Dreamweaver Chapter 4

If you were to visit the homepage of my developing Web site, you may have guessed that green is my favorite color. It does not matter what hue it comes, I tend to derive a sense of peace and confidence from it. Who knows, maybe my baby nursery was green and it subliminally conjures happy and sweet memories. But whatever it is, I am glad we are at this point that we can change the background color of our Web page. 

To make the changes to the background colors, I clicked on the individual areas of the index page. For example, the first place that I edited was the area next to where my logo is located. Since I was not sure what class this area was referencing, I clicked on it and looked for the class in the Properties tab located at the bottom on the Dreamweaver page. I discovered that all its formatting rules originated from the class “header.”  I then went to the CSS Styles panel on the upper right hand corner and double clicked on header.  From there I chose “Background” under category field and looked for a new background color from the fly-out swatch that appears when you click on the down arrow. 

I poked around a bit to see which colors would work form me.  I chose #696, which is a green with a slight yellow tint. I made note of the number because I wanted to use the color again somewhere else on the index page. As it turns out I did use the color in the container and the navigation panels; this gave the page a finished and coordinated look.

I also wrote a little “Breaking News” for February 25, 2012.
