Troubleshooting


How can I make sure my site files are always up to date?

To ensure that all files are automatically refreshed, be certain to select the Auto Refresh feature. This is a helpful feature because it updates new files as you add them to the site.

I'm not really sure what the title of my page should be. Is it really necessary?

If you leave title information out of your page, the title publishes as Dreamweaver's default Untitled Document. This gives your page visitors absolutely no help when trying to orient themselves to the page, figure out its purpose, and/or bookmark the page for further reference. Plus, the title element is required in HTML 4.0 and 4.01, as well as in XHTML 1.0 and 1.1. Using a clear title is an important part of setting page properties, so be careful not to overlook it!

Are there any hard and fast rules for what color links should be? I'd like to make them match my site, but someone said that they have to be a certain color.

Many usability punditsincluding Jakob Nielssenhave expressed that the use of colored links other than browser defaults cause usability problems with navigation. Although this might be true for people who are very new to using the web (and nowadays, newcomers see so many different link colors, the point is almost moot), it's highly unlikely that any experienced user will fail to recognize a link. Unless you are expressly asked by a client or superior to follow defaults, you should feel free to color links as you see fit.
