Hello im new here and i just needed a bit of help.
First id like to say ive done a corse in web design through Ics which ill admit was a shit corse and ive had to work most of it out for myself, there is just to final things that i just cant seem to get my head around. Sorry before hand for long post.

Firstly slices. Ive been designing the webpages in photoshop first (dont no if this is the prober way so correct me if im wrong). Then saveing the doc as a webpage and opening it for editing in dreamweaver.
Anyway when ive made the page ive been told in my corese and on tutorials that anything that I will be editing such as link areas,headers,area of text, ive been told to make a slice. But when ive done this i end up with loads of auto slices that i cant get rid of. Because of this by the time ive finished makeing my page I end of with a image folder just filled with images that are just parts of the background or pointless white space. How do i stop this??

Secondly. How do you designers get your pictures onto the web. I upload all of mine onto photobucket and then replace all the code. I dont think this is the correct way.

Thanks for reading any help would be exelent.
