Day 2: Set It Up, Add Folders

Set It Up, Add Folders First you have to decide what you want your Web site to be about. It can be anything you want. Think about what your interests are. A lot of people write their sites about their families or about themselves. Many people write their site about a hobby or something they are fascinated with. There are sites about TV shows and movies, how to do something you're good at, research you are doing on a topic of interest and just about anything.

I am going to write my site about me and my family. I am going to add an online diary section where I can keep track of things going on in my life. Then I am going to add sections about things I feel strongly about.

To add the folders to your site you need to go to the "Member Area" or "File Manager". Go to the area where you can build your site and click on "New Folder" or "Add Folder". Give each folder a name based on what you want to write your site about. I created a separate folder for each of my boys and one for my journal. I will add more later once I get these folders populated and working.

When you name your folders make sure you use lower case letters, however you type the names is how they will show up in the page address. Also, don't forget to create a folder for your graphics, it's good to keep them all in one place so they are easier to find later if you need them for something else.
