Creating my Local Site in Adobe Dreamweaver

Diary Entry No: 5 (Original Date 4th April, 2011)


Today, I imported all of my images in to Adobe Dreamweaver which I would use as backgrounds for each page of the "Homes 4 Hounds" website. I did this by changing the background using the "Page Properties" tab on the bottom toolbar in Dreamweaver. 


Before I could start adding content, I named and saved each of the pages as a HTML page in a local folder, so that I could create a local site in Dreamweaver, making it easier to access the files I need for my website when creating each page. As I saved each document, they were each created as HTML pages; " Hypertext Mark-Up Language (HTML) is a universal and networked application of hyperlinking. HTML is now the simplest way of adding human-readable data onto the web, which was developed to allow unidirectional links to be made between documents" (Dewdney, A. Ride, A (2006, P.208). This meant that even though they were unfinished, each of the documents I had created had now become functioning web-pages.


However, I still needed to add media to the pages, such as text and links in order to combine all of these pages to create a website.
