Saving Your File

You should save your documents in Dreamweaver as soon as you open a new document. Don't wait until you have text or graphics on the page. This way, when you do import graphics of other media, all references will be created properly.

Naming an HTML File

Naming your files for use on a Web server is a little different from naming your files for your hard drive. We suggest you always name each file with these specifications:

1. Don't use spaces within your file names.
   
2. Use letters and numbers, but no special characters, such as %,* or ?
   
3. Since some Web page servers run on UNIX, it is recommended you use lower-case letter for your file names
4. Avoid beginning your file name with a number
   
5. Don't leave a space at the end of the file name
   
6. Keep names short
7. These rules apply for folder names as well
