials available.  I can tell you that Fireworks is a great tool for web graphics.  It does a lot of stuff that no other program does.  For instance, it's really easy to make javaScript style roll over buttons.  Just make a three layer graphic for the different states and export.  It makes the .gif's and writes out the javaScript.  I once spent a month doing the same thing with PhotoShop and hand coding the JS.  I later found out that I could have done the same thing in 2 hours with Fireworks.  There's a whole chapter in the book on this.

 

Animated gifs are really easy to make.  That's also described in the manual.

        I mentioned an OT subject about help with making a web page and NO ONE responded ????? I know there are web guru's here... all I was looking for was a point in the right direction... Now I am left to give it my all.... on my own.... you gents first helped me out with recommending Dreamweaver, and Fireworks....  so I have that......but holy shit BATMAN, what a learning curve.... and all I wanted was a point in the right direction for making animated .gif files...  I have found a few on the web... wish me luck gents...

 

Cheers, Markk
