CityDesk 2.0-Documentation
Lesson 1 - Creating a Simple Site

In CityDesk, every element of your site -- articles, HTML files, templates, pictures, and anything else you want to publish -- is stored in a single file on your hard drive. When you create a site, you're really just creating one file.

  Start CityDesk, if it is not already running, by choosing Start » Fog Creek Software » CityDesk.

If you have used CityDesk before, it will open the same site as you were last editing. In this case:

  Select File » New Site

If this is the first time you've run CityDesk, you'll see a welcome dialog. In this case:

  Click on Create a new CityDesk site

A dialog box will ask you to name your site and save it on your computer.

  Type a name for your site and click Save.

As you can see, you have now created a new site with a few things in it.

• There's a folder for articles named Articles which has one article already in it, called Getting Started.
• There's a folder for images called Images with one picture in it.
• There's an article called index. When this gets published, it will become the index.html page which is the first thing people see when they visit your web site.

  Try double clicking on the Getting Started article. You can edit it using the built-in word processor.

  Click Save and Close.
