Hi everyone,
I am enrolled into an Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017 online college course.
For my project, I have to create a basic 5-page website. However, I need to create a template and I am stuck!
How do I make a HTML template with CSS?
Thanks! Any help is appreciated!

Hi Ben,
I understand how to do make a blank template. I'm having trouble creating the layout on HTML page and incorporating CSS.
Thx,
Kyle

Please explain, have you already created a .dwt file? Could you show us the code?

I made the code below with the help of this tutorial: Understanding the Internet and websites https://www.lynda.com/Dreamweaver-tutorials/Customizing-Bootstrap/558001/588107-4.html
I followed it step by step and for the most part figured out how to create the HTML layout and template. I did not understand how to create a template out of a blank .dwt.

The code that you have shown is not for a template but for an HTML document.
To make a template from that document, go to File > Save as Template
and you will see a new document that has been created under a new folder called Templates.

I saved the HTML document as a template. Do you know why #36 is red? I'm going to check out the link you posted. Thx!

I went to open this in "real-time preview" and the nav bar doesn't show up??

There is an error shown on line 36 because you neglected to close your lists with </ul> tag.
