Formatting Content On Your Own

Now that you learned to structure your pages through the use of formatting techniques that can help organize and prioritize content, you're ready to apply those skills to your own pages. You'll need to use the research and development work that you created in the On Your Own section of Lesson 1 as the basis for creating the content for your site. After you have the text for your site, you can start incorporating the material into pages that you create in Dreamweaver, as described in the following steps.

1.	Create as many separate HTML pages as needed and import the corresponding content into them. Use the site structure that you developed at the end of Lesson 1 as a guide for determining how many pages need to be created, where they should reside in the file structure, and what content should go on each page.
2.	Apply headings to give structure to each page, and include line breaks, paragraphs, and nonbreaking spaces as needed. Using combinations of paragraphs and different heading levels will help you define the sections of your documents. Incorporating presentational and design elements that you'll learn to use in later lessons will be much easier if you have a clearly defined structure in each of your documents.
3.	Incorporate quotes, lists, special characters, inline character formatting, and multilingual elements where needed, as covered throughout the lesson.

You can save these pages inside your local root folder as placeholders for future content.
