Help with Setting Up Local Site Folder

Question

Novice Builder Just Starting.Trying to follow the Bayside tutorial and I can't find the Local Site Folder fields toward the begining. When I first brought up the application, it was there as I tried to build my first site. I deleted the software and reinstalled and its no where to be found. Any help so appreciatied. Mark

From Mac Finder or Win File Explorer, create a new folder on your primary hard drive called MyTestSite.

Then browse to the folder from DW by going to Site > New Site > click the folder icon (see screenshot.)

No offense intended to either you or the author, David Powers, but that Bayside Beat tutorial was written for DW 2015, not 2021. The interface has changed so much since then, I fear that tutorial won't make much sense to you. 😉

If you know how to code, DW is not hard to learn. But if you don't know how to code, the learning curve is much, much steeper.

Start with these code tutorials.

Invest in the latest edition from the DW Classroom in Book series available from Amazon in Kindle or Paperback format.
