How to Insert pictures with captions in Dreamweaver

Welcome to the forums, @hngaylor.

As with so many things in HTML/CSS, there is no single “best” way to do this. The best approach will depend on the context and content. You could use <p> tags to mark up the caption and then wrap it and the image in a div to keep them together. Alternatively, there’s the newer <figure> and <figcaption> elements in HTML5, but their usage is slightly more specific. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/figure

More information about your project would make it easier to offer recommendations.

As TechnoBear said above it all depends on context as there may be special requirements to take into consideration.
