| Chapter 6, "Setting Up Sites, Pages, and Templates," discussed the key issues surrounding the design of a Dreamweaver MX 2004 site. Here, we talk about how you can use Dreamweaver to help manage your site after you've designed it. The old adage that "nothing manages itself" is particularly true of Web sites, which require ongoing care and feeding as you update and enhance them. Another, more academic epithet we remember from engineering school is that "everything tends towards chaos," and that has a certain relevance to Web sites, too! Thankfully, Dreamweaver offers some helpful tools to help you keep your sites from devolving into the horror of randomness and confusion. The key topics include compatibility testing, uploading files to a remote server, collaborating with other developers, running site reports , and maintaining the integrity of your site's links. |
