Setting up a new document and site

Okay, In this tutorial we will be creating a new document + Site.
Simpleeeee :]]

Oh and first off, I use Dreamweaver 8.0

Okay, Once Dreamweaver has loaded go to File >> New.
Click on Basic Page, in the category section and HTML in the Basic Page section.
Your screen should now look like something like this, if it isn't already, change it to Design View.
How? Click the circled.

Right, Now go to Site >> New Site.
A little pop up comes up asking for your site name and the http address, you know what to do now :)
After that, click next.
Now, you should get asked if you want to work with server technology, I am not going to work with server technology. Click next.
Okay now, It should be asking you where to save your files, this is fairly important, So I'm going to create a new file.
If you click next you get asked how you connect to your remote server, Mine is Local/Netowrk. Then it asks "What folder on your server do you want to store your files in"
Locate the new file you jut created, and select there.
Click next, You get asked about checking out files, I've ticked yes, enable check in and check out. But you can decide on that :]]
Click next, then finished :]]

Your new site should then be fully created for you to start coding shizz.
