- Create a folder on the desktop (or any other place on your computer you will remember) - you will save your pages here until they are ready to post on-line.
- From the main toolbar choose: Site > Manage sites

This often prevents costly mistakes, such as accidentally deleting a page or replacing a finished page with a work in progress.
Next, you will tell Dreamweaver how to connect to your iSchool server space:
