Opening Up a Page:
Your "Files" window should be open to the appropriate tab listing the files to your site. Currently you only have an "index.html" file. This file will be the main page on your site. Double-click the "index.html" file name to open up the file for editing.

The "index.html" file will open into the main "Layout" design mode (called "WYSIWYG," or "What You See is What You Get"). It should seem very similar to a word processor at first. You can type directly on the page, or insert objects through the various menus.

Page Views:
There are three "views" you can create and preview your page in. "Layout" mode is the main WYSIWYG creation window. You use various toolbars to create and design directly on the page. In "Source" view you see only the source code (the HTML that makes up your page). The "Preview" window will show your web page as it would be seen in a stand-alone web browser, perfect for quick tests.

Page Properties:
To change the title of your page, the text colors, background colors, etc., you'll need to bring up the "Page Properties" within the Inspector window. To do this, select "Page Properties" from the "Special" menu.

The Inspector window will change to reflect this choice. On the main "Page" tab, you can change the title of your page (next to "Title"), the colors of various text items (such as links), the background color, and the margin widths.
