Thanks Ben.
I actually was just on the side and saw the fireworks template - now just
waiting for the documentation.
I have been reading an article by Joey Durham on Fireworks and Dreamweaver
2004 of the MM devnet site, and that had a bit about slicing. Have had a little play
around with it and have sliced up and oval - not exactly exciting website stuff, but
its a step in the right direction I guess.
I also saw/downloaded ypSlideOutMenus - looks really good.
Now to put it all together...

Hi Andrew,
I used the standard PSD template to create the Farcry Aura images. The
background and base colours were changed and a 750x100 header created.
Try the Fireworks template, created by Brendan, (bottom of
http://www.leorex.com/products/aura/ )
When you've finished your masterpiece, save for web using "File/Export..."
