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..."
