I don't know how you do this in DW (don't use it personally) but you need to set the border to 0 on images.
In your CSS it would be something like:
code:
img { border: 0px; }
P.S. things like this should be posted in Geek Day.

In DW, go into Page Preferences (From within the top menu somewhere), theres a section for links.

My critiscms, dont take any of it badly though
Too image heavy, the left hand swirly graphic etc all loads each time you go to a new page, even on a fairly quick connection the page loads up quite slowly
The shadowing on the home page where you have the 3 images doesnt fit in with the rest of the design
I don't like the fact you have used an image for the text on the bio page
By having a fixed height design you limit yourself to what you can fit on the page
What sam said can be done easily in DW, click the image and in the properties at the bottom it will say border:, just set it to 0px. If it is, click the image, press the right arrow to get the cursor in the table and you'll see the same property but for the table cell itself.

I really like the design, but you need to relook at the use of images as it takes forever to load up a fairly basic site. For example you're using multiple copies of the same image such as the left hand side leaf design, as well as well as using images for white space which you could just replace with a div the same size.
Also perhaps rethink about using Flickr as it isn't terrible fast and instead have a gallery section on your site (a JQuery carousel and lightbox would sort it).
A must though, change the Titles tags on your website as currently the enter page is 'new edit' and the bio page is 'contact' and add some meta tags and use link tags to pages as neither of these will do you favours with search engines.
But for someone that isn't a web designer i think it's a decent site layout
