Good file management will make it easier to keep your work organized. It will also simplify the publishing process after you have created your web page. You will be creating a total of three folders. One folder will be called "Web Design". Inside that folder, you will be creating 2 more folders. One will be called "Stuff" the other will be named in lowercase letters without spaces using the initial of your first name and your full last name. For example, my folder would be named "ddell."
