Dreamweaver: Customizing Your Navigation Bar

To edit an existing navigation bar button:

Highlight the text you want to change and type in what you want the link to say. Here, we are changing 'Link one' to 'Home.'

Next, under the Properties section, we are going to put our home page URL. Now, when someone clicks on 'Home', they will return to the home page.

For other links within your website, you can rename the links on the navigation bar, and then type the corresponding URL into the Properties section. Say we want to make a site map, first we will rename Link two to 'Site map' and then in the properties section, you want to write http://www.websitename.com/sitemap.

Adding Additional Buttons to Navigation Bar:

To make an additional button, put your cursor at the END of the text in your last button and press enter. A new button will be created, and you can now type in what you want the link to say. At first, you new button will not look like the others, but this will be fixed.

Next, we want type the corresponding URL into the Link box under Properties. Then hit Enter, and your button will look exactly like the rest of the buttons.
