Creating a Template
- Open (in Dreamweaver) a second level page from your
final
site
- Format the page content using a table (Design your table
on paper first, if needed)
- Add images, background color, text, links, rollovers (everything
that will not vary from page to page.)
- Save as Template (File>Save as Template) into
final
folder
- Mark editable regions (Modify>Templates>Mark Region
as Editable)
- Name the editable regions
- Apply template to all appropriate pages in site by opening
the target page and Modify>Templates>Apply Templates to
Page (then select the template).
- Include any content, already on the page,to the appropriate
region of your template when prompted by Dreamweaver
Add the variable content to each page's editable regions
Change the template for global (site-wide) changes
