This may be basic to some...
What is the best way to integrate CCS projects with a product like Go-live (or any web editor). Do you create a web site with go live, a project in CCS and integrate the pages later.
Anybody know of any tutorials in this area?
Thanks in advance

My approach would be to create a project in CCS first, then edit the pages in another Web editor like GoLive. Although our designers usually first create many designs variants/drafts with some graphics design tools (like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop), then they use Web design software (could be Dreamweaver or GoLive) to copy the graphics and apply the design to pages that were created with CCS.

Thanks Peter, I guess my dilema is that after I create a project in CCS and publish it, I can see all the .ASP and .HTML files that are generated.
If I then modify just the HTML files in another editor, when I make further changes, bug fixes, or whatever to the original CCS project and re-publish - do the HTML files get written over?

Yes, and overwriting those HTML files is perfectly fine.
Our designers even load the HTML files directly from CCS project (those that were created by CCS), edit them and save them back. So the next time when a developer opens a page in CCS he can be quite surprised with how beautiful it suddenly became 
The only thing to remember is not to remove the comments from the HTML when editing the page externally. Most of those comments are used by CCS to recognize the components within the page. It's best to backup a project often and/or use a versioning system like VSS (which is what we use).

Oh, BTW, in CCS you can right-click on a page and select "Open Externally". This feature is provided specifically to allow users to edit the page with any external Web editor, including GoLive.
