A site root is where all the information/images/coding/HTML and CSS etc. is kept. It is important to keep my folder as tidy as possible to avoid clutter. When I was making my website banner on Photoshop, I had a bit of difficulty with making sure that the banner was fit to the right specifications so that when I uploaded it onto Dreamweaver it would fit without any issues. I had made a banner and saved it as a JPEG image and as a PNG file, because of this, I had two of the same images on my USB and a few days later I decided to change the design of my banner so I created a whole new file. With all this work, I was forgetting that I was accumulating a lot of images on my USB outside of my site root folder which created a bit of confusion when trying to remember which image was the most recent to use on Dreamweaver. What I learned from this is that when creating something as important as a website, you need to remember to keep the device you are keeping your files on very neat and straight forward so if you encounter a problem, you can easily locate your necessary files without confusion. I have now made sure that whatever is on my USB and in my site root folder is relevant to my website and that I can easily navigate around it.
