Experimenting with web software

I just downloaded and tried out Dreamweaver.  Since the only software I've used before is SeaMonkey, it felt kind of like I was behind the dashboard of an expensive foreign car after being used to a very old Volkswagon.  It was actually kind of intimidating.  I did experiment with type and colors and just played around with it for a little bit.  It's going to take a lot more to get me comfortable with it.  I have no idea what kind of website I want to create, so I just need to keep playing around with it and hope it starts to feel more intuitive.  I did watch the first tutorial, and I thought that was really helpful.  I think I need to watch it again.
