So... Using the knowledge I received from creating the Velociraptor template, I created a new template for the ITS website.  Here is a screen shot...

I started with a blank workspace and set the properties for 1024 X 768, then added the top banner and the new ITS logo that I created.  Then I added the marquee underline under the banner and the one at the bottom of the screen.  After that I added the side menu bar and created the buttons on it, then the words on the buttons.  Last, I created the bottom footer with teh copyright information.

I think there are something like 16 or 17 layers to the whole thing. 
Then I used the slice tool and created all of the slices just like in the Velociraptor example.  Now I am busy trying to use it in Dreamweaver to update my site.  I have an idea (from the VR example) on creating a couple of the pages.  This is fun, but sometimes very time consuming.

Here is a screenshot of some changes I made to my website.  I changed the font of the Level 1 heading and the color to match the background of the web site.  I also changed the font of the left column menu bar by following the directions in our homework instructions.  I've also been working on the flash and photoshop instructions.  See below:
Here I have added the flash to the Velociraptor webpage that I created according to the instructions in Photoshop, then added the Flash to it in Dreamweaver.

Wow!  It has been two weeks since I have posted anything here...  Hmmm... It hasn't been two weeks since I have done any work in Dreamweaver and Flash though!  My website is up and started... http://www.tompkins-co.org/tmpits

Yesterday I had some trouble publishing it to the web from my laptop (I have to do that while I am at work because the it is behind the firewall and I can't access it from outside of the network).  Somehow I had the settings wrong in the site| manage sites... and I ended up creating a new one - site setup - and lost the old one and now I can't "put" my site up in Dreamweaver.  I finally, because I was running out of time, just did a copy paste in Windows Explorer ftp. 

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem so I can utilize Dreamweaver like I am supposed to be doing?
