Paul you are 100% correct my comment about binning Dreamweaver was meant to be ligh hearted, as in from the prospective of a complete newbie trying to get to grips with Xara and Dreamweaver at the same time will ultimately end in a muddle and confusion, I was simply suggesting putting some sites together in Xara and experiencing a bit of feel good factor, then moving on later to actually understanding how all these things work and of course learning more indepth about html, Css, Javascript, PHP the list is endless.
I should have made that clearer, of course the true professional cannot get by with just Xara you make a very valid point

EDIT
Looking at Paul's post it would be great to have it referenced somewhere, it os one of the best descriptions of the differncies between Xara and the more professional authoring software I have seen. I have read a few posts on these forum where people compare the softwares not really understanding the differences this explains it very well.
