This workshop will cover the basics of web-page construction, beginning with site management. We will set up a local site, discuss the use of color, insert text, images, tables and hyperlinks and format all of these. Note: Dreamweaver workshop participants are encouraged to secure personal web-space for practice of the skills we will learn in week 2 (this process can take up to 2 weeks). If you don't already have personal space on the USM server, please go to http://www.usm.maine.edu/computing/web/agreement.jsp and scroll down to Web Development Resources: Permissions & Policies.

Please note that the Dreamweaver classes are limited in size to 6 participants because of a limited number of copies of the software. If you sign up for the class, please realize that you are taking a space for which others may be on a waiting list. Two Dreamweaver classes are offered on the same day to allow more participants to receive training. You need to commit to either the morning or the afternoon class.
Dreamweaver classes are intended to be taken as a unit 1,2 and 3. They are designed to include progressive skills with each succeeding class depending on material presented in previous levels. For this reason, preference will be given to those registering for all 3 levels. If space allows, participants of previous workshops may be admitted to the class.
Optimizing Images will not be offered again as a workshop, but you can click here to get the handout which describes the process in 3 programs.
