Can someone recommend a really good online web design course, using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac?

Not free, but very good: [www.lynda.com](http://www.lynda.com)

I use their books to teach in classes, and they are pretty direct and easy to follow.  
You might just want to try a few sample lessons, and I think you can even sign up month to month, which might be cheaper for you.

And lest I forget, [www.w3schools.com](http://www.w3schools.com) is FREE, but not Dreamweaver. Still, you can probably learn a lot using XHTML.

[Have at it.](http://www.google.com/search?q=dreamweaver+8+free+online+training) Generally speaking, university sites have very good training.
