Chapter 2. Adding Text to Your Web Pages
Nowadays, streaming video, audio, and high-quality graphics are what draw most people to websites. After all, it’s exciting to hear the latest song from your favorite band, see a preview of a yet-to-be released blockbuster, or tune in to YouTube to see the kid down the street embarrass himself in front of a billion Web viewers.
But the fact is, the Web is primarily woven with words. iPad reviews, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie gossip, and countless personal blogs about cats still drive people to the Web. As you build web pages and websites, you’ll spend a lot of your time adding and formatting text. To get your message across effectively, you need to understand how Dreamweaver works with text.
This chapter covers the not-always-simple act of getting text into your Dreamweaver documents. In Chapter 3, you’ll read about formatting this text so that it looks professionally designed.
