Using Dreamweaver to set up a new site
Once you create your site structure (see “Organizing the site structure” on page
98), you must designate the new site in Dreamweaver. Setting up this local site in
Dreamweaver means that you can use Dreamweaver with FTP to upload your site
to the Web server, automatically track and maintain your links, and
collaboratively share files. It is best to set up your local site in Dreamweaver before
you begin creating your pages.
The local site is the site structure that you set up on your computer to contain all
your folders, assets, and files for a particular site (see “Organizing the site
structure” on page 98).
The local root folder of your site should be the folder you set up specifically for
that site. One good organizational approach is to create a folder named Sites, and
then create local root folders inside that folder, one local root folder for each site
you’re working on.
To create a new site:
1
Choose Site > New Site.
In the Site Definition dialog box that appears, the Local Info category
is selected.
