Are there any "best practices" you could suggest when trying to use CSS and Expression Web with what I have seen in many Visual Studio books which suggest Master Pages, Themes and Skins? I've noticed that Expression seems to fill a void in VS (ease of design). I have been trying to learn ASP.NET with VS2005 and now along comes Expression Web with graphic emphasis on CSS page design. Can you produce content on integrating the two development systems?  Thanks.

Well, I'm right behind you on this.
I don't think I'll be jumping into Orcas (VS2007) anytime soon, until the dust settles. However, I'd love to use the new visual designer that comes in Orcas for ASP.Net (which is basically EW), but integrated into VS.

So, for the time being, we may have to switch back and forth between VS2005 and EW to get to final result.

Yes, I like to learn as well how the MasterPages, skins and themes are done in EW that can be used in ASP.Net.

So Dustin, what are you up to...?

Yes, I will have to grow the site into covering content like this, but I don't know how soon it will be. Currently I'm finishing off recording the design series and then I'll be heading to MIX07 on Sunday. When I get back from that I need to do some work for LVS, and work on getting the design series available online. After that I'll have to get back into another content push, and I haven't decided yet what that will be.

=========================
My wife has given birth to our twins, so I'm still going to be spotty around here. It never seems to correct itself does it? I'm sorry, I'm trying.
