Macromedia has a nice little article entitled Five Steps to More Professional Web Pages with Dreamweaver MX. The steps are:
Step 1: Export your JavaScript and CSS to external files
Step 2: Export your site without template mark-up
Step 3: Future-proof your site with XHTML
Step 4: Tidy up your code with the Apply Source Formatting command
Step 5: Validate your page to find basic errors
I think that 1, 3, and 5 are really important. As someone who frequently edits (in BBEdit) pages created in Dreamweaver, I think number 4 looks good, too. Number 2 doesn't seem to be a big deal. Nevertheless, I commend this article to all Dreamweaver users.
