Alternatively, if you want to syndicate
your content, you would only need to provide the XHTML
markup and images from the images folder??”believe me, no one
wants your site??™s background images when displaying your content
on their own site. As a rule of thumb, if an image is part of the structure
of the page and is therefore referenced from the XHTML, that
image belongs in the images folder. If an image is referenced from
the CSS, and is therefore part of the page??™s presentation, it belongs
in the images_pres folder.
Creating the Site Architecture
Even for a simple site like this one, it??™s worth drawing an architecture
diagram to make you plan out the site??™s structure before you start
creating graphics and code. An architecture diagram also lets you
see the balance of content between the various areas of the site, and
forces you to consider what the pages will be called and the kinds of
logical groups into which they are organized. This is very important
work in the development of a large site, and worth doing even for
this site, which will be only a few pages. Figure 7.4 shows the architectural
diagram for the Stylin??™ site.
Some presentational aspects of the site are suggested by Figure 7.4,
although its primary purpose is to indicate site structure. You can
see in the screenshot above that at the top of the architecture diagram
I??™ve dropped in the wireframe layout of the page (see Figure
7.
