I`m trying to get my first web page (I`ve only got one ready so far - to test) from dreamweaver to my rootschat web site. I`ve got myself in such a muddle and I really need some help.
When I check (by putting my web address into the address bar at the top of the screen) to see if anything has happened it says "page cannot be found".
I have deleted the rootschat holding page, checked my firewall.
I want to be able to make sitewide changes (css) from my pc - do I still need CoffeeCup?

I think I should have added that when I do a test connection from the dreamweaver site definition, an error message comes up : an FTP error occurred, cannot open remote folder, access denied, file may not exist or could be a connection problem
Not sure if this is helpful.

Thanks Bob and Biker.
I did not understand about naming the start page "indexhtm". Anyway its been renamed and I can now see my web page. Only thing is though, it looks absolutely NOTHING like the page I designed! No colours and the design all over the place. I don`t understand it - as it looks fine when I check it in the browser, and I took weeks following and copying a tutorial on designing with css that I got from the macromedia dreamweaver website.
I`m slowly losing the will with this...

Hello again
If you're using CSS as a beginner I'm not surprised there is a hitch or two, it's one of the more difficult aspects of webdesign to get the hang of - most people don't use them for that reason. Don't give up though!
Can you give me the url to your webpage and I'll have a look at it if you like.
Regards
Biker

Does cartwheels down the street!!!!!
Runs round the block - t shirt over her head !!!!!!
(Well in spirit anyway, too much of a lady to actually do all that, also in the middle of cooking roast dinner for family of five - boy can this girl multi task!!!!!)
 Thank you soooooooo much for all your help, Bob, Biker... I`m so grateful.
Its taken me months. I knew/still know nothing about websites, computers even SO IF I CAN DO IT ... ANYONE CAN.
Can someone please tell me if they too can see it (and also the picture of the tree in the top left)

Now I can get on with, and enjoy, messing about with it and adding to it etc. My main goal was actually to just see if I could do it.
Mission accomplished
