Creating additional pages and links

Now that you have saved your homepage, let's look at how hyperlinks are created to link this with other pages in your root folder.

1. Click File-New in Dreamweaver
2. Choose 'Blank Page'
3. For Page Type, choose 'HTML'
4. For Layout, choose 'Blank' or use a preexisting page layout
5. Click 'Create'. This opens a save dialog box.
3. Name the new file 'page1.htm' or 'page1.html'. Click 'OK'.

This will open a new tab in your open Dreamweaver documents view.

4. Click the 'index' document. In the body of the document, type the words 'Page One'
5. Place your curser over this and double-click to select it, or drag your curser over this text.
6. Go to, or open, Dreamweaver's Properties window. In the Link field, enter the name of the file you created for page one, or choose it by clicking the folder icon at the end of the text field and selecting the file.
7. Save your document (File-Save, or press Apple+S on the keyboard).

To set a link back to the homepage from Page1.html,

4. Click the 'page1.htm' or 'page1.html' document. In the body of the document, type the words 'Home'
5. Place your curser over this and double-click to select it, or drag your curser over this text.
6. Go to, or open, Dreamweaver's Properties window. In the Link field, enter the file name for your homepage (index.htm or index.html), or choose it by clicking the folder icon at the end of the text field and selecting the file.
7. Save your document (File-Save, or press Apple+S on the keyboard).
