How to Map a Drive to a Web Site (8 Steps)


Open Windows Explorer by running 'explorer.exe' from the Run dialog box. You can bring up the Run dialog box by pressing the 'Windows' key and the letter 'R' at the same time. In the available text area, type 'explorer.exe' and press 'Enter.'
In Windows Explorer, click on the 'Tools' menu near the top, and select the 'Map Network Drive' option. This will open the Map Network Drive dialog box.
Click on the link that will allow you to connect to a network server or website, located beneath the drive letter and folder selection boxes. This may be listed as 'Sign up for online storage or connect to a network server' or 'Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures,' depending on your version of Microsoft Windows. This will open the 'Add Network Place Wizard.'
Click the 'Next' button on the Add Network Place Wizard. When prompted to choose where to create the network place, click 'Choose another (or custom) network location' and then click 'Next.'
In the Internet or network address text area, type your FTP address and click 'Next.' Typically this will be 'ftp://www.yourdomain.com' or 'ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com,' where 'yourdomain' is the name of the website you're attempting to access. Your FTP log-in information can be acquired by contacting your domain hosting service.
If your FTP allows anonymous login, make sure the 'Log on anonymously' box is checked. If your FTP requires a user name and password, uncheck the 'Log on anonymously' box and type your user name in the provided text area and click 'Next.'
Type a name to identify this network place, then click 'Next.'
Make sure the 'Open this network place when I click Finish' box is checked. The first time the network place is opened, you will be prompted for your FTP password. The network place can now be accessed from My Computer or from Windows Explorer.

How to Publish a Website Online (4 Steps)


Purchase a domain name. Before you can even begin thinking about a publishing a website, you're going to want to have a domain name. Coming up with a good domain name can be a challenge as many of the best names are already taken. The key to selecting a good domain name is to be creative and try to find something catchy and easy to remember while still representing your website. You can search for available domain names on websites such as GoDaddy and Network Solutions, among many others. Domain names can be purchased for varying amounts of time ranging from one year to life.
Purchase a hosting plan. Once you've picked out your domain name, you'll need to decide what type of hosting plan you need. Your hosting will include how much web space your site will have, how much data transfer your site will be capable of providing, how many visitors can be on the site at one time, and how many e-mail addresses your site will have, among many other features.
Create your website. If you are new to website creation, many hosting companies offer programs that will assist you. These programs will basically let you enter everything in plain text and convert it all to HTML. This is often referred to as 'What you see is what you get.' These programs will also let you easily drop in photos and other documents. If you don't need assistance, you can use any of the various editing programs that are on the market.
Publish your site. Now that your website is created, you can publish your site simply by uploading what you have created directly into the root file of your web-hosting space. Your host will have complete instructions on how to publish to the root file.

How To Find an Embedded URL Address To Upload a Video


Go to the original video hosting website where the video you want to share is posted. Chances are, if you decide to share the video you are already at the page where the video has been posted. If not, find the video you want to share via the website search toolbar. Many websites host a myriad of videos that you can share and post onto your own websites or to your social network profiles.
Look for a “Share” button. The exact location will vary per website layout; however, it is generally located below or to the left or right side of the video. Choose the outlet for which you want to share the video on--for example, Facebook, MySpace, Blogspot or another website. The direct URL for the video will appear.
Copy and the paste the URL onto your selected website or social network profile page.
