The largest paid software is vBulletin, while phpBB offers similar features for free (links in the Resources section).

Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, the download process may take several minutes.
Double-click the file you downloaded to extract the contents of the bulletin board software. Click the file that is named 'README.' Follow the detailed instructions to install the bulletin board software on your website.
Upload the bulletin board folder to your web hosting account. Install the bulletin board directory in your home directory. Thus, the bulletin board will be the first page that visitors see when they visit your website domain.
Access the bulletin board's control panel using the administrator account you created during the installation process. Customize the board as you wish, then save all changes. The bulletin board software is now active on your website. Visitors to your page will be able to create a new account, post messages and reply to messages.

How to See Who Viewed My Craigslist Ad (5 Steps)

Prepare the images you plan to use in your listing. You don’t need to do anything special with them; just edit them as you normally would.
Contact your Web hosting service and tell them you want to track unique views of a specific image file; they'll explain how you can do this. You may also be able to find the information in their site FAQ or customer support literature. Just look for their Web analytics support documentation.
Upload the image as advised by your Web host’s customer support. You only need to do this with one image. Tracking statistics on multiple images can cause you to accidentally multiply the number of visitors who view your listing. If you do use multiple images, store the others elsewhere on your Web pages or host them directly on Craigslist.
Link to the image when you post your Craigslist ad, using the HTML image tag: . Replace 'URL' with the actual URL of your image, including the 'http://" at the beginning and keeping the quotation marks.
Track the unique downloads for the image in your listing. This number roughly corresponds to the actual number of individual visitors.

How to Create a High School Newspaper Online (5 Steps)

Brainstorm with other student journalists to decide what kind of online newspaper you want. If your news site will only have an article or two a day, you may want to use a blog template or format. If you plan to publish a more magazine-style weekly edition with more stories, you will probably want a more complicated front page to showcase what's in each issue. Your website will also need to support any additional features such as slideshows and polls.
After you have decided what you want your newspaper to look like, try to do some moderate fundraising. Although it's possible to launch a website for free, even $50 will help your newspaper buy a memorable website address and quality hosting from a site like godaddy.com or dreamhost.com. These expenses can be made back later through online advertising.
Build your news website. Most high schools have students with excellent computer skills who are talented at building websites. But if no one knows HTML or CSS and learning website-building tools seems too intimidating, then look to services such as School Newspapers Online, which will create a website that will make publishing online easy. (See the resources section below).
Create content for your newspaper. Along with written articles, an online newspaper is a great place for multimedia and interactive content such as photo slideshows, videos, podcasts, polls, forums and calendars. Use a mix of content and a variety of voices to encourage more page views.
Market your newspaper. You can promote it through old-fashioned announcements such as flyers and word of mouth, but it might be better to advertise via email or through messages and posts on social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter.
