Files and Folders

We're keeping all the DMAA web files on the H drive, under "DMAA website".

There, you can see all the folders and files we use to make our site.

Using dreamweaver, open the file you would like to modify.

 

 

Changing the Text

Type whatver you please in the page you've opened.

Change format in the bottom. You can change the style, italics, font type, etc.

 

Making Links

You can link to another page by clicking on the folder icon beside the "link" object at the bottom of the screen, or by dragging the "target" icon to a file on the right.

If you are pointing to an outside link, be sure to include the full address: http://www.google.ca

 

 

Paragraphs and lines

The default for dreamweaver is to start a new paragraph when you hit 'enter'. In order to start a new line, you need to look at a bit of code. Open the "split" tab at the top left of the page. Find the code you want to change by clicking on the paragraph.

 

Paragraphs look like this:

 

<p>  Paragraph 1 </p>

 

<p>  Paragraph 2 </p>

 

 

While lines look like this:

 

<p> 

line1  <br>
line 2  <br>

line 3

</p>

 

You can see that there is just one paragraph there.

 

 

Uploading your page

 

After you have saved your page (ctrl +S), you can upload by clicking once on the file in the navigation bar on the right, then selecting the blue up-pointing arrow near the top.
