Linking and Navigation in Adobe Dreamweaver
One way of linking and navigating easily and having fun while using the site is an image map. An image map is simply an image divided into or covered in hotspots, causing the ability to link to many different places on the same images (like a map). This can be useful in many different settings and helps the user feel more welcome and enjoy their experience while using your website (maybe you will even see someone brag about how cool your site is because of this :D). It is an easy way to navigate and organize info on your site and a pretty ingenious way to do it too. Another is jump menus, both of these are my favorite to ways to navigate a web page personally. A jump menu is simply a menu that can open more options within an option by clicking or hovering over it. This is turn can give your users a few main options, then suboptions, then maybe even more options, then linking to wherever is needed. This requires a list of linked menu items, and optionally a menu selection prompt or instruction, and a go button. These are both extremely welcoming and exciting ways for people to navigate your site. Changing Navigation Settings or how you navigation bar works or is placed can boost your web page exponentially and make it fun to use, not just another web site someone anonymous created. So if you are going to make a webpage to post on the internet please please please use a fun navigation tool, and maybe I will even use your site :D.
