So I'm in a web page design class and we're using Dreamweaver. I'm really enjoying it so far and am making a web page portfolio to display my artwork as my overall project. I've been working on it mostly in my apartment and not in the lab as it's much easier for me. However I was abscent one week and my teacher was out the next (1 day a week class) so I haven't moved anywhere lately cause I'm stuck on a problem that I can't get past....

Anywho, my background is an inserted picture rather than an image loaded as a "background." This way I can put the "buttons" (read: Text written in Photoshop..) I want strategically on the image so that they won't move their place when the web browser is stretched into different shapes. So what I'm wondering is if/how I can make the text on the image become a clickable button in Dreamweaver. On the image, I wrote things like "About Me," "Artwork," and "Links" with the Adobe text tool. How do I somehow enclose these in buttons in Dreamweaver? Is it possible? It seems that I should be able to make something like an invisible table around them and make it link to it's according webpage.

Let me know if you have any questions if I didn't explain my situation clear enough.

Thanks for any help guys

Edit (simplified): I have an image on my webpage. Is there anyway I can select a specific area on the webpage within Dreamweaver and designate it as a button that executes a link? In this case, the area will be over writing that's in the picture being used, but the writing isn't from text typed in Dreamweaver.
