New with initial problems with Dreamweaver

Question

I am working on a large project, think of a multimedia-pedia.
As I wish to do it by years, from 1950 to present, with 7 sub
pages for each, I will end up with about 500 pages to horse around
when I am done, which I expect to take a year or so. I have put up
the first three years to test things and see how search engines see
it and that kind of thing. It will not be viable of course until I
am done with 1969 and I will have something to sell, THE SIXTIES.
If you would like to see the project:
http://1960.yearthatwas.com
Perhaps someone could give me a few conceptual ideas on how
best to do this in the first place...
I only have a day looking over Dreamweaver but I have run
into one problem that I need resolved before I can commit to it and
DELETE that sorryass Frontpage I been messing with for most of ten
years. :)
This concerns just HTML at the moment.
I loaded the 1960 page created in FP into DW.
I created new tables at the top, moved the content into them
and deleted the old tables. Hopefully ridding myself of bad old FP
code.
There are lots of new things I am having problems with but
most will be resolved as I move along.
But this one is stopping me in my tracks
Design window:
Returns to add lines between text and text and text and jpgs
and jpgs and jpgs often do not show properly in IE and FF, and a
few style formats, like center show differently in IE and FF.
I can look at the code and the added lines are there, but a
few never show up in the review.
I am using
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
If that has anything to do with it.
Sure FP with WYSIWYG is flaky, but I know how to deal with
it, do I have to learn new flakyness all over again? :)

There is no such thing as WYSIWYG on the web or in web
authoring.
What you need to learn all over again is HTML and CSS, as
recommended by
Michael. DW will be a walk in the park with even an
introductory
familiarity with these notions.
