Journal January 5th 2011

Today we reviewed the uses of Dreamweaver and why it is such a useful program. It was also our last day to work on our web page assignment.

Dreamweaver Review

WYSISYG Stands for- What you see is what you get

3 reasons to use Dreamweaver- Speed, convenience and organization

Dreamweaver offers a HTML editor as well

FTP Stands for- File Transfer Protocol

FTP capability in Dreamweaver is convenient because you don't have to use a separate FTP program

A "site" in dreamweaver is a folder that contains your web site and all it's files

A template allows you to create one master page the other pages are based on

Unless you tell it otherwise, dreamweaver rewrites the HTML

After you change your preferences, errors are presented in yellow

When you press F12 in dreamweaver it opens whatever browser is your default browser and previews the web page you are working on.
