How do I create a development folder myself?

Memberkit comes with a default site design. But it also allows you to create yours and use it with memberkit.

Here are some suggestions for developing your site on your computer.

- Create a folder on your computer as dev.
- Then create following structure in this folder (File names are representative).

- dev
   |_ css/
   |     |_ style.css
   |
   |_ layout/
   |     |_ layout.html
   |     |_ loggedin_layout.html
   |
   |_ images/
   |     |_ image.png
   |     |_ [....png]
   |
   |_ js/
   |     |_ any_dreamweaver_script.js
   |
   |_ index.html

- Do not link from anything outside of dev folder, keep everything under this folder, all flash objects, images, script etc.
- Design all pages as content only and keep your site design in layout files.
- Make sure all local links are relative such as "../css/style.css" in your layout and external links have the HTTP prefix.
- Mark your layouts with {BODY} tag on where your content will be placed.
- Upload all these files to your site, under dev folder.
- When you publish you'll see your design will be converted to live site.
