The following procedures guide you through the basic steps for creating a Web page, entering and editing text, viewing the page in your web browser, and saving the page. You can follow along the exercises using the sample content we provide or by using your own materials.

The New tool creates files based on the default template stored at \Allaire\HomeSite4\Wizards\HTML\Default Template.htm. You can customize this file to change the content of your default template.

Use the Remote tab of the File Open dialog box to access files on remote servers.
To open files you've used recently, choose File > Recent Files.
In the General page of the Settings dialog box, you can choose to always restore the last open file when you start HomeSite. This feature is particularly useful if you frequently open the same file every time you start HomeSite.
By default, HomeSite always opens to the folder you had open when you last closed HomeSite. But you can change HomeSite's default start up folder in the File Locations pane of the Settings dialog box (F8).
The Edit tool bar offers a command to show all the open files. You can also move from one open file to the first, previous, next, or last open file using the arrows on the Edit tool bar.
To access files on remote servers, you need to configure the server in HomeSite.
