When You Have Questions or Need More Help, We're Here For You

You can even get personal help from us at MyMinisites Network if you want. We will answer your emails and speak with you on the phone. We offer this service because it does depend upon the services you use to perform some of the steps. If we walk or talk you through it once and help you set up your accounts, you can do the rest yourself, and have total control of your website.

Basic Skills Needed to Begin

To follow these instructions, you will need some basic PC skills. These are skills that most people already have if they have had a PC online for some time. Specifically, you must know how to type and use a text editor, like Notepad or Wordpad, to create and save files with .txt or .html extensions, use the Windows Explorer or File lists to create new folders and rename them as needed, and use your Internet browser, like IE, the default Windows browser. If you use a non-Windows computer, you must know more about it than I do so you can convert the Windows commands as needed.

Let's Get Started!

I suggest you create a New Folder for working on this project. Rename it something like Myminisite or MyFirstWebsite or something appropriate. Download the following files into your new folder to get started.

Downloads:

Get the template. Download MyMinisites template.txt. To download this file, right-click on the link and "Save Target As" (on Windows).
Get my "ALittleHTMLGuide". Download A Little HTML Guide. To download this file, right-click on the link and "Save Target As" (on Windows). This is a .txt file for a reason. You can easily cut and paste the examples from this file when it is a text file.
Get the sample logo graphic file for the template. Download yourlogo.gif. To download this file, right-click on the link and "Save Target As" (on Windows).

You can edit or read the files with the Windows Notepad or Wordpad utility that comes free with Windows. If you have other text editors, go ahead and use them. But DO NOT USE a word processor, like MSWord. A word processor will add hidden codes that will ruin your work.

If you are using a Mac or Unix operating system, you will have to change these instructions somewhat and use their text editors.

The 3 EASY Steps to Create Your Custom Web Page:

Read and follow "A Little HTML Guide" to change the template any way you wish.
Be sure to watch for the tag formatting. In programming the exact formatting is very important! If you mess up the file, you can come back and download another template.
When you want to see your changes for the first time, SaveAs the changed template file with an html extension. You do this by specifically adding the ".html" instead of the .txt already there. YOU MUST DO THIS for it to run in the Internet browsers. Don't forget the "." (dot). I suggest you enter a filename that makes sense to you, like myfirstwebpage.html. After the first time, just Save the file again, obviously.
In Explorer, double-click the filename you saved. It will display in your browser with your changes. "Testing is fun." I edit, test, edit, test, edit, test, until I'm satisfied my web page looks exactly right.

TIP: This tip will come in handy if you plan to learn HTML and use it extensively. You will naturally want to learn more and see how other webpage code works. You can read the website's HTML code in most browsers with View/Source (from the Toolbar). The html source displays in Notepad for you to see how other programmers coded their website files and can teach you more HTML. (When it doesn't work, it is because the programmers use a blocking script to keep their code hidden. You can too.)

Don't be intimidated if you see a bunch of complex, ill formatted HTML code. Most of that hard-to-read code was created by website generators. They are usually highly-sophisticated programs themselves, not real people. If you look close, you can find some HTML code you will recognize.
