I'm not sure you have the same idea about what 'no nonsense answer'

Neither.
If you must: Dreamweaver. Photoshop is for pictures, not content.
Unless the content is pictures of course, but then still. To make the
content display, you need code.

Learn HTML then. It's not more difficult to learn than Dreamweaver,
and enables you to code your pages in any editor you like for the rest
of your life, and have the advantage of understanding what you're
doing. Ditch Dreamweaver while you still can.
Download a good editor (I use TextPad), and learn HTML.
Write content first. Put the main heading of your document between
<h1> and </h1>, and the paragraphs between <p> and </p>.
Once you've done that, come back with more questions if you can't find
a good online HTML tutorial.
Avoid any tutorial that shows you how to use colours and backgrounds
and other presentational ballast in the HTML.
*After* you have your page online and marked up properly, learn CSS.
Once you know your HTML and have questions about the CSS, go to
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets and ask there.

I personally prefer a page with "Hello World" written on it in real
letters, than what you've got now.
