Define your site in Dreamweaver. Browse to the
folder created by the unzipped file.
Template packages include Dreamweaver templates
(.dwt files, located in the Templates folder) and sample .htm
pages created from the .dwt files, located at the top level
of the package folder).
The template packages also includes image files that appear
on the sample .htm pages, (.gif or .jpg files, located in
the Images folder) and blank source images (.gif and .jpg
files) without the text for you to modify in the graphics
program of your choice.
Use the template package to create a new
site or add template files to an existing site. Create new
pages from the Dreamweaver templates (the .dwt files), modify
sample pages (.htm files) with your own content, or reformat
existing HTML pages in a site by applying a template to them.

Modifying Images
You
can edit the graphics in any graphics program-- but for ease
of use, we recommend Fireworks. For photographic or images
with many colors, we recommend Adobe Photoshop. The name and
navigation samples on the pages have been used for display
purposes and you may change to any font or color of your choice
and add any special effects you desire, such as drop shadow
or beveling.
Some images in the template package are
basically placeholders - easily changed to an image of your
choice. To maintain the integrity of the layout, you should
use the same pixel dimensions.
