Posting WebPage

Today we are going to post webpages to the internet. This is not a required assignment, but I want to give you all the chance to post these pages you have worked hard on to the internet. In order to do this we need to do a couple of things.

First, we need to find a host. There are hundreds of web hosts for webpages. These hosts vary in services they offer and in costs. In order to find one that fits your needs you will want to do a lot of searching, and maybe some trial and error. (Try a site, see if it works for you, if not, try another)

Each person will have different needs, and different things that they are looking for.

Here is a site that allows you to search for a free web hosts that fits your needs: http://www.freewebspace.net/search/power.shtml

Once you have found a site that you want to use, you need to set up an account and begin uploading your pages.

Important note!

Before you post your site there are a couple of things you will want to change:

1. Don't include personal information such as: phone number, mailing address
2. Be careful of the email address you use. Don't give your primary address as you will quite likely start getting junk email messages. (If you don't have one, set up a hotmail account to deal with all your junk mail.)
3. Change or remove the links to your friends' pages.
4. Make sure you are following all rules of the host (they may require you to add code for advertising.)

Once you have changed your pages you can follow the steps to upload them to the internet. Now, your friends from other places can find your page!

We will be looking at some of the things you will run into while you try to upload your page.
