Can someone who is not proficient in HTML code use Adobe Dreamweaver with success?

Absolutely! Some of the templates included with Dreamweaver work so well I've become spoiled. I do agree they throw in quite a bit of nonsense code though.

Dreamweaver tinkering led to my knowledge of HTML I have now. I learned a ton just by getting frustrated with things like putting borders in, adding images, and other easy stuff. After the frustrating parts I realized I actually knew what I was doing!

It's great!

I can't answer all your questions. However, I used Dreamweaver for a long time. It is a good WYSIWYG program that needs no programming.As an html programer, though, I have to say that trying to analyze Dreamweaver code after the event is awful.

It adds a lot of junk code.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
