Hi there, I'm new! I'm a beginner in HTML and Dreamweaver, although I designed interfaces for a major TV company for years (no excuse exept laziness - I had a coder sitting next to me!)
I've been in journalism for a few years now and wanna get back into doing more visual stuff, which means I need an online portfolio...

Basically, I can do stuff like this (not mine, by the way):
http://www.altwear.net/frameset.htm
With a frameset that alters when you drag the browser.

But what I'd like to do is something like this:
http://purelypunitive.org/
Something that sits in the middle the whole time, with a nice background and static dimensions.
Does anyone know how to do it in Dreamweaver, what the type of design is called and where I can find a tutorial.
I imagine it's easy - perhaps even easier than working out all the percentages etc - but it's just a case of knowing where to start!

Sorry for the life story there, got a bit carried away.

Many thanks!!
