Back to Dreamweaver Techniques
It's important when you work with Dreamweaver to create a Dreamweaver site for each project you work on. A site groups all of your files together inside Dreamweaver and lets you do important site functions such as checking links.
A Dreamweaver site also lets you edit files in your My Documents folder and then upload the files to a remote server. If you upload your files at the end of every class period then you'll halways have a backup of your website and your teachers will be able to follow your progress.
Follow these steps:
1) Start the new site by clicking on the Site menu and choosing New Site... This will bring up a series of questions
2) Enter a name for your site and click Next
3) Choose No for a server technology and click Next
4) Choose to Edit local copies on my machine
and click Next
