3. In the Basic tab of the Site Definition dialog box, Dreamweaver poses the
question, “What would you like to name your site?” Type Yoga Sangha in the Site
name text field and then click Next.
Yo ga Sangha is the name of the project site you are creating. When you create your own
sites, the names that you assign should let you easily identify them. Clear and specific site
names allow you to immediately distinguish sites by name, making it easier to manage
multiple sites. Like the local root folder, the site name is for your reference only in
Dreamweaver’s list of defined sites and is not visible to users of your site.
You should leave the HTTP Address text field on this screen blank. The HTTP Address—
the URL of the online site—is used to define site-root relative links, which are covered in
Lesson 3. This item is optional and not necessary for the exercises in this book.
This section of the Basic site setup corresponds to the Site name text field
of the Local Info category in the Advanced view. Throughout the course of defining
your site, you can switch back and forth between the Basic and Advanced views if
you want to see how the Advanced view appears. You’ll work with the Advanced
view in Lesson 14.
4. Dreamweaver asks, “Do you want to work with a server technology such as
ColdFusion, ASP.NET, ASP, JSP, or PHP?” Click the radio button for the option “No,
I do not want to use a server technology.” Click Next to advance to the next section.
At this time you are not creating pages that will incorporate databases or other server
technologies, so you should select the No option. You can always add this functionality
at a later point—any time you need to make changes to your site setup, you can choose
Site > Manage Sites, select your site in the list, and click the Edit button.
