when I view my page in IE it looks fine all the links work everything good,
even when i send it to someone else. But the url still looks like this:
\\Echo\newsletter\SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER\real newsletter.dwt...
I need to change it to a www.(link goes here). How would I do this or where
would I change it. I'm looking at the code but couldnt find out a way to change
it from there.. Thanks!

Open up Help in Dreamweaver (F1 if you're on Windows). Search using the terms "define site". It'll be the first result: "About defining a Dreamweaver site".

thanks but this didnt help..

When you define a site you give Dreamweaver the FTP information for your web
host. You can then upload or "put" the files that makeup your website. You
don't need to change anything in your source-code, as when you define the site
Dreamweaver will pretty much do the rest.

Have you purchased hosting and do you have the account login details?

that is a local URL and you need to define a site. IE local site,
testing server, remote site.

Once your done testing the files you will upload them to a server
where the remote site is. To get the www.(address).com you need to
register a domain name, get server space, configure the server and
point the DNS to the server where the site is located.

The www.whatever.com doesnt get coded anywhere.

If your asking this then I strongly advise you to take some tutorials
on making a site with DreamWeaver.

> thanks but this didnt help..

several attempts to explain this to you were made last week when you asked
it in a different thread.

The ONLY way the browser's URL address bar is going to show
http://www.example.com/page.html

is if:
1.- You register the domain example.com
2.- You arrange for website hosting, and point the DNS for example.com to
that hosting.
3.- You define a "site" in dreamweaver using this info about the remote
hosting's FTP address
4.- You select the file in dreamweaver's Files Panel and UPLOAD it to the
remote host.

Currently, you are viewing the file directly from Your hard drive. It is not
"on the internet". Get a domain name, and get hosting for it.

You need to publish the file to a web host.
