I'll Say She Is!

I think that designing a web site with a committee composed of people who have no experience in HTML, graphic design, or advertising is brilliant! I mean, first of all, everyone knows that designing things by committee always works great, because it's so easy to get a consensus. Second of all, if you don't know what goes into building and maintaining web sites, you're freed of all practical concerns. What a great idea! Why have a web designer present at that meeting? Those designers, always nay-saying! There in their ivory towers!

"I think it's brilliant! Dare I say, genius? No - but maybe...he saw the idea, he picked it off the tree, and he put it in his pocket!" (Steve Martin in "Roxanne" discussing the 'Octoberfest in July' idea by the mayor.)

Y'know I just started monkeying around with Dreamweaver MX and I was thinking, isn't that the program you do web design work with? Can you recommend any good introductory books? I'm interested in seeing how to play with Cascading Style Sheets.
Man, I have a big book of Dreamweaver Ultradev that needs a new home! Ultradev is the souped-up version. Would you like it? As for CSS, Godfrey is brilliant with those things.
dreamweaver rocks! make my living off it.

and design by committee - JUST SAY NO and run screaming.
