Or do I have a way of easily bringing it over once I finish designing and setting up the page?

Thanks.

Kevin answered this very well. You don't have to re-write everything from scratch but there will be some copying and pasting as you move your content over to the new design. It did take a few days for the complete transition and if you have a very large site I would imagine it would take longer. So the sooner you can do it the better. I probably wouldn't have been as quick to do it had my SBI! site had 150 pages or something like that.

What I did was completed my entire design in DW, then I opened every single page in my web browser and just grabbed the content and pasted it into my new design.

One more thing, I had a really neat idea for you. Have you ever thought about doing weekly conference calls for your forum members, for 2createawebsite training or brainstorming questions, etc? I think that conference calls or teleseminars (whatever you want to call it) will stick out like a sore thumb and grow your community here.

What does everyone else here think?

I have thought about this and have gotten requests from friends as well. I think I have enough of an interested audience to pull off something like this now. Stay tuned... ya never know.
