A question for the pros, to help guide my way....

Oh, I forgot...I use Dreamweaver, Microsoft expression, notepad (not the ++ one), and I work as if I see it online, not via a wammpp (or something like that) - I fire all files right up via FTP (checking all search engines for looks as I progress - it is just my habit).
