Website Crunchtime

SO as it turns out, building a website is HARD. I swear there has to be an easier way to build a website with four pages than Dreamweaver makes it, but I'm slowly figuring it out. Thankfully, the deadline has been pushed back a couple days, allowing for me to tinker around with the software (and actually build a working website) before it's due. 

I have been having a lot of trouble with both Dreamweaver and the online server, as my website and server are refusing to sync. Although that sounds like a detrimental issue, at the end of the day, I can still save all of my files onto the server manually and just work on the website on Dreamweaver in the local files. The only risky thing about this is that I can't upload the files until I'm completely done working on it so if my program crashes, I'm done for. Also, if I forget to save even just one file, or can't find a file that is integral to the navigation or design of my website, my entire website could be skewed. 

While I am very stressed about this project and am wishing on a lucky star at this point that I can figure out how to make this process run a little more smoothly, I am really thankful that I know a least a LITTLE about coding, website design, servers, CSS, HTML and all the rest of the lingo that I never thought I would be acquainted with in my lifetime.
