  6. Setting up Dreamweaver • Click on the Dreamweaver folder • Click on the Dreamweaver icon • Copy the license number in (control-v) when requested • Click Return • You are now in business, Dreamweaver will open.

  7. The logic of web site creation • A website is in fact a folder that sits on a web server. That folder is your remote folder; it holds your remote site. • But before you put something on the web, you create it and save it on your own machine, or -in this case- in your own network folder. That folder is your local folder, it holds your local site.

  8. Creating your local folder • Go to your bsp-nas folder (click on the "my computer" icon, and then on the bsp-nas server. • In that folder, create a new folder for your local site. Name the folder. • All that you create for your website will go in there.

  9. Think ahead and organize • You may want (eventually) to create more than just material for this course. • So, open the folder you just created and create a new folder within it. Name that folder (for example, name it EdTech)

  10. Creating and saving index files • The main file in each folder should be named "index". • We will now put a blank index file in both folders. • Go to Dreamweaver and save the blank page that opened in your main local site folder. Name the page "index" • Then do a "save as" and save that same blank page in the subfolder you have created for the course.

  11. Create your site: local info • Go to Dreamweaver: new site • Name your site (ex: Emily's site) • Click on the little folder, browse to find your main site folder on bsp-nas • Now, choose Remote Info.

  12. Creating your site: remote info • In the pull down menu, choose FTP • In FTP host enter ftp.bethel.edu • In host directory, enter public_html • Enter your login and password. • Click OK

  13. Connecting to the remote site • Now your site is open (to open your site after that, click on "open site" in dreamweaver. • To connect your site to the remote site, click on the "light switch" just to the right of the pulldown menu. Turn the "light switch" off when you are not uploading or downloading.

  14. Working on pages • In your open site, click on your main index page to open it up. • Give your page a title (little window on top) • Open page properties under the Modifymenu. Give your page a background color.
