WEB DEVELOPMENT
| Important note for Sophia users: Please use your network username and password to log in to your Sophia account. If you use Contribute to edit a Sophia web site, remember that when you reset your network password, you will also need to edit the password in your Contribute connection. If you use Dreamweaver to edit a Sophia web site, remember that when you reset your network password, you will also need to edit the password in your Dreamweaver site definition. |
Creating a Dreamweaver site definition
If you use Adobe Dreamweaver, we strongly recommend taking a few minutes to set up a Dreamweaver site definition for each of the websites you work on. A site definition stores your Secure FTP connection information, allowing you to upload and download files between your local site and your web server without having to leave Dreamweaver.
