But the for last 6+ years, other obligations have interfered for that week..... So, I get my oxes out of the ditch (which included a funeral, a few surgeries to repair cycling injuries, mom-in-law getting 2 hip replacements...you get the picture) to clear July-August 2011 to attend Next Year -- 2011... (sigh) My friend Gene Godsey broke that news to me, no next year.... (sigh). So Here's My VOTE: Have it somewhere, somehow, someway and Honey House Web Designs WILL be there!

DW will crash. I use Topstyle for CSS edits, and I have DW set up to open edit CSS files externally. I often open css files in DW that then open the Topstyle editor. If the CSS file is locked and needs to be checked out of the server, then opening to edit in Topstyle will cause DW to bomb. Solution: Check CSS file out first, then open/edit. Then all works good. Note on 'bug': This occurs in Topstyle versions 3.12 and 3.5 (newest version) and in of the latest CS3 DW version. It also occured in CS4, but that was beta. (don't have CS4 production yet... waiting on bit end-of-year bonus -- ha ha ).

In order to facilitate updating a site's design you should use CSS to separate the content from the style or layout. But if you also use the same template editable region names in your new design template, you'll have a much easier time applying that template to the old pages without having to resolve each and every page. When creating editable regions remember 1) keep the similar regions the same name. 2) use the same case in old and new template. DW considers 'ContentBody' template a different region than 'contentbody'. 3) Avoid using the differing case (as described in #3 above) to make multiple editable regions on a page. While you might remember now what and why. In 6 months when you come back to the template, those brain cells may be long gone :). 4)Avoid using HTML or CFM markup words or reserved words as editable region names. While 'Body' or 'cfoutput' will work as a region names, it isn't the best form and could lead to issues down the road.

If the page is not on my computer, DW ignores it. In Dreamweaver, We opened the template and checked out all the files. then we opened the side-by-side view of remote and locals and all the pages that did not get checked out (ones created by the end-user), we selected and checked out. Since this client does extensive updates via Contribute, we also want to be sure our pages match and are current with theirs, even if DW shows that it is checked out. To do this I open 2 browser windows that show both my local 'checked out' files on my dev. server and the production site. If a page doesn't match, I re-download it and re-apply the updated template.
