files, Dreamweaver can automatically detect whether changes are made to image paths, links, and so on and can automatically fix them for you. Of course, we'll get to all that as we progress through the chapter; for now, keep in mind that everything begins with defining a new site. You can begin the process of defining a site by selecting Manage Sites from the Site menu. The Manage Sites dialog appears, similar to Figure 4.3. Figure 4.3. The Manage Sites dialog allows you to create new or edit existing sites.   The Manage Sites dialog includes various buttons, each constituting specific functionality. That functionality is outlined here: New: Selecting this option opens a submenu that allows you to choose from either Site or FTP & RDS Server options. For our examples, we'll use the Site option from this submenu. In Chapter 25, "Working with Dynamic Data," we'll review the FTP & RDS Server option. Edit: Choose this option to edit a site that's already been defined. Selecting this option opens the New Site dialog. Duplicate: Allows you to duplicate a site and its configured settings. This option is useful if you've preconfigured numerous options and want to reuse them on a new site. Remove: Permanently deletes a site from Dreamweaver. It's important to note that choosing this option only removes the reference to files on the computer, not the files themselves. Export: Use this option when migrating sites to another computer with a fresh installation of Dreamweaver. This option creates an .STE file that can be backed up and later imported. Import: Use this option to import backed up sites (.STE files) into the Manage Sites dialog. Help: Choosing this option opens the Dreamweaver Help window with the Manage Sites dialog indexed. Done: Closes the Manage Sites dialog. Now that you have an idea how the Manage Sites dialog works and the functionality it encapsulates, let's actually create a new site. Choose the Site option from the New button's submenu. The Site Definition window appears, similar to Figure 4.4. Figure 4.4. The Site Definition window features a wizard that guides you through the process of defining a new site. [View full size image]   The Site Definition window is split into two tabs: Basic and Advanced options. The next section sheds light on each. The Site Definition Window With the Site Definition window open, notice that the interface is split into two tabs: Basic and Advanced. You can use either tab to define a new site, however, the options provided in each tab are dramatically different. If you're a beginning web developer who doesn't understand the myriad of terms and acronyms, the Basic tab, which guides you through an easy-to-understand wizard, is probably for you. If, however, you're a seasoned veteran who wants fine control over your site management experience, the Advanced tab is the selection you should pick. Don't worry if you're unsure; I'll walk through both options starting with the Basic tab. When the Site Definition window opens for the first time, notice that it defaults to the Basic tab. The Basic tab provides an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand wizard that gently guides you through the site definition process. The first window that appears simply asks you for the site name. By defining a
