Configuring Dreamweaver for your website

First, create a folder on your zip called "web". Make sure the zip is in the drive before you open the dreamweaver application. (Note: if on your personal computer, you can create the folder on your hard drive.)
Open your DreamWeaver application. On menubar, select "Site/New Site...

...fill in a site name - it can be anything - and click on the folder...

PC - direct the application to your "web" folder open it and click "Select"
Mac* - direct the application to your "web" folder select (don't open it) and click "Choose"
(* These Graphics are PC)

Under "Category", select sub-heading "Remote Info". From the "Access" box, choose "FTP"...

Here is the ftp information you must include - (insert your own domain name & ftp password.)
Warning: only save the password if you are at home. If you leave it on a public computer, Joe Public can access and edit your site!
...Click "OK"

Hit the "F8" key and the Site box will appear. Click the Remote Host button, type in password (If necessary.)

If all goes well, your web files should appear in the left window (See below). If they do not, carefully review your input. Over half the problems I encounter are caused by faulty input.
Congratulations! You are now ready to begin editing your site using DreamWeaver. For further instruction, use the "Help" on the top of the menu. It's quite extensive.
