transfering images from photoshop into Dreamweaver

[artflea]

I am very new at this. I am a graphic artist and I would like to design my first web site. I work mostly in Photoshop. I recently purchased Dreamweaver MX. I designed the pages and the background for my site in Photoshop; I saved each image separately as a jpeg, including a background that I would like to use consistently on all of the web sites linked pages.

What steps do I need to take to transfer my images into dreamwear in order to build the site pages? I have read numerousness books and viewed tutorials, and I am still having a difficult time.

How do I insert the background page I built in Photoshop and still be able to add other graphics, text, and rollover button on top of the background? I've tried to save the background as a template, but I don't like the way it tiles, I prefer the background be one solid background design.

Drag and drop always worked for me. Dreamweaver also supports placing an image temporarily in the background to build your layout over the top of.

As for a non tiling page background you must use CSS:

<style type="text/css">
body {background:url('/path/to/my/image.jpg') no-repeat;}
</style>
