As said earlier, it all depends on what your goals are and how much knowledge you have. Lynda.com is a great resource. I used this for about a year until I learned Dreamweaver and Photoshop. I've created some free- though very rudimentary- tutorials on how to set up a basic table in Dreamweaver (using the table as a framework to house your website): Create website in Dreamweaver free tutorial Once again, nothing fancy...no CSS, very basic and simple design structure. It should do the trick for the site you are trying to create though...using less columns and rows. Keep in mind, it's not the layout you are trying to create, but it gives a general idea of how the basics of maneuvering around in Dreamweaver. More advanced tutorials to come on the site... I also have a very, very basic tutorial on how to design a banner graphic in Photoshop:Create Graphics in Photoshop again...these are basic tutorials and I am sure there are other good tutorials out there also. I am no Dreamweaver or Photoshop expert...but I've learned over the years just how to get by with what I needed for the moment. Hope they help some.

"Webmaster" still gives me the impression that you are working for someone else, maintaining others' websites.

They will issue you a check once you reach the $100 mark. Google reviews accounts on the first week of each month and issues checks the last week of the month...so say you reach $100 the middle of next month (november), google reviews your account the first week of December and issues your check the last week of December.

could be a combination of things...you can be the designer, the webmaster, and an entrepreneur all rolled in one. More than anything, though, you might want to diversify with the title by sticking with "entrepreneur"...kind of gives you some wiggle room ...

Definitely not cool. you may want to pursue the idea of going legal with it...or just let it slide for now, it's your call. I've had people copy my sites before. I ended up changing my websites and adding to them so often that it didn't really matter to me, but stealing google code...that is crazy.

COngrats!!!

I would do as the others have suggested-- just taking a small slice of the gradient you want to use. It can be really small. Some of my sites use a larger sample--but if you set it to repeat itself (easy in Dreamweaver) it should turn out just fine.
