I just make a site for the first time using dreamweaver. I got hosting from dream host, but now i am lost, I know I got to up load my file to my sever using FTP, I can get into FTP account and all that, i just dont't know how and where i put my file, I have renamed the file index, becuase i was told to do that. i have uploaded the html file but still noting show up when i go to the domian for the website. can someone tell me what i need to do.
thanks nicangeli, I got it to work, wow im so pumped my first site. I got another question, when I go to my site, in the tap at the top of internet exploer it says "untittled document" how do i change that to the name of my website? and can i add a cool icon in front of that? like you see on most websites now like the dp for this forum. I read somewhere its a GIF file or something?
To change the title of the webpage to anything you like, go onto Dreamweaver, open the page you want to edit, and you see the buttons called "Code" "Spilt" "Design", next to them, there will be a place where you can type in the title of your page, eg: bossballa's website
And that little icon is called a favicon. Here is a site which will help you to generate a favicon: http://www.favicon.cc/
i was able to change the title thanks electro-host, but with the favicon i wasnt able to get it to work, i made it on the website and followed their instructions how to get it on there, but it dont show up.
Did you use, <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> If so, and it still doesn't show clear your cache.
no i never did that, i just saved the favicon file in the directory, where do i put this code <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> and what parts do i need to replace, and what do I replace?
bossballa-- Did you know that you can learn a lot of tricks by finding a site you like that works and viewing the source of the page? The neat thing about the internet? HTML and Javascript are opensource meaning anyone can learn new tricks quickly. Q...
I rather use 1and1.com for more easier upload it's so unrealiable host,, there are so many problem with dreamhost many webmaster i know of had dropped dreamhost I really recommend you switch to 1and1 if you have mainstream websites because 1and1 don't accept adult sites if you have adult sites look at my sig by the way, dreamweaver uploading is so easy and simple you will get use to it
I'm not really sure what the whole host of off topic posts are for, but anyway place the code that I gave you inside the <head> and </head> tags, like so. <html> <head> <title> Site Name </title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> </head> <body> <!-- Your Site --> </body> </html> Code (markup): N.B. Make sure that you change http://example.com/favicon.ico to the path to the favicon, such as, http://www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico Good luck, Here is the wikipedia article. Nick
