Im new to dreamweaver and when I move an image around it always seems to snap to the grid. Is there away to disable it so I could just drag the image around freely

Web design is slightly different from other design work in that respect. The image isn't 'snapping to the grid' as such, it's just going to a place in the flow of the document. Images don't automatically have a static position in web design. As different people have different screen sizes, it wouldn't make sense to give everything a static position on the page. If you want to position an image somewhere, you should use CSS. There are different things you can do in CSS according to what exactly you want to do with the image (i.e. if you want to stick it 10 pixels away from the right of the browser window, no matter what the screen size is, you'd use something like:

Code:
img#MyImage {
    position: absolute;
    right: 10px;
}
I'd advise you go smewhere like http://www.w3schools.com and take an HTML and CSS tutorial so you get an understanding of what Dreamweaver is doing 'behind the scenes'. It'll make your life a lot easier in the long run...
