Hey all, so cool to find this site. My first time here. basically I had my website built in some kind of code by a past friend but now cannot manage. I am a hands on learner so reading and tutorials is not the best for me. I plan to slowly learn dream weaver as time goes on. Like many, I need to learn to build and support my own site.

My first question. I have been told that I might be able to somehow import my website from my host (PHP) into Dream weaver, and most of it might be pretty well organised and just need a little repair. I still dont understand the linking to websites so I am a little confused. I am an infant in website understandng so far.

Can anyone give me some very basic steps to dragging my site into Dreamweaver to get me a start with rebuilding? if looking at my website helps: www.burrowsphoto.com

Thanks again and i look forward to talking to all.
Michael

You will most probably need to connect to the site via FTP(use an FTP client like SmartFTP), then its a matter of copying the site from the web host to your local PC so you can work on the idividual files. Once you are happy with the corrections just re-upload them using the FTP software.
things you will need;
FTP software (www.smartftp.com)
username of account
Password of account
FTP server address (ie. ftp.yourdoamin.com)

If you want to display your PHP files on your PC, i use a MySQL, PHP, APACHE combination software called foxserv, its one of many, but in a nutshell it gives you a web, database server on your PC.

Its heaps of fun learning this code, find yourself a good dreamweaver book or even the help files and start reading.

All the best
