Header And Repeatable (Tile) Background Images wanted in Photoshop (psd) file format. - Jack

Great job! Nice, subtle colors with a large enough sample size to avoid noticeable patterns. The header image looks out of place on the background, though, it doesn't "end" at the edges (it just looks like it was cut off.) Otherwise, you did a really good job.

Lol, not very long Brian. That was actually fairly easy - I have always liked that font. Looks like I finally got to use it :).

Awesome job as usual. I just noticed how you formated the blog entries sidebar differently, nice touch.

Heath always says "This latest layout is the best one I've ever done!". That's certainly true about this one.

Wow... I got some great responses for the tiled images! We are pretty good on those for now. Feel free to submit some more header images however!

Another SitePoint CSS Design Contest Entry - Jesse

Hi Heath,

I found Ben Kitrell through railsforum.com. I've tried to hook up with deepthoughtdesign.com, but they don't want to play. You'll understand, soon. . .

I really don't do much, but I do hand code strict markup with plenty of string manipulation with php. Right now I'm crazy over the idea of launching an interactive facebook app. I'm trying to get nolej.net to help me out, but they know i don't have any money.

I would be happy to work with you two. Well, take a look at my work ---

Hope to hear from you.

Jac – good point about the email… we will change that to a url. I took the liberty of changing your email to your url until we fix this.

I would suggest that if all you truly use Dreamweaver for is the code completion and preview, then switch to an editor only. Much cheaper! I use <a href="http://aptana.com/">Aptana</a>, which has been invaluable to me. It has code completion, html previewer, and editors for javascript, HTML, and CSS. More importantly… it’s free! Plus, it ties into subversion. This allows me to backup and version all my code from one place.

I haven’t used Dreamweaver in a long time, so I can’t vouch for all its features. I could see it being helpful for quick prototyping when working with clients, but outside of that, I would go back and redo all the code myself.

wow. I'm not sure how I feel about your form publishing my email address for the public...rather it be my website really.

I do a lot of front end design and I admit I do use Dreamweaver. However not in a traditional sense. I tend to use code view or split view fr quick visual references. using the actual program to build the architecture takes forever. On the other hand my typing skills are not the best and auto complete comes in real handy for me.

I'm merely postulating that there are hybrid users. Though hand coding in a text editor only would save me some serious dough on upgrades that are relatively useless tom me.

Creating a Website Design Using an Image Editor. - Wynter

I concur, I don't know how one could even begin doing a design without taking these into consideration!

I like my hash browns with light brown outside, and toasty hot inside! :)

I actually used to enjoy the capabilities of Dreamweaver for CSS, but after I became fluent in writing XHTML and CSS, I found that the built CSS editor actually made me slower! It got in the way, and what was the point to use it when I code code the dang CSS much faster, and do much more with it.

I must admit I do use it when I want to some filter effects. Hand coding is marvelous, it's actually a lot harder to code a website with a WYSIWYG editor, than to sit down and learn the concepts behind CSS, and XHTML instead of worrying about getting it done faster.
