The Assignment

1. Follow all of the above instructions, and ask questions when needed, so that:

• Dreamweaver successfully connects to the Web server when the test button is pressed.

2. Organize your Sites folder, so that:

• The home page is titled "default.html"
• Assignments.html includes links to all your other pages.
• The Sites folder contains all the other assignments.
• Each web page (assignment) has a link back to your Assignments page.

3. Create a new page using Dreamweaver called Log.html, so that:

• Log.html is formatted with a Definition List to record work done, time spent, and answers to questions asked on days we fill out the log.
• Log.html has an entry for the day it was created (Jim will explain what this entry should contain).
• Log.html has a link back to assignments.html.
