The Untitled Document page
If Dreamweaver has already been installed on your computer, you
may see a page that says Untitled Document at the
top left. It looks like this:
The Untitled Document page.
The Site Map
To open the Site Map window, from the Untitled Document window
go to the Site Menu and choose Site Map.
The Site Map is the control center for creating a Website in Dreamweaver.
From this window, you can see every page you create in a Website
and how they are connected together:
The Site Map.
Defining a new site in the Site Map
1. Choose New. The following screen will appear:
Site Definition box.
2. Go to the Advanced section by clicking the Advanced
tab. You will then see this:
The advanced section of the site definition
window.
3. Next to Site Name, type in the name you want
to give to your website. This tells Dreamweaver what you will be
calling this website. It would be best to use a meaningful name.
Let’s use My First Website.
4. Click the yellow folder next to the Local Root Folder
dialog box.
5. Browse to your Desktop and choose the root folder you created
called My First Website. This tells Dreamweaver
where it should be keeping the pages you will be creating for this
site.
6. Next, click on Remote Info. This is where you
enter information that allows Dreamweaver to connect with the computer
that will be hosting your website on the Internet. Look at the next
picture to see how this is done.
Important: Be SURE
to type in your password correctly--no uppercase or spelling mistakes.
If you forget your tripod username or password, go back and create
another account.
