5. Click OK to create the email link.

6. Review the link field in the Properties panel.
An email link must begin with “mailto:” followed by the address. When you use the
Email Link dialog box, Dreamweaver automatically inserts the mailto: protocol.

7. Save the file and close it, then continue to the next stage of the project.

STAGE 3 / Naming and Titling Documents

When a web server (a computer that stores and delivers web pages) receives a request for a folder,
but not a specific page, it delivers the default page for that folder — usually named index.html or
index.htm. There is no practical difference between the two extensions, and most web servers can
serve files with either. (If you do not have an index file in that folder, the link will result in an error.)
To create links to the default page in a specific folder, you do not need to include the file name if
you use the index naming convention. Both www.fbfreshbistro.com/ and www.fbfreshbistro.com/
index.html refer to the same page.

Rename Pages for Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the ranking of a web
page on search engine results pages (SERPs). Search engines certainly use the content
of a page for ranking purposes, but the names of folders and files also affect rankings.
Descriptive folder and file names improve usability. You can use m/menu1.html
for the path to the lunch menu page, for example, but /menus/lunch-menu.html is
much easier for visitors to understand, and will improve your search engine ranking.
In this exercise, you rename the menu pages to more accurately describe what
is contained in the files. As with moving files, the application recognizes when a file
name has been changed and knows that links to the page must be adjusted.

1. With the FB Bistro site open, click menus/menu1.html in the Files panel
to select that file.

2. Click the selected filename again to highlight it. Note:
This highlights the existing filename, excluding the You can also Control/
extension.
right-click a file in the
Files panel and choose
Edit>Rename to rename
a specific file.
