I'm new to Dreamweaver and have spent a few days with the online video and
other tutorials. I'm having trouble with John Vares' tutorial for setting up a
new site. The instructions direct the user to work with the Site Manager. I
follow all the instructions and the site is properly created. But my site does
not include all the folders shown in FIG 2 of John's sample site:

Is the Site Manager supposed to generate a standard set of file folders and
necessary files for a new site or do we include those manually? If manually
are there "best practices" or "industry standards" for setting up the site
folder structure?

No. you create the files yourself.

BUT- in the case of that tutorial, there is a link at the start of it for a
zipped set of practice files.

Sample files:

* cafe_townsend_cs3.zip (ZIP, 2.1MB)
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/cafe_townsend_cs3.zip

unzip that file inside of the "local site folder" you've created, then
follow the tutorial.
