Specific Web Development Issues
Building an Engaging home Page
If you find the home page of your website drab and boring, chances are people who come to your site have a similar reaction. This session demonstrates ways to enliven your page by catching the web visitor’s eye and presenting them with a variety of clickable options to get them involved with your site and clicking around.

Using Dreamweaver to build a Server Side Include (SSI)
This session dealt with how to use SSIs for repeating elements that show up on all or many of your web pages, such as navigation panels and footers. An SSI allows you to add a repeating element with a single line of code. Also, they allow you to make global changes to your website; just change the SSI, and every page that pulls in the SSI will automatically be updated.
