Define a Site

Define a local site folder

You must define a Dreamweaver local site folder for each new website you create. Dreamweaver needs to know where your site files are to create all the internal links correctly, and to update them when you move files to a different location within your site.
Next, set up the site for this tutorial series and define as your local site folder the check_cs5 folder you copied into your Sites folder:

1. Start Dreamweaver and select Site > New Site. The Site Setup dialog box appears.
2. In the Site Name text box, enter Your Site Name as the name of the site. The name is used internally by Dreamweaver to identify the site. It doesn't matter if it contains spaces.
3. Click the folder icon next to the Local Site Folder text box to browse to and select the check_cs5 folder. The Site Setup dialog box should now look like Figure 1.
