Editing outer page layout

[Air-Tech]

I'm considering making some changes to my outer page layout so that page content isn't so far down the page.

The page was originally designed for me (Dreamweaver I assume), so I'm not very clued up here. I have had a look at HTML & CSS books / tutorials & have been holding back on messing about with things, but would now like to get on with it, so a few questions;

I'm figuring that if I snapshot before tweaking, that I can recover easily if I well & truly break things?

I have access to Dreamweaver, Is this what I should be using?

Are base.css & screen.css the right places to look if I want to alter the upper part of my outer page layout?

Is this wise?


Any answers much appreciated!

Use Firefox and install the Firebug add-in and learn how to use it. You will then be able to dynamically explore the page, the html and css and make changes and see the results in real time.
