Hi. If you can see the smarty tags in the Dreamweaver design view the smarty plugin was not installed. The plugin basically takes everything that is in {} and turns it into a small server markup icon in Dreamweaver. This way you can edit tables, and line breaks without the Smarty code in the way.
If you don't want to edit the real pages I would use ftp and download the template to your local hard drive, then open them in Dreamweaver make your edits and then re-upload the file. This is also helpful if you keep the file open in Dreamweaver after you upload it, you can use the Dreamweaver undo and redo for trial and error. (Make and edit, upload the templateБ─╕if you donБ─≥t like it undo and upload the original.)
If you used Homesite and know HTML you should have no problems making the modifications that you need. Webmaster mode will be your friend, I would give it another shot, it is not intended to be a WYSIWYG editor, but it will let you know which files to open in Dreamweaver
