Dreamweaver

[Penfold]

I know very little about creating webpages so need some help.

I have Dreamweaver and I have created a webpage. It's basically an intro page which then links off  to several photo galleries.

The photo galleries themselves have been created and I have the individual pages and link all sorted.

I'm trying to save my dreamweaver page so I can upload it. I thought it needed to be an index.htm file and normally it creates an associated folder with the links etc - is this right? when I try to save it it just says it as a single page.

Does this make sense and can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi Pen,

I usually create a New Site from under the Site menu - this allows you to setup a folder where you can put all your files and folders and goes through ftp setup with you too.

Nothing stopping you doing that retrospectively and then copying either the code or index.html page from wherever you currently have it to the newly created site.

It shouldn't create any additional folder with links.

Have you created these gallerys yourself and are they also on your pc? Or are you simply just linking to external sites someone else has created ie Flickr etc from your home page?

The galleries are mine but created using Shozam. They're fine and up and running.

It's the home page I'm struggling with. I've worked out how to link to the galleries but it's just the saving the dreamweaver page as a complete web page to upload to ftp.

It only lets me save it as a htm file whereas I need it (I think) as an index.htm file.

If you have just one page (index.htm or index.html) then you probably don't need to worry about creating a 'site' unless you want to use Dreamweaver to upload files via FTP etc.

Anyway, you should be able to simply go to the menu File>Save as> and choose the file name and type.

index.html
index.html
default.htm
default.html

Bear in mind that the normal file to use is either index.htm or index.html.
