Hey everyone I need a little help I’m trying to set up an e-mail broadcast using dream weaver does anyone have any idea how I do this?
I’ve already setup the template layout, and have the pictures linking to a host, but what is the next step how do I send out the file through my e-mail to others to test it?

gurrrRRRR, I know your learning so please do not take the soapbox the wrong way!
SoapBox time:
Dreamweaver is not an email client, it cannot and will not ever send the email news letters or advertisments you make.
End SoapBox Time
With that said you need to use DW to create the email layout you then import it into a program like Outlook or another program like Advanced Emailer to use that file.
Keep in mind that you will not be sending the images with the email so those will need to be hosted on line and all your links to any images should be absolute links.(which you have done great!)
So there is this great emailing program called Advanced Emailer there is a free trial download and it's something like $70 something to buy it... well worth it!
Find that app and report back with new questions.

Group Mail by Infacta is another nice one.
Last time I used the free version was a while ago but the free version used to (and I believe still does) allow you to send to groups of 100 emails or less. Bigger lists 101+ and you have to buy it. No trial period.
Keep in mind that is 100 per group you have. You could have 10, 12, 35, etc groups of 100. One draw back to that is the duplicate email address feature doesn't work to well that way.
Also certainly worth the money to buy it if you ask me.
