Can I Set-Up My Own Website for Free
So, you have finally realized that there is something missing in your life. It is a website and you have got to have one now. Are you aware that you can make your own website totally free? Let me show you where to download some of the best no-cost open source software and also how to use it.
Whether you opt for an html site or a blog (php), your first requirement will be a graphics manipulation program. The GIMP is a very powerful graphics editor that is open source and free. And sure enough, I have instructional videos that will help you download it and make your first header.
If you decide on a blog then download my free SEO Optimized Blog. Since it uses php you will need to ftp it to your hosting site initially. You then log in to the dashboard of the admin section where you can do all your editing.
A major plus of using an html site is that you can do all your work on it on your desktop before you ftp it. You will need an html editor however, to work on your pages. The premier WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that fills this bill is Kompozer. Also it won’t break your wallet since it is cost-free and open source. To watch video tutorials that also have post/transcripts, you can stop by Build A Free Site.
