The path to the local root folder, DW8_YogaSangha, is now displayed in the text ﬁeld and

its location is shown in relation to your hard disk.

In this case, however, you need to choose the DW8_YogaSangha folder that already exists

(and contains the many ﬁles that you need to work with in this book’s lessons) as your

local root folder.

When you create your own sites, if you do not already have a folder, you might ﬁnd it

useful to allow Dreamweaver to automatically create one for you based on the name you

chose for your site.

Understanding the Advanced

Site Definition Options

This section of the Basic site setup

—

in which you are specifying the local root folder

—

corresponds to the Local root folder text field of the Local Info category in the

Advanced view. The Advanced site definition options also allow you to select Refresh

Local File List automatically, Enable Cache, specify a Default Images folder, and define

the HTTP Address for the site.

The Refresh Local File List option is checked by default, causing Dreamweaver to

update the site list whenever you add a new file to the site folder. If you uncheck this

option, you need to refresh the local files manually whenever you make changes such as

adding or deleting files.

The Enable Cache option is checked by default. Enabling the cache allocates memory

to store frequently used site data, improving the speed of linking and site-management

tasks. The site cache stores information in your computer’s RAM memory making

access to features that use the cache quicker. When this option is active, Dreamweaver

will continuously update the information stored in the cache as you work. Although it is

usually best to leave the cache option on, keep in mind that re-creating the cache can

slow operations on extremely large sites.

The Default Images folder allows you to specify the location of images in your site and

can reduce the amount of time that it takes to browse for images when inserting them.

The use of images is covered in Lesson 5.

The HTTP address, another optional feature, is used to define the URL of your Website.

This address is used to verify absolute links. More information on links is covered in

Lesson 3.
