Creating a new page

You can choose File > New Page to create a new Web page that is not related to your site until you save it. When the site window is open, you can use a variety of methods to create a new page that is automatically a part of your site.

When you create a new page, GoLive creates an untitled.html file and displays it in the Layout Editor of the document window by default. After creating the Web page, it's important to change the title of the page. The page title appears in the title bar of the Web browser when the page is viewed. It's also used by Internet search engines to index the page. (See Changing the page title.)

You can set a GoLive preference to automatically create a new page when the application is started and display it in the editor or preview mode of your choice. (See Setting preferences for opening pages.)

To create a new page as part of a site:

Do one of the following:

• Select the Files tab or Extras tab in the site window and if desired, select a folder listed in the tab. Then choose Site > New > Page. The new page is added to the bottom of the list in the tab or in the folder you selected. You can also select a page in the Files tab in the site window and choose Edit > Duplicate to create a copy of the existing page.
• With the site window open, choose File > New Page, and then choose File > Save As. In the Save As dialog box, name the page, choose Root Folder from the Site Folder menu, and click OK. The new page is added to the contents of the site's root folder, which appears in the Files tab of the site window.

Note: The site window must be open but not necessarily selected before the Site Folder menu will appear in the Save As dialog box.

• Drag a generic page icon from the Site set in the Objects palette into the Files tab or Extras tab of the site window or next to another page in navigation view.
