Your site navigation is easy to grasp and hip. Your JPEGs and GIFs convey the site's message perfectly. But all of that effort is wasted if you haven't set up the infrastructure properly. As Web designer and author David Sawyer McFarland points out, "A single broken link or missing graphic can interfere with the operation of your entire site, causing personal -- even professional -- embarrassment."

Although it may not be the most glamorous part of your job, site management is one of the most important. This excerpt from the popular book, "Dreamweaver MX 2004: The Missing Manual," is crammed with site-management tips for everyone from the beginner to the veteran.
