Another day of beating my head into the computer screen. It's Thursday the 8th of August 2013

Trying to convert my old Golive templates into nice and clean Dreamweaver templates is making my head hurt.

I want to have all my styles in an external stylesheet but Golive shitted styles all over the place that have random numbers and letters and put the rules for them in the head section of each page. Still trying to figure out the best way to deal with this. On other websites that were just a handful of pages I recreated everything from scratch but I have hundreds of templates used for galleries and free sites.

Hitting the gym after lunch with Christy and then I have some restaurant mailers to create.

Good Day

Going to work on biz stuff today and other than running out to get a meatball sandwich I'll be in front of a computer all day.

Cleo,
Maybe it's a sign to create all new templates. Get the creative juices flowing and who knows...maybe even a few extra sales with newer looking stuff

(I am very guilty of not doing this myself)

That feature is built into Dreamweaver.

I could easily move all the head css into my external stylesheet. The problem is I don't want dozens of styles with names like ry2106, wu566, rt876 etc.

What seems to be working so far is to just use a few pieces of my old templates pasted into new templates and then I fix the handful of styles from Golive by giving them proper names and moving into the stylesheet.

I'm using div tags to hold my content but using tables to arrange the thumbs. I went with tables for my thumbs because I often drag them around and change their order. Tables make this easy. I put everything in div tags because I like round corners and drop shadows. GoLive used css in the head with random names for tables but Dreamweaver prefers the old table tags. So I've made whole new tables.

I spent sometime last night researching what doc type to use and encoding.
I went with this for my new templates.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

Here is a resulting gallery

Except fro a few minor things it validates nicely.
