Updated and expanded, Creating a Web Site in Dreamweaver CS4: Visual QuickProject Guide is now available. Like all the Visual QuickProject titles, it uses big, color illustrations coupled with clear, concise step-by-step instructions to show you how to complete one specific project in a matter of hours. Coverage of how to use Dreamweaver's pre-built CSS layouts has been expanded—yet again. The focus is on how to build a site using CSS—without having to learn all the ins and outs of Cascading Style Sheets.

Current updates:

• 1/1/10, updated the DWcs4_ExampleSite_start_on_pp15.zip download: Previously this download included a mistakenly empty file (text_snips2copy_paste.html file). It now includes all the snippets that you'll want for copying and pasting into the site example files as you build them. To get the 6.3mb compressed folder of files, jump here for the details. Or, if you like, you can hop over to the single page of copy-and-paste text snips and save the page to your machine.
• 12/3/09, fixed corrupted CS3 & CS4 example files: I have created new versions of all these files and re-uploaded them to the site. Some readers had been getting error messages that these example files were corrupted. If you have any problems with them, please let me know.
  BTW, a reader recently alerted me to an article that suggests the corrupted download issue may be a problem with Internet Explorer 6 running on Windows 2000. For all the details, see http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/corrupted_downloads/. If you're using that combo and get a "corrupted file" message on the example download, give it another try but first clear the browser cache to get rid of the incomplete download. Otherwise, Internet Explorer will keep telling you the file's corrupted.
• 9/29/09: Two example files—used on page 53 to import tabular data— were mistakenly left out of the big zip file. Here are two quick links to download two versions of the file, one as a simple text file, the other as an .xls spreadsheet file. I will redo the all-in-one example zip file when I get a chance. In the meantime, grab these two little files.
• 9/14/09 (see update above): I spaced! In the downloadable examples, the text_snips2copy_paste.html file is empty. I'd created it so that folks could copy and paste snippets from it to build out the various blank index.html pages used in the examples. An alert reader pointed out that I never filled it in.
• pages 2–7: To see all of the features explained in the Explore Dreamweaver section of the book, you need to open a Web page. A blank one will do just fine. One frustrated reader rightly pointed out that I failed to mention this bit of crucial information, which left her stumped. My apologies.
• page 37: A reader wondered why the example files do not include dunepage.html. The reason it's not included is because you simply create a duplicate of the index page you've been working with all along. I see now that the wording for Step 1 on page 37 might have added to the confusion. While it says: "Click in the page where you want to use the duplicate of your original (Copy of dune300.jpg in our example in a blank duplicate we created of the index page named dunepage.html)."
  Here's a clearer wording of what I meant to say:
  Step 1— Create a blank duplicate of the index page you've been working with all along. Name it dunepage.html. Now click in that page where you want to use the duplicate of your original image (dune300.jpg). The duplicate image is automatically named copy_of_dune300.jpg.
