Dreamweaver - editregion and templates???

[brintonwhite]

I have been doing a tutorial from a magazine and at various parts Of the tutorial I was asked to make an editable region. I followed what it said and it did produce an area with editable region written in it. My problem is, I cannot do anything in this region - it seems to be locked off from working on. Also, it asked me to make a template which I did and I don't know how to use this either. It placed this template in a folder for some reason.

I am new to dreamweaver and have to say I am finding it the most complex and poorly tutored program I have EVER come across. Even flash seems simple in comparison. Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction towards some good tutorials on the above subjects. I want to just forget dreamweaver but on the other hand don't want to be beaten by it.

Thank you.

You must first create a template (set page and text colors, navigation and logos that you want on every page, etc.), THEN you can create editable regions within that template.

Once the template is created and editable regions defined, you can then Create New Page from the template and insert the specific page content into the editable regions.

The editable regions are not editable - they don't work

Attach your template file to your next post. I'll take a look at it and see if I can find the problem.
