Homework
Please do the following -

Live Page

By Friday evening please make sure you have put your index.html page live with your completed text outlining, in as much details as you can, all the important aspects of your proposed site, and including at least five absolute links to websites that relate to your subject. [See below for a repeat of the previously hurried (oops) class instructions on putting your page live.]

First Analysis

Finish your first blog text ready for Monday.

Content List

Finally, complete the first draft of your contents list where you must list all the possible things you might put on your final site. We will be using the content information to make a second page in our current planning site soon.

Putting Pages Live
The following steps will have your page live on the web before you can say hypertexttransferprotocol -

1. First of all, make sure you are happy with your index.html page and its content and save it [Apple-S]


2. Then go to Manage Sites from the Site menu or the other places where you can see the words 'Manage Sites'


3. Click Edit in the Manage Sites dialog box.


4. With the Advanced tab selected, click on Remote Info in the Category column on the left


5. In the Remote Info panel enter the details as laid out in the screen grab below [click to enlarge]. There is a new folder for each of you on the webonegallery server called yournametraining.
   
   


6. When you have entered the information click Test and Dreamweaver should connect to the server. If it doesn't connect successfully, check the information you have entered and try the test again.


7. Click OK when you are done here and then click Done in the Manage Sites box.


8. Back in the Files Panel click on the Connect To Host button as shown in the grab below.
   

   



9. If Dreamweaver connects successfully you can now see your remote, named training folder on the left of the FIles panel and your local files on the right.


10. Drag the Local index.html file over the Remote folder to copy your page to the server.


11. In your browser, type in the URL - www.webonegallery.co.uk/web1_win10/yournametraining - and the page should appear. If your page doesn't appear or there are problems with the links, check and fix anything that doesn't work and drag the local page to the remote folder again to replace the existing remote index page.

NOTE: Always work from the local files to make changes and disconnect from the remote server when you are done by clicking the Connect To Host button again.

Congrats! You are now a web page publisher.
