Exercise: Create the File Structure

  1. with your newly defined site opened in Dreamweaver:
  2. right-click in the folder titled "Site - mat153...", then select New File (New folder if you want to create a folder) from the pop-up menu.
  3. title the file index.html
  1. using your site diagram as a guide, repeat step 2 for the remaining files in your site.
  2. FOR EXAMPLE: create a file for about.html, gallery.html, contact.html, directions.html
  1. Now, select the files that you want to upload to the server (use the shift key to select consecutive files, use the command/CRTL key to select non-consecutive files)
  2. click the blue arrow, this will upload your files to the server
  3. you will get a message asking if you want to include dependent files, it is a good idea to say NO to this.
  4. Open up a web browser and paste in your Full URL from the SoMA server, it should look something like this:

    http://soma.sbcc.edu/magallegos/mat153 (THIS IS THE PATH TO MY FILES, MAKE SURE TO USE YOUR OWN URL)

  5. your index page will open by default and then you will need to type in the names of the other files in the browser like this:

    http://soma.sbcc.edu/magallegos/about.html
    http://soma.sbcc.edu/magallegos/gallery.html
    http://soma.sbcc.edu/magallegos/contact.html
    http://soma.sbcc.edu/magallegos/accomodations.html
