Need assistance with Photoshop template

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the forum, and I'm somewhat new to Web design. I've designed a couple of Websites using Dreamweaver templates, and I'm trying to upgrade to designing my own templates. So far, I've: 1. Designed a template using Photoshop, 2. Sliced the template, 3. Exported from Photoshop and imported to Dreamweaver, and 4. Deleted the main body slice and saved the body image as the background. Now I would like for the body of the template to be an editable region, but I'm stuck in this process. I can change it to an editable region and enter text, but the text starts in the middle of the body instead of at the top. How can I adjust it to where when I enter text, it begins at the top of the body section? I would also like this field to have an overflow feature so when the text is longer than the body, it shows a scrollbar. If it overflows in its current state, it breaks the template apart. What steps am I missing? I've searched the net, but I'm having difficulty finding a tutorial that can break this process down for me. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Give the center section a fixed height, then use overflow: scroll in your css to make it scrollable.

If you want to be in the web design business, you need to learn to hand code HTML and CSS and NOT rely on Photoshop's export - Photoshop is a GRAPHICS program, it wasn't meant to write good html code!

As much as possible, to prevent further recurrence, stay away from using Photoshop for this, because it's not really intended for the job but for graphics / visual tasks.
