GETTING S TARTED
First, you need to decide what you want to put on your website: images, files, videos,
PDF documents, PowerPoint presentations, etc. To create and maintain an organized
website, you need to establish a hierarchy of folders that contain all of the components
that make up your site. This folder is called your Local root folder. It is important
because this is where Dreamweaver looks for all your files.
To create a root folder, follow these steps:
1. Create a new folder on your desktop or personal partition. On the desktop, right-click and choose New Folder.
2. Give the folder a brief, but descriptive name. Do not use capital letters, spaces, or
special characters when naming folders and files for your website. All of your pages will
be saved within this folder.
3. Open the folder, and create another new folder inside. Name this folder images. Put
all of your images, buttons, movie files, etc. inside the images folder.
