After designing your first home page, you will want to link it to other secondary and tertiary pages for the user to access. You may also want to provide the user with links outside your page and to other files and pictures. Dreamweaver allows you to link any object, including text and pictures (although pictures should contain text making it obvious that it is a link) to another Web page. To link text or a picture, simply highlight the text or object and open the properties window (Window > Properties).





You have three options for creating the link. You can manually type in the link in the empty box and press Enter. Alternatively, you can use the target arrow or file icon next to the empty box to locate the Web page or item you wish to link to. To verify that the link is working, you may wish to preview the home page and click on the link to see if it brings you where you wish to go. See the "previewing your Web page" section to do so.
