Author .cfm extension

Hi wonder if anyone can help me. I am a new webdesigner. I was just hired to
take over a website and I noticed that all the pages have the extenstion of
..cfn. I am not familar with this extenstion. Can I continue to design and use
dreamweaver and just save as .cfm page or is it more complicated than that.
Help please I am lost on this one. I have always created html page. Thank you:o

CFM is the extension for a ColdFusion server application. You can, indeed,
continue to design and use DW as you have before, but you'll have to be
careful not to disturb any CF-related info on any existing pages you edit.
You can use the .cfm extension on pages that don't have any CF markup on
them, but page performance may suffer slightly (but probably not noticeably
huge).

As with any server-side technology, it pays to know the lay of the land
before you go changing the landscape. I'd carefully analyze the pages
you're working on first, being careful not break something that already
exists. CFML is a great and easy technology to learn, though. If you have
the time and inclination, it would definitely be worth the effort.

Best regards,
Chris
