1. Keep all of your web pages and web documents in one folder. This is your ‘root folder’. All websites have a root folder. On the server (host) it looks like public_html. In your computer and project folders, it may look like ‘author_site’ or ‘portfolio_site’ but it serves the same purpose.

IMPORTANT: All other work, such as .psds, .ai, .docx etc should be kept in a separate folder OUTSIDE of your root folder. You can keep your root folder INSIDE another project folder, but your root folder should hold only documents to upload to the web.

2. Always work on the desk top when using the Mac Lab computers at SUNY Ulster.

3. Do not work off of your Flash drive OR User folder. This will cause bad links to happen.

4. Once finished, then back-up your files. I suggest back up to both your User folder and a Flash drive to avoid mishaps.

5. Do NOT take out images from your image folder once you’ve added them to web pages. Dreamweaver is linking to a destination folder (images). If there is no image there, but the HTML code says it’s lined there, you will have a broken image link.
