Final preparations for takeoff: page properties

Many hand-coders, when starting a new HTML page, begin by typing the following code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>my page</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000"LINK="#FF3300" VLINK="#333399" ALINK="#000000">
While typing this essential information, a coder might think about what had to go on the rest of the page.

If you are coming to Dreamweaver from hand-coding, you might want to substitute this new ritual for every page you create.

To set the page properties:

1 Choose Modify > Page Properties.
2 In the Page Properties dialog box, type in a title for the page.
3 Select colors for the page background, text, links, visited links, and active links.
4 Click OK.
What you've just done is set up your environment: you've prepared yourself—and the page—for the creative part of your work. You've also made the lives of visitors who would bookmark your page a little easier by not giving them yet another Untitled page.
