| Here's where we make our first, or any other, Golive website.
If you already have a site, made for instance in Pagemill, please see here for how to convert it. Personal view - ignore what the books say - do not start out in Golive by making a page and learning how to add stuff to it. Start by making a site. I suggest a practice site, not the real one you may be itching to show the world, but one where you can make all the mistakes you want. Up to you though, you might want to start right in. The reason you should never work on individual pages in isolation is because Golive creates a vital file called a site file - this is a complex database that tracks all your links and manages your site for you. You should make a site, and then always open the site file first, not an individual page. You will work within the site window, and everything should be done in there if you don't want to create the kind of chaos that has people worrying in the forums all the time about why their site isn't working properly. |

 You'll no doubt have more than one website eventually and you need somewhere to keep them. If you haven't got a suitable folder already, make one like this:
(Even if you only ever plan to make one site, it has to live somewhere on your computer). |

 Now start up Golive, and you will see this:
Click 'New Site'. |

 After selecting 'Single User Site' and 'Next', you will see this:
Choose 'Blank Site' and click 'Next'. |
