STSv4.5 - Help with initial design please?

[Winterlily]

Hi guys,

 

First, my disclaimer is that I'm brand new to this stuff, so please forgive any truly stupid questions. ;)

 

Okay. I have STS v4.5 installed over a fresh install of osC. I think it's working. (I haven't done too much except poke around trying to learn a bit of how it works.) My question is about custom design. I have a page designed in my graphics program that I want to use -- talking here about true design, NOT layout of boxes etc. Now I have no clue what to do. I know that I need to slice it up, slicing the header, each button, each graphic, etc, but then what? What do I name each one - does it matter? I can assign a URL when slicing, am I supposed to? What should it be? Or is that linking done in STS somewhere? How? Where? Basically, I need a moron-proof step-by-step for making my completed design usable in STS and HOW. Can anyone help, please?? I'm sure this is way easier than I think, but right now it's looking quite daunting.

 

Thanks so much!

Will do, Bill, thanks. (And sorry - I was concerned that that thread was for more actual support versus design. Will repost there.)
