developers of your site. For example, you can name a key designer (in the Name field) and define the value as the name of that person or the priority


of the project (in the Value field). You also may define a field for a client or type of file that you commonly use. 6. Click the plus (+) button to add a new information item; click the minus (-) button to remove a selected item. 7. Click OK to save the notes. The notes you entered are saved to a subfolder named notes in the same location as the current file. The filename is the documents filename, plus the extension .mno. For example, if the filename is art.htm, the associated Design Notes file is named art.htm.mno. Design Notes are indicated in Site View by a small yellow icon that looks like a cartoon bubble. Figure 4-18: Design Notes make it easy to add messages for other members of your design team to documents, images, and even entire folders. Chapter 4: Coordinating Your Design Work 117 Activating Site Map Layout If you have trouble keeping track of all the files in your Web site and how they link to one another, youre not alone. As Web sites get larger and larger, this task becomes increasingly daunting. Thats why Dreamweaver includes a Site Map Layout feature - to help you keep track of the structure and hierarchy of your site. This is not a Site Map like those you often see on Web sites that links to the main pages of a site. The Dreamweaver Site Map Layout is never visible to your visitors; its a site-management feature designed to help you visually manage the files and folders in your site. To create a site map from the Site Map Layout page, follow these steps: 1. Choose Site?Manage Sites. The Manage Sites dialog box opens. 2. Select the name of the site you want to work on. 3. Click the Edit button. The Site Definition box opens. 4. Make sure the Advanced tab at the top of the Site Definition dialog box is selected and the Advanced options are visible. 5. Select the Site Map Layout option from the Category list at the left of the Site Definition dialog box. The Site Map Layout options display in the right side of the Site Definition dialog box, as shown in Figure 4-19. 6. Click the Browse button (the icon that resembles a file folder) next to the Home Page text box and browse to find the main folder of your Web site. Note, if you already filled out the Local Info page for your site, this field is already filled in. This text box specifies the location of the home page of the Web site and the main site folder. This information is essential because it shows Dreamweaver where the Web site begins and ends. 7. Specify the number of columns you want to display per row in the site map. If youre not sure what you want for these settings, start with the default value of 200. You can always come back and change these settings later
