last week we learned coding and how to create a home page (frame work of the home page)
This week:
How to make a template
How to make multiple pages: just add it into the template and automatically updates the website - easy to maintain.

There is going to be different content on each page
Root folder always goes into user work.
So search engines can find your site:
Home page title e.g. Apple - different tabs on each page. Welcome to the apple store US
Doc title - Editable region
Name = head - to add more information
File and new to open new html template
Copy editorial for the title and paste into new template which would look like this:
At the moment instead of the codes being in green, it is in grey as the HTML cannot understand what the site is saying until the finish when you can save it as a template. Need editorial region in body.
Template - .dwt - Dreamweaver template.
Tags in head - the next step of editorial is the start editable region -
'templatebegineditable...name-head'
Broken link icon - the image is not in the root folder next to the sub folder 'Images'
Editable - insert - template objects - editable region
Name of region should have purpose of use e.g. Content
File and new. page from template (middle left) list of all sites created - open portfolio.
when the file is opened/ created, write in content what page things are, save as (all broken links appear) and so on. This is how the template works.
Buttons, bottom left 'link' point the blue arrow over to the left hand side to the appropriate page.
* in the tab means it is not saved. File and save all. Open in safari and check that the links work.
All that is left to do is to add the appropriate content.

To end editable region
