Saving Files correctly is VERY important!!
I appreciate that being told how to save a file correctly may sound about as exciting as a trip to the mail box - but please believe me when I tell you as soon as you start to do this correctly - you are going to save yourself HOURS of frustration and stress.
I am currently working 1-2-1 with many people teaching web design for beginners - and the biggest problem I am coming up against is a matter of simple housekeeping.
Many cannot find something they have created - or are unsure as to the whereabouts of something that is ‘somewhere’ on their computer .

You need to start getting into the habit of saving your files correctly.
There are TWO important reasons for this:
- Files and images that are saved incorrectly may not appear on your web page (we’ve all seen web pages with ‘missing’ bits)
- Correctly saved files are easy to locate on your computer,
I am now going to reveal the one and only GOLDEN rule.
ALL THE CONTENTS OF YOUR WEBPAGE MUST BE SAVED IN THE SAME LOCATION |
Repeat that with me. ALL THE CONTENTS OF YOUR WEBPAGE MUST BE SAVED IN THE SAME LOCATION.
And this habit is very easy to implement.
Creating a Project Folder
From now on - whenever you create a webpage - I want you to get into the habit of saving all the contents that you will need for that page – in the same location.
The location is known as a PROJECT FOLDER.
You will create a NEW project folder for every website you create. And the contents for this website - ie your images and your files - will ALL be saved in this one PROJECT FOLDER.
Simple enough huh?
In my eBook Create Your First Website By 3.45 This Afternoon I have devoted a whole section to SAVING YOUR FILES CORRECTLY (it’s part 7 on page 42) If you haven’t yet downloaded your free copy of this book you can by clicking here.
