I've found that the trick to making consistent buttons in Photoshop is to make the basic button without text on one layer, then make a new layer for the text for each button. That way all the buttons can live in one source file.

Drop shadows are done by duplicating an image layer, filling it with the background color (usually black), then doing a gaussian blur filter on the layer.

The pages are pretty straightforward, HTML-wise. I don't like frames or image maps when I encounter them in other people's web pages, so I don't use them in mine. Tables can control page layout adequately and work on almost all browsers now.
