These are some BTT notes from last Thursday:

*Alternate text is what pops if the picture doesn't load properly
*Sometimes it is better to use the "normal view" of Dreamweaver because it is faster
*"Google.ca" is the domain, but the index is the main page
*If you don't have an index, it makes it easier to hack your website
*Save your main page as "index.html"
*There is a small pinwheel in Dreamweaver which allows you to link just by dragging it
*CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and it is a way of making HTML pages
*You can download "pagebreeze" for free which is similar to Dreamweaver (web-authorizing program)
*The bottom part of Dreamweaver is called the Property Inspector
*You can create tables by using percentages of that page
*By using tables, you can be a lot more creative when desingning pages for your website
*You could go down to the Property Inspector and add to or change the properties of basically anything that is selected
*Go to Insert Chart to add tables
*Use a table to create a navigational bar
*Select the text/highlight it and use the linking Pinwehel to drag to your link
*When you select something on it's normal view, it becomes highlighted in the HTML coding view
*You can copy and paste the navigational bar into all of your pages
*This saves a lot of time and your website is much easier to navigate
