How to move photos in Dreamweaver MX?

Question

I have an index page (you can see my web page at
http://www.PhotographerAtlanta.com)
where in my local view, I can't move the 2 portrait photos at the
top, nor can I really enlarge them, otherwise the one drops to
another row below it, as though they won't fit side by side. Yet
the picture under those two, of a bride, is much wider than the 2
small portraits. Why can't I make the 2 top portrait pictures wide
enough to match the width of the photo below?
Thanks,
Jeff

Answer 1

Step back from the keyboard and take a deep breath.
Clear your mind of everything you know about word processors,
publishing
applications and image editors.
Now, find a good book on html and css and get a good
understanding of the
concepts.
You can not drag and drop text, images or other content in
html documents.
Dreamweaver has some of this functionality in the design
view, but
basically, you must describe your layout in html. The code
tells the
browsers where to place text and images, how to style them,
how they will
relate to each other.
to get started, try tables for positioning images and text.
Tabs and spaces
don't work. Then check out some tutorials on div positioning
and css to
style your page.
Lurk about on this forum a lot and read the many posts on
these issues.
It's a steep learning curve, but the most important thing is
not to confuse
Dreamweaver or html markup with Word, or Publisher. They are
not at all
related.
And PLEASE... do not fall into the trap of letting one of
those programs
create html code for you. They will simply make a huge mess
of it.
(reference many posts here on that subject.)
Good luck
