PSD to HTML
RJBoudreaux Updated - 2nd Mar 2012
Yes, in fact one of the first Photoshop tutorials early last year was a similar subject. Essentially the PSD is broken into individual background images and then pieced back together with HTML and CSS. I am currently working on the next segment which takes the "wireframe" layout and transforms it from PSD to HTML.

Search
lastchip 2nd Mar 2012
A subject that has interested me for a while and I'm no further forward to understanding how you implement a search functionality on a site without using 3rd party applications.

It would be useful information (and education).

Many say use the CGI - but how?

Such as PHP, ColdFusion, and others can process form submit requests including "search" functionality that is built into the code without outside applications, and I am currently working on a piece to address your specific question. It should be published in this blog within the next two weeks.

Photoshop?
JasonATCITD Updated - 8th Mar 2012
Seems to me you'd be much better off using Fireworks. It can do everything in this tutorial and you have the benefit of exporting to a flattened PNG file. With Photoshop, even after you merge the layers and reduce the quality, you still end up with a huge JPG file (you really don't want to save as a PNG with Photoshop). But yeah, I get it that more people have access to Photoshop than Fireworks....

Fireworks
RJBoudreaux 16th Mar 2012
I use Photoshop only because it's been in my toolbox for years, and I am comfortable with the photo edit tool, but I have just begun working with Fireworks and hope to get up to speed on it's advantages soon!
