One other thing to consider is creating an Adobe Portfolio site (it's free with your Creative Cloud plan). Adobe Portfolio | Build your own personalized website Portfolio ties in seamlessly with collections/galleries that are synched on Lighroom Mobile. Lightroom CC Integration – Adobe Portfolio Knowledgebase & FAQ Portfolio is great for people who don't like working with code. Nancy

You read the wrong tutorial. Setting up a local testing server literally takes 5 mins. You download free Wamp or Xampp or Mamp for your OS & install it. WAMP for Windows - http://www.wampserver.com/en/ XAMPP for Windows - http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html XAMPP for Mac - http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html MAMP for Mac - http://www.mamp.info/en/downloads/index.html 2.

What does your Windows Event Viewer say is the faulting module? If you see any reference to Lavasoft, (LavasoftTcpService64.dll or similar) that's the culprit. Lavasoft Web Companion (Ad-Aware) plugin is a known conflict with many Adobe products -- Photoshop, After Effects, Dreamweaver... Uninstalling LavaSoft and all related .DLL files fixes the problem. Photoshop crashes with Lavasoft Chrome extension installed To help you find the offending files on your system, turn on File Name Extensions and Hidden Items in your File Explorer. Nancy

The xampp path is only on your local computer. It does not impact performance on your remote server. Does your hosting plan support PHP includes? The great thing about server side code is you can't see it in a browser. It's completely hidden from view source. Copy & paste this code into a new blank document and name it PHPTest.php. Upload to your remote server's TEST folder and see if it works on the host's server. <!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Quia numquam iusto rem dolor voluptatibus repudiandae veritatis fugit nobis excepturi illo voluptatum, est ratione ex impedit sint laborum esse quo ipsum.</p> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Porro, placeat doloribus vel id cupiditate maiores temporibus saepe, praesentium repellendus aspernatur nihil</p> <!--insert php footer include--> <?php include('animusicFooter.html'); ?> </body> </html>

I don't use Lightroom galleries on Web pages. I've always found better and more practical approaches than allowing a graphics app to generate HTML pages for me. One method requires a 3rd party add-on of which there are many. This one is good & it works inside Dreamweaver. Image Gallery Magic 2: The Finest Dreamweaver Gallery Builder Or if you want an image slider, look at Wow Slider. WOW : jQuery Slider w/o Coding : jQuery Slideshow Another approach uses server-side scripting with PHP code to automatically populate the web page with images stored in a designated server folder (i.e. thumbnails_folder/ and slides_folder/). I often use this method because I don't need to do much to maintain it except delete/add new images to the folders. All the heavy lifting is performed by the PHP script.

#2 I don't know. It must be a Mac thing. Maybe the Xampp for Mac documentation can explain it. Did your server-side includes work on the test site? Nancy

You may need to re-enable the extension. Are you using a current Extension Manager of some kind?

Design-Time Stylesheets were removed from DW quite some time ago. I'm not sure I understand the problem though. Includes are just code snippets. If you have a testing server installed & set-up, you should be able to see includes in Split View as shown in my screenshot. Nancy

As you no doubt know, the OP is using Fluid Grid Layouts (floats). And Flexbox is a big departure from that. Not that I have any love for legacy (now deprecated in CC 2017) Fluid Grid Layouts mind you. But the Flexbox approach may need a little explanation. Nancy

Do whatever you like and works best for your workflow. Presently I have 2 versions of DW, PS and AI installed. I also have Brackets code editor but I rarely use it since DW 2017 came out in November. In fact, I'm using CC 2017.1 right now on a production site with no major problems. Maybe because I am fully adjusted to how it works now. It takes time and for some folks change is really hard. So don't make major upgrades until you have some free time to devote to it. Nancy

Right now, there is no TEST folder on the remote domain. http://www.warrencampdesign.com/TEST/ Can you show me a screenshot of your Files panel in expanded mode? The Remote server directories on the left and Local files on the right. If you have a TEST folder, it should be showing on both panels. Nancy

i noticed the program seemed to be auto saving my work... Don't assume anything. Always, always save your work regularly with Ctrl+S. If you don't, you're asking for trouble. I often save multiple versions of the same project to revert back to if needed. You can never have too many backups when things go horribly wrong on you (power failures, computer glitches, mutant zombie attacks, etc...). There's nothing worse than losing an entire day's worth of work because you neglected to save backups. Nancy

I often had to write my own job descriptions because nobody -- including supervisors -- knew everything I took care of. They understood only what they saw personally but not the bigger picture. So every 6 months or so, I had to revise my job description because it kept evolving. I suspect your HR is doing the same thing, trying to get a handle on all that you do and what you do that perhaps you shouldn't be expected to do -- like the video stuff. Put it all down on paper, keep a copy for your files. Also update your job description in the personnel file as often as needed. Nancy

In my experience, the first time you launch it takes a while to cache sites and sync settings, etc... Thereafter, it should launch faster. If it doesn't, turn off auto sync in Preferences and disable Enable Cache in your site definition settings. Also, keeping local files on the primary hard drive instead of an external gives better performance. Nancy

Given your present fear of making a wrong move, I suggest you create a TEST site and put that folder on your testing server so you can see how this all works first. Once you understand it, you'll be less fearful of moving your production folder into XAMPP. This will have no effect on your sites except that you'll need to adjust the local file path in your site settings from old location to Applications\xampp\htdocs\. Everything else will function exactly as before. When you save files, they will automatically save to your site folder inside XAMPP. When you upload files, they will go to your remote server. Nancy

I have a slightly different way of making persistent page indicators on menus. Persistent Page Indicator on Menus - http://alt-web.com/ Give each anchor a class name. <a class="home" href="index.html">HOME</a> | <a class="about" href="about.html">ABOUT US</a> | <a class="products" href="products.html">PRODUCTS</a> | <a class="services" href="services.html">SERVICES</a> On each page, apply the target class name to your <body> tag. <body class="home"> <body class="about"> etc... CSS: body.home a.home, body.about a.about, body.products a.products, body.services a.services { /**your custom styles here**/ color: red; text-decoration: underline; background: yellow; } Nancy
