Alright I've gotten a few pages up and I've gotten things sorted out. Now I'm trying to go about designing my webpage. But I'm not exactly sure how that works. I have Macromemedia Dreamweaver and Photoshop 7.0. Can I use Dreamweaver? Is it just like building a regular webpage? How do I get it published onto my site?
I've read through the tutorials but the tags still confuse me, how do I use them? I'm familiar with HTML, I've actually built a webpage or two and I've designed themes for other things. Am I just thinking to hard on this?
HTML Help Please!

Think of ***tags*** as simple place-holders. The automatic updater replaces all ***tags*** with the corresponding HTML code, nothing more, nothing less. That's why you have to upload all of your pages in the workspace folder: the updater looks for pages in the workspace folder, then looks for ***tags*** in those pages, then create the pages that show up in your public_html folder by replacing all the ***tags*** with the appropriate code.
I'm not sure about Dreamweaver, I know some HTML editors "break" the pages by automatically adding in junk code. We really ought to put up a list of editors that aren't compatible with Comicgenesis one of these days...

Front Page anyone?
Most web design programs replace * with ∗ to fix this open it in Notepad and edit it manually.

I don't understand your question...
You put the ***tags*** in your pages. You upload them to the workspace folder if you are working on indextemplate.html or dailytemplate.html, and in workspace/webpages for ALL other pages.
Then, you trigger a regular manual update or wait 24 hours. The updater goes through the files in workspace and workspace/webpages and create the actual pages visitors will see on your site, replacing all the ***tags*** with appropriate code. You shouldn't have to edit any "tag code" yourself.
