Mastering your Web Authoring Software
You have basically been "thrown into the pool" regarding learning your software. At this point I hope you have been able to use the HTML you learned earlier in the class, especially in the context of Dreamweaver. There are a number of resources to further your knowledge, but you really should take advantage of:
Another good resource to bookmark is A List Apart. These articles may be a bit advanced right now, but you will find them invaluable as your skills improve. Written by professionals for serious web authors.
return to topExport CSS from template
You've started your template with internal styles. Now they need to be moved out of the head of the document and placed in an external sheet. Dreamweaver makes this fairly easy:
- In the CSS Styles panel, select all the styles in the <style> tag group
- Right click on the selection and select Move CSS rules...
- Choose A new style sheet...
- Here you name it (do not forget the .css extension) and save it to the correct folder
Dreamweaver will then create the new links to the created style sheet and update all the pages that use that template. The only thing left to do is delete the empty <style> tag.
