DWT,CSS, Templates, Themes???

[Harry Clark]

I just upgraded from FP 2000 to FP 2003. I am really
confused! I'm having trouble understanding the difference
between DWT, CSS, Templates, and Themes. I have an
existing website that I want to maintain uniformity among
the pages. I want to set background, page color, text
type and color, hyperlink colors, navigational borders,
etc. What's the best way to accomplish this end with
existing pages and future pages?

Here are two good sources of information that helped me decide.

http://www.jgtemplates.com/learn/

I started with themes, then worked with regular templates, but I have just purchased my first DWT package, so I can't tell you the pros and cons of each.

DWT=Dynamic Web Template. See "About Dynamic Web Templates" in the help.
CSS is used for all kinds of styling. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/
Templates are basic pages/webs where you just have to add content. The
rest is there.
Themes are a collection of images and styles you can apply to a page.
See "About themes" in the help.
Everytime you have a question about basic functions in FP you should
consider the help your first stop.

As you have probably figured out by now, CSS or a Theme is the way to do
what you want.
