Dreamweaver
Appears differently on versions.

Begin with html. Has templates, which we can make use of for this first assessment. These template create the whole layout, links, leaves room for logo, places for content and headers/text.

Split view enables you to see the code and the preview pane at the same time, and highlights the created portion when code is highlighted.

Links- link from one file to another. The visible link does not distinguish where the click goes to, the link field down the bottom does. All the link does is tells the computer to go from one file (page) to another. To create the pages to link to, go file save as, and the new page will appear up the top in a new tab

Name pages one, two three, four, five

Don’t write text directly onto page, write into word, edit, spell/grammar check etc and then transfer.

Any word/phrase can be a link.

Table sets- design layout from scratch by making one big table set and merging squares.

OR

Make three tables, one for a navigation panel, one for the banner and one for the general content

Images

All images have to be mine; aka taken or created, although parts of images can be edited on top of your own. Can be taken with phones, but resolution is usually too large- need to be resized

You don’t want to use images from the web because they are usually copyrighted.

Wikimedia commons – free use images, sound and other media files. Aim to use low resolution images. When saving images, make sure to save images in the same folder as the html files.

When you file insert image, the code will be img src=…   Html just holds the image.

If the image isn’t saved in the html folder, the code changes. Identifying the destination of the image is what the code says. If the image is moved, it needs to be re inserted.

Images come with code imbedded inside them that usually refer back to a server, so that the image owner can track the image use. The only ways to avoid this are to scrap the image right back or take your own image.

Image services – companies that sell images. Fanpop.Take pictures of socks in all different circumstances, scenarios, doing different things,

IDEA: a page for a crusty old sock
PAGES: profile, recommended Laundromats, soaking recipes, XXX sox, notice board-jobs/personals/sale
