Dreamspark

I had been playing with Amaya to do my html homework and having a hard time getting it to do what I wanted, when my brother reminded me that I had downloaded Microsoft Expression Studio from DreamSpark and that included a website design component. That ended up being easier to use/more powerful and included an FTP component to use to upload the webpage.
I had originally downloaded Expression Studio primarily for the graphic design section for my digital scrapbooking but also wanting to learn the web design piece. Microsoft DreamSpark gives college and graduate students a chance to download and learn to use professional developer and design tools. You have to establish and verify your student status once a year, but it's well worth it to be able to work with the software. It's a great opportunity.
