Chapter ONE. Getting Started

Adobe's new Creative Suite 2 Premium (Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, GoLive CS2, and Acrobat 7.0 Professional) has significantly changed the industry in terms of graphic-design software. Now designers are able to purchase all the software they might need for print, Web, and PDF publishing in one box. Although there are hundreds of thousands of GoLive users around the world, many new users are being introduced to the GoLive for the very first time through the Creative Suite. GoLive is an incredibly powerful and fun Web authoring application. GoLive on its own is pretty impressive, but combining it with the rest of the Creative Suite is truly sweet!

In this second edition of the book, we've done our very best to write something that will teach beginners the basics and show seasoned users some special tips. We'll even wow the most experienced users with power tips that will save them time and enable them to be more creative as they build sites with GoLive.

This first chapter introduces the interface, shows you how to optimize GoLive for optimum performance and productivity, and even teaches the pros a few cool tips. Let's get started!
