About Dreamweaver Sites
In Dreamweaver, a site is a collection of pages and other files that make up your web site. Defining your site tells Dreamweaver:
- Where to store files while you're editing them (locally)
- Where to upload files so they can be viewed on the web (remotely)
Before you define your site, you should have already requested access to your web site(s) from Weinberg Web Communications. If you have not please e-mail web@wcas.northwestern.edu or visit the Contact Us page.
Adobe Contribute Tips
#1: To create a line break without a line space, hold the shift key as you tap the "Enter" key.
#2: Need to indent a single line, or one or more paragraphs, of text? Use the indent button (see image) NOT the space bar. Why? Because using the spacebar will result in a string of non-breaking spaces that could size differently on different browsers, resulting in a ragged left margin, or create awkward and unnatural sentence wrapping.
Detailed information about using Contribute is also available on this site.
