Defining a Site

You need to define a site within Dreamweaver. This process ensures that all pages, text, pictures, and media associated with your web site are in one location. It is also used to upload your web site to a specified web server, and to manage updates to your site. Before starting this process create a folder on your jump drive and call it 'website'.

Whenever you start Dreamweaver in the lab at Seneca you will be asked to MANAGE your site. You are being asked to define the location of your site. The first time you do this it will be on your jumpdrive and it should be in the folder called 'WEBSITE' .

For your site to be visible it must be on a WEB SERVER. The server for your site is the Seneca Learn server. So when this box appears select as ACCESS > FTP.
