dreamweaver mx2004

Hi all, new here. I have a copy of dreamweaver mx2004 and need to make a
website, I also have a book about it,
Macromedia Naked Dreamweaver MX 2004 by Sherry Bishop and Piyush Patel.
Are these up to date enough to make a website good enough to sell our own
music online and crafts?
I am thinking about all the newer browsers that have come out, opera, ff, IE7
and such. Will mx2004 be able to talk to all of those? Is there anything major
missing from 2004 I should know about? I am a computer hardware expert but
don't have much web design experience so am new to that. I have a scholastic
version of mx2004, will that stop me from making my own website? Thanks in
advance.

You need to learn HTML and CSS and whatever server side language that
you are going to use to deploy your shop, otherwise its going to be an
up hill struggle.

Personally I would get the latest version and a book to accompany it,
but only after you have learnt the basics.

Your MX 2004 can produce all you need, however, begin to learn HTML & CSS
ASAP
Don't use "layers" for layout (use DIV's and or Tables)
and avoid absolutely positioned DIV's.

We will be glad to help if you post any problem code oe upload and provide a
link.

Welcome

No, but the license precludes you from building a commercial site with the
academic version.
