Dreamweaver to edit Wordpress?

So many things to get done and not near enough time! This past First Friday was quiet, rainy and cold but the folks that came out were art buyers! Such a refreshing change from the wine drinkers and snackers. I enjoy the crowds and lively conversations and it’s nice to see the same faces month to month but we are trying to make our way as artists so selling is important too. With First Friday done, Lee and I are getting ready to hang a show for next weekend. I have a few matts to cut tonight or in the morning, then pop things into frames to hang Monday. After the show is hung, it will be back to Wordpress.

I have been feeling like there must be a way to combine Wordpress and Dreamweaver; it’s all about the code right? At my last MySQL class someone asked which code editor was used in the Wordpress class and the answer was Dreamweaver. I have been searching online for information on how to use Dreamweaver for this and found a tutorial on Adobe that tells how to set up Dreamweaver for a content management system. So far, I have gotten my Wordpress test site set up in Dreamweaver – a very promising start! Last week I took the time to print out all the code from the dashboard of my test site and it’s roughly 400 pages! There is no way that I can fathom writing that much code and I can’t read any of it and make any sense of where the parts are. I can’t find an individual page nor can I find the information that has been entered into the header for example. All I find is ‘Get Header’, the header shows up but I can’t make changes to it. I’m just not seeing the big picture! The miracle of Dreamweaver appears to be the way it calls on the necessary code sections and pulls them out for tweaking; I will find out this week… I don’t like the Wordpress sites that I have created, the theme is not consistent among sites and I can’t find the code to make changes – I do hope that next week I will learn a few surprises! It’s geeky but I can’t wait!

We have spent the weekend cleaning and finally rehanging artwork (from when the floors were done last summer!) to get ready for a Bridal Shower this afternoon for my daughter. The house is no where clean enough but it’s been a full 2 days just on the first floor and the energy is gone! Old houses seem to create dust to replace any dust you remove in a matter of hours! With daylight savings time change today, hopefully it will get dark early enough to hide any errant dust! I have been looking forward to this marriage for a long time, it’s all wonderful, what’s a little dust!
