Q&A
1. I forgot to change the name of my page when I saved it, and now it is called untitled 3.html. How can I fix it?
Select the file in the Files list and type the new name over the old one. GoLive will advise you if files linking to or from that file need to be updated. When asked, tell GoLive to go ahead and update the files. All your links will remain intact.
2. I wanted to make my page background blue, so I dragged a blue color chip from the Color palette onto my blank page, but all I got was the word, "color" in blue! What happened?
You need to drag and drop the color chip onto the Page icon at the top-left corner of the page, not into the body of the Document window.
