class notes 2/17

Website Setup:

Main folder = root folder

In web design, you design locally (on your computer), and then you upload it to the (remote) server, where it can be viewed by everyone.

To connect to Server:

Site->Manage sites

New site

The HTTP Address (URL) of your site is http://students.smcm.edu/yourusername

No to server technology

You want to connect with FTP: your hostname is www.smcm.edu, you skip the folder space, and put your Email username and password and click on Use Secure FTP.

if you change your email password make sure that you change it in Dreamweaver!!

index.html is the first page your browser will direct to!

HW: Scan your signature, create a blog post!
