1. Download Fetch- enter the information provided on the BU website for the serial number and user name.
2. Create a new connection by entering the FTP information provided by your server. It will either have been sent to you in an email, or for godaddy.com, enter into your account, go to the product section, and click on ‘Launch’, which will show your FTP info. In Fetch, make sure you are in the main folder, where the index.html file is located. Make sure to save it as a favorite so you don't have to reenter the info again.
3. Create your graphic in Photoshop. “Coming soon,” “Future home of www.domain.com,” etc. Save the image as a .jpg through “Save for Web & Devices.” Remember to make your page 990px X 765 PX.
4. In Dreamweaver, open a new html document- just a blank page with no layout applied to it. Don’t worry about the Doc Type- XHTML 1.0 Transitional or whatever shows up as the default is fine. Go to “Insert”, choose “Image”, and select your graphic that you created in Photoshop. Save the html document as index.html.
5. In Fetch, drag both documents you created- both your .jpg graphic and your index.html document- into the window/directory. Or, you can click on “Put” and select your documents from your computer.
6. In a web browser, go to www.yourdomain.com. Your image should be displayed. If it isn’t, try again and make sure your cache is cleared- either hold shift and press the refresh button, or in Firefox, go to Tools, Clear Recent History, select cache from the menu and hit Clear Now.
-Good luck.
