Although reading a book is a good way to learn the ins and outs of a program, nothing beats sitting in front of the computer and taking a program through its paces. Many of this book’s chapters, therefore, conclude with hands-on training: step-by-step tutorials that take you through the creation of a real, working, professionally designed Web site for the fictional online magazine the National Exasperater.
The rest of this chapter, for example, introduces Dreamweaver by taking you step-by-step through the process of building a Web page. It shouldn’t take more than an hour. When it’s over, you’ll have learned the basic steps of building any Web page: creating and saving a new document, adding and formatting text, inserting graphics, and adding links.
