Web Masters! Help!

[*maria*]

I need to take my website and put it into dreamweaver. Even with the dummies book, I'm lost.
(I'm not technical - hence my use of front page 2000 for my website)
I am looking for a dancer who is a website master to take my website and get it loaded (or whatever the term is) into dreamweaver for me. See my website below.

Please PM me! I need to do this and just don't know how.

You have all the files on your computer? You should just be able to open dreamweaver and open the files from there. There's a procedure you do when first creating a site in dreamweaver which defines the site and helps dreamweaver put together site links, etc., but it's really simple...

Unfortunately I deleted my dreamweaver recently because it was an old copy and I downloaded some fancier software from my web host, or I'd be better able to try to walk you through it.

quick & dirty: [sorry not at comp. w/ dw]
this assumes recent version of dw + static site + relative urls [no time to look @ the site. sorry]:
0. back up everything!
1. put all site files in a folder. ex. my_site
2. put all site images in a folder called images, inside my_site
3. open dw
4. from top menu: site -> new site -> advanced
5. document root folder = my_site click on folder icon to browse to it
6. image root folder = images inside my_site click on folder icon to browse to it. then "ok" or what ever the accept button is
7. refresh site management/tree structure window/panel by clicking on blue arrow-w/-circular-tail icon
8. at some point dw will ask you if you want to update your file paths [or something to that effect] say yes
9. rewrite all file paths to correct broken links, img paths, etc.
10. refresh again

this should work. it is just from memory,not looking @ dw.
hope this helps. feel free to pm me if you need more help

thanks everyone! I am so bad at computers it's laughable. seriously.
my husband would do it for me, but he is so extremely busy right now he doesn't even have time to sleep!
I'll give it a try next week. I've been crazy busy myself.
I've got to get out of Front Page.

sabrina, I am going to do what you outlined above step by step.
I'd NEVER figure that out on my own! I should take a course, but I seriously don't have any extra time at all.
I'm really pathetic....at computers.....
oh well, we all can't be good at everything! ; )
