Web Design Training

I'm doing an online class through SkillSoft on the use of Dreamweaver MX. It's making me want to go out and get my own copy! I am realizing that I know NOTHING about web design, not that that's a surprise, but I'm learning a ton, and it's all VERY basic stuff. Dreamweaver appears to make it so easy to build a web page, that I'd love to start giving it a go. Of course there is serious irony in taking this course. They strongly encourage people to design web pages with the assumption that people are using a wide variety of browsers and a variety of different versions of those browsers. In order to take the course, however, one MUST use Windows and Internet Explorer. I've tried using Firefox in spoofing mode, and it just doesn't work, so I laughed out loud at their inability to follow what they define as a basic principle in web design.

In spite of that, it is a great tool and I'm learning a ton. It's way better than the course I took on Windows Server 2003. That just gave me a bunch of info without a whole lot of practical knowledge that I could use.
