Chapter 2. Adding and Formatting Text
Nowadays, streaming video, audio, and high-quality graphics are what draw most people to websites. After all, it’s exciting to hear the latest song from your favorite band, see a preview of a yet-to-be released blockbuster, or tune in to YouTube to see the kid down the street embarrass himself in front of a billion Web viewers.
But the fact is, the Web is woven primarily with words. iPad reviews, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga gossip, and countless personal blogs about cats still drive people to the Internet. As you build web pages and websites, you’ll spend a lot of time adding and formatting text. To get your message across effectively, you need to understand how Dreamweaver works with text.
That’s what this chapter is all about—it covers the not-always-simple act of getting text into your Dreamweaver documents. In Chapter 3, you’ll learn how to format that text so it looks professionally designed.
