Creating a local site
There are three ways to create a local site:
- You can use the Site Wizard to create a new site from a site template. The wizard automatically creates a local site, complete with a site tree, to contain the documents it generates.
- You can create an empty local site with the New Site command. After creating an empty site, you can add documents to it by dragging them from Windows Explorer or by creating them from scratch.
- You can create a local site from the contents of an existing folder on the local file systemThe collection of drives and network folders connected to your computer. with the New Site command. (The folder contents may consists of files imported from a Web site.) Any HTML documents and resource files in the folder and any subfolders will automatically be added to the local site, and Namo WebEditor will automatically generate a site tree from the documents and subfolders.
When you create a local site, Namo WebEditor adds a special file named site.wej and a special folder named _we_info5 in the local site’s top-level folder. These special items store site information and internal resources. By default, these items are not visible in the Site Manager, although you can see them in Windows Explorer. Do not delete these items unless you want to delete the local site.
