Now I am going to open up my Inspector Palette because it's a very, very important palette that we haven't talked about at all yet. I have got to get to know the Inspector Palette. So I am going to move over here and open the Inspector Palette. In fact, I am going to actually drag it out of its palette set, so that we can get a closer look at it, and I'll bring it down here a bit.
Now when I select this page, seacreatures.html, the Inspector Palette changes and it shows down in the lower-left corner the word File. That shows me what the Inspector is actually inspecting. In this case, it's a file.
We have some options up here, the Name of the page which is seacreatures.html, the labeling, we can give it a Label if we would like, and its Publish status. So we can say whether or not we want this page to be published. We also have other options across the top, such as Name, Content and Page. Now this Page, this is an interesting one here because you'll notice that it's got an option for Title, and here it says Untitled Page. That's because by default, every new page that you create and GoLive is simply untitled.
Where is the title found when you actually open up a page in the web browser? Right across the top of the browser window. Normally, you'd see something like Welcome to our Home Page or something like that. This right here signifies which page in this site is the Home Page. You will notice if I switch to select index.html, that button is checked and it's also grayed out. GoLive needs to have a home page designated in the site window, or it can't do its link management. So if you were to try to delete the index.html page, you would get a warning.
Now what I would like to do is open up seacreatures.html and I do that by double-clicking on it. You can see that it also has the Title attribute right up here at the top of the page. So not only can we change it in the Inspector Palette, if we have the file selected in the site window, but we can change it in the HTML page itself, simply by selecting the Title field and typing in our new title. I am going to type in, Let's learn about Sea Creatures.
It's important for you to include keywords that describe the content of your page in the title of the page, because that's what search engines use when they rate your page and return the search results to a user who is trying to find information about that subject.
Okay, I am going to move the Inspector Palette down just a bit, so I can show you these buttons that's are hiding back here. This is the one that I would like to show you, it's called page properties. When we click on page properties, you can clearly see again the Title of the page, some of the Colors that are at the default colors that are set in any HTML page, and options for a Background and Image. Now these last two options here Margin Width and Height allow you to put a margin along the left and top sides of the browser window.
Now I am going to put the Inspector Palette back in its palette set over here on this side because I want to show you an easy way to set the margins on a page to Zero. At the page properties icon, simply right-click or Ctrl+Click on a Mac and go down to Set Page Margins to Zero and select it. That will ensure that all of the content on your page, if you want it to, can snuggle all the way up into the upper left-hand corner.
