Macromedia and Other HTML programs

We were given an assignment to make an advertising website for Woodbine. To do this, we were supposed to use an HTML program call Macromedia that codes html into the real website and vice versa. HTML is a very useful tool just because sometimes not everything that you need to create a web page will be available to you. HTML allows you to do almost anything (only if you know the codes). So, there's a catch to it. However, that's what we're learning to do right now.

Our project is going to be about an advertising webpage about our school. I downloaded Pagebreeze, another HTML coding software. I find it a little bit easier to use than Macromedia Dreamweaver. It is slightly simpler, that's why. Dreamweaver contains many features such as the hyperlink 'grab and drag' tool that let's you drag a line right to the correct file. There are also other things like views you can put your page in like having the code right above you or just having your page alone.

What is another problem with this software is that when you create a brand new folder to start a new website, the folder that you save it in is a bit screwed up. There's a little incorrect symbol in it. You can change that by editing your site. Another thing that people gets trouble with is that they don't put everything they want in the website inside the folder. This makes your computer look in another folder. However, if you try it out in another computer, it wouldn't be able to link it all the way from a folder it can't even find.

Which brings me to another subject. You can't cut and paste an image in a website. What you do is to make a link that tells the website to look in a folder/ file to get that image.
