Hey Markk, this is definitely an area ofexpertise for me but I'm so busy right now that I can't reallyoffer much.

 

Did you get Dreamweaver andFireworks?  If so there should be some documentation and tutorialsavailable.  I can tell you that Fireworks is a great tool for web graphics. It does a lot of stuff that no other program does.  For instance, it'sreally easy to make javaScript style roll over buttons.  Just make a threelayer graphic for the different states and export.  It makes the .gif'sand writes out the javaScript.  I once spent a month doing the same thing withPhotoShop and hand coding the JS.  I later found out that I could havedone the same thing in 2 hours with Fireworks.  There's a wholechapter in the book on this.

 

Animated gifs are really easy tomake.  That's also described in the manual.
