DreamWeaver
Okay, so... not gonna lie.. I'm struggling with this whole website editing thing. Okay, so I edited the information on the page and I want to synchronize but it says that I can't. I'm going to assume that I'm missing a step. Help. =(

Bleh, dreamweaver has really clunky coding and the last time I even used it (I think I was 11) none of the coding was valid.
http://www.w3schools.com is probably the best way to learn, but you need patience. |

Yeah, that's way over my head. I don't know where to start. DreamWeaver looked easy yesterday.

I think DreamWeaver is relatively easy but it can be annoying sometimes when it won't do exactly what you want or you can't find which part of the code is wrong.

What's the actual error message you get?
Also, did you set up a "Dreamweaver Site" to manage the site's files? |

The message says
"No synchronization necessary. Would you like to view the list of files so you can manually synchronize?"

It seems it doesn't think there's any reason to synchronize (i.e. it didn't detect any changes).
You can select the files from within Dreamweaver, right click then select Put to have them "manually" uploaded. If you don't see the list of files in the Dreamweaver window, press F8 and it should pop up. |

yeah I did that but still no changes have been made on the website. I accidentally changed something on the main page but I don't know how.

When you first start Dreamweaver, a "Choose what you would like to make"-type dialog should appear (if it hasn't been turned off). One of the options should be to make a new "Dreamweaver Site" which basically creates a way for DW to manage the local files and also gives it access to the server to be able to update them.
Alternatively, the new site option could be under the File menu (I don't have a copy of DW here so I'm just working from memory) |
