How to Add Ads to My Web Page (6 Steps)
Make sure your web host will let you put ads on the page. Some free web hosting providers already have their own ads on the page or will not allow you to put Javascript on the page. If you can’t put ads on your existing web page, you will need to switch to another web hosting provider.
Join an advertising program. Write down your username and password; you will need them each time you sign in to the program website.
Log into the advertising program website and set up your account. Read the support pages to learn how to generate HTML code for ads and to select the types and sizes of ads you want to display on your web page.
Generate and copy the HTML code for an ad or ad group. You can copy the code by selecting the code and then choosing “Copy” from the 'Edit' menu of your web browser.
Open your web page in an HTML editor. Paste the copied HTML code into your web page at the place you want the ad to appear. You can control the position and appearance of the ads on your web page. Paste in the copied code by selecting “Paste” from the 'Edit' menu of your HTML editor. Save the file when you finish making changes.
Upload the web page to your web hosting account. View the page online to make sure the ads appear correctly. If they don’t, revise the HTML code, save the file and upload it again.

How to Upload an HTML Theme From ThemeForest
Download your theme or template from your ThemeForest downloads page. Click on your account name in the upper-right of their Web page. Unzip the file to an easy-to-find location on your hard drive.
Open the theme folder. In most cases, the files you need to edit and upload to your Web space are located in a sub-folder under the theme's name. Locate the 'index.html' file and open it in Notepad or an HTML editor. HTML editors are preferable, as they allow you to view the design of the theme and make changes without knowing HTML. The main value you want to find and change is the page title, and possibly the copyright text. The title is located near the top of the document, between '
' tags. The copyright text is likely located at the very bottom.
Access your Web space using your host's Web control panel, or an FTP program. If your Web space does not put you in the root of your domain by default, you may need to open the 'htdocs' or 'www' folder to access your site root. Refer to your host's documentation for how to find your website folder if needed.
Upload the edited contents of your theme's Web files folder to your website folder by dragging the files from one window to the other, or selecting them in your control panel and clicking 'Upload.' The HTML files must be in the main website folder and not in a sub-folder. For example, your website structure may have an index.html and contact.html in the root folder, and an 'images' sub-folder.
Type your URL into your Web browser to test your webpage. If the files were uploaded to the correct place, you should see your main page, or index.html file. Continue to make changes to the files using your text editor, then upload them to view the updated pages.

How to Change Your Domain Hosting
Research alternative Web hosting companies to find a service offering the features you need for your website at the best price.
Open an account with a new Web hosting company.
Log into your account with your current Web host.
Download all of your files from the host's server using the backup tool offered in the Web host's control panel or an FTP client application. Be sure to download all of your files. This includes any HTML files, picture files, audio files, flash files, INC files, CSS files, and so forth.
Back up your blog and Web forum database (if applicable) using a MySQL administration tool such as phpMyAdmin.
Log into your account with your new Web hosting company.
Obtain the DNS server information for the new Web hosting company. You will need this information later to update your DNS records to point to this new Web host server.
Upload all of the files for your website (downloaded in Step 4) to the new host's server.
Install the backup copy of your blog and forum database (created in Step 5) to the new host's server using their MySQL administration tool.
Log into your account with your original Web hosting company. Navigate to the Domain Name manager tool offered in the host's control panel. Edit your DNS records to reflect the server name associated with your new Web host. Submit the update. It can take up to 24 hours for the DNS records update to take effect globally. During this time your website will go off-line.
Visit your website. Check everything out to make sure all your Web pages have migrated successfully, the design elements of the site are still in tact, the website forum and blog are functioning properly, and so forth. Only after you're certain everything with your website is as it's supposed to be should you move on to the next step because you have mistakenly neglected to backup a stray file or two.
Cancel your account with your Web hosting company.

How to Stream a WAV (6 Steps)
Upload the WAV file to your own server. Although you might want to stream a file that already exists online somewhere, doing so could cause the person hosting the file to lose “bandwidth” (the amount of data the hosting provider allows him to use each month) every time someone plays it. Login to your 'File Manager' and upload the file. Double click on the name of your file within the 'File Manager' to open it in a new tab or window.
Add an 'embed' code to the HTML of the webpage on which you wish to stream your WAV file. Hold down the 'Ctrl' and 'C' keys at the same time and copy the following code onto your computer's clipboard by highlighting it.
hidden=true>
.
Paste the embed code into the HTML file for the page on which you plan to stream your wave. Double click on the file name—'index.html,' for example—in your 'File Manager' to open the HTML editor. Click your mouse wherever in the page—under the main 'Header' but before the 'Links' section, for example—and hold down the 'Ctrl' and 'V' keys at the same time to paste the embed code into the file.
Paste your WAV file's URL into the embed code. Navigate back to the tab where you opened your WAV file and click your mouse inside your browser's 'Address Bar.' Hold down the 'Ctrl' and 'C' keys at the same time to copy the file's URL and then tab back to your HTML file. Highlight the text file.wav and hold down the 'Ctrl' and 'V' keys at the same time to replace it with your file's URL.
Set whether or not you'd like your streaming WAV file to play automatically by adjusting the value after
'Autostart.' By default, the code you've inserted will begin playing the file as soon as someone visits your webpage. Replace 'true' with 'false' (all lowercase in any instance) to change this.
Save your HTML file and visit your webpage to listen to your streaming WAV file.

How to Create Your Own Sports Website (5 Steps)
Come up with a name for your website. Whatever the subject of the website will be, use that word in the name of your website. Be aware, however, that if your site will be about one particular team or team player, laws prohibit you from using the name of a team or player in the name of your website.
Purchase your domain name, which is the same as the name of your website. This can be done at any domain name seller's site. The top-rated domain name seller is GoDaddy.com.

Build your site. To do this, use a website programming language (html, xml, or xhtml). If you have no knowledge of these languages, use a website building software, such as CoffeeCup.com.
Monetize your site by registering with affiliate networks. There's a link to a list of dozens of free affiliate networks in the Resources section below.By using affiliate networks, you can earn commissions by using unique links that the affiliate networks provide you with. When a person visits your site, clicks on one of those links, and makes a purchase, you will earn commission.Depending on the theme of your sports website, you can link to books about sports, sports memorabilia, sports posters, and basketball and football jerseys, among other things.

Login to your website's control panel and click on File Manager. Select 'Show hidden files' and click on public_html (or root on some systems). Allow for file and folder lists to update and look for the .htaccess file inside of your public_html folder. Click on .htaccess and select 'Edit' or 'HTML Editor.' Browse the file once a new window opens up, and look for any malicious redirect code or HTML code that indicates an

Click on 'Save as' and select 'All files' under 'Save as type.' Type in .htaccess as File Name and click on 'Save.' Upload the new file and select 'Overwrite' when prompted.
Download all HTML and PHP files from public_html to your computer. Create a folder on the Desktop named 'Website' and use the Download feature on your FTP program to move the files from public_html to the newly created folder.

,
or any
tags. Delete the entire line of code and save the file. Upload cleaned out files back to your public_html using an FTP program and select 'Overwrite' when prompted.
Delete any free scripts from your HTML pages, especially counters, guestbooks and any widgets. Free scripts can contain virus coding and redirects, as well as sponsored pop-ups that can be falsely read as viruses by your anti-virus program.
Update all scripts and programs that are installed on your website. Go back to the website's control panel and click on 'Site Software.' Check if there is anything listed as 'Installed.' Select 'Update' on the right hand side and follow instructions. Go back to main menu and click on 'Fantastico DeLuxe' (if available) and repeat the same procedure. Manually upgrade any scripts that have been installed through an FTP program by you directly. Download the updated version or patches from the developer site and update according to directions.
