To get the best experience with this template, you need to set up your site correctly. The place where you store the local copy of your files should be structured in the same way as the server.

Assuming you are starting from scratch on a Windows computer and you store your local files on your C: drive...

• Create a folder in My Documents that will represent your server eg: my-web-files.
• Use Dreamweaver to define that folder as the Local root folder, so the path will end up something like
  C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\my-web-files\
• Your template-assets folder goes inside my-web-files
• Your Templates folder goes inside my-web-files

If your site is the root site on the server (eg: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/)

• Your template-assets-custom folder also goes inside my-web-files
• Your site’s home page and all other files go inside my-web-files

If your site is in a subfolder on the server (eg: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/mysite/)

• Create folders inside my-web-files of the same name as those on the server, (eg: my-web-files/mysite).
• Your template-assets-custom folder will go in there, (eg: my-web-files/mysite/template-assets-custom).
• Your site’s home page and all other files also go inside my-web-files/mysite

Obviously, mac users will not have a My Documents folder, but everything else is the same.

There is a slight risk that a maintainer using an incorrectly set up Dreamweaver site may access files at the wrong location on a server, but correctly set server permissions should ensure that such users do not have write access to the wrong parts of a server.
