"Stylin' with CSS: A Designer's Guide 2nd Edition"

You can obtain the FTP log-in information from
your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or, if you are in a corporate environment,
your network administrator.
The only page you absolutely need in the root level folder (my
local version of this folder is called stylin2_site in Figure 7.3) is
the home page, which is the 3_col_liquid_faux.html ?¬? le, renamed
to home.html so it loads automatically. See the sidebar called ???The
Root Directory??? for details on this. Although you can put all the
XHTML pages at this top level, it??™s good practice to organize them
into subfolders.

STYLIN??™ WITH CSS - CHAPTER 7 236
When I set up the folder structure of a new site, I always create four
folders ?¬? rst, inside the root folder, called css, javascript, images,
and images_pres. The ?¬? rst two contain the CSS and JavaScript ?¬? les,
respectively. The images folder holds all the images that relate to the
content??”the photograph and the image of the book, in the case
of this page. The images_pres folder contains all the presentational
images, such as backgrounds, that are part of the visual design
rather than the content.
Organizing the images across two folders in this way makes it
much easier to update the design of your site; you could update
the images in the images_pres folder but leave the content-related
images in the images folder as is.
