Determine where you would like to post the web page. You will need a web hosting service account. Three popular web hosting services include Go Daddy, bluehost and 1&1 (see Resources).
Determine the details of your account, including the hostname (the machine that that you will upload files to), your username, password and URL address.
Establish a connection to the Internet via a local area connection or wireless connection.
Open an FTP program such as FileZilla or CoreFTP, which are available for free download.
Enter your hostname, username and password of your website in the FTP program.
Locate the web page you would like to post. Click 'Browse' from the FTP program, navigate to the file and click to select it.
Click the option to transfer the web page to the hosting provider.

How to Upload Files to a Web Server

Use FileZilla to upload your files to your web server (see Resources.) This is a free software program designed for beginners. Log into the console using the information provided by your web hosting provider (domain, account username, and password). When you log in, navigate to the folder on your computer containing your web files and then drag and drop the file to your web server. This software works on almost all platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Manage your web server files using Ipswitch WS_FTP. This software, which contains advanced security features to protect your file transfers, is available for a fee (see Resources.) Establish your connection using your login details provided by your web hosting service, then view your files side by side---the local (computer) files show on the left and the web server files show on the right side. Click the 'Transfer' arrows to move files from your computer to the web server side. This software works on Windows systems.
Transfer files to your web server using SmartFTP. SmartFTP is a paid FTP software option but you can start uploading web server files free for 30 days to get the hang of the tool (see Resources.) After logging in with your account details (username and password,) you'll view a series of windows that contain your computer files and web server, and preview windows that show you what you're about to transfer before taking any action. Upload files to your web server by dragging and dropping them to the window pane containing your remote web files, or schedule a recurring transfer to occur automatically if you wish. This option is compatible with Windows operating systems.

How to Create a Multipage Website

Decide what pages your website should actually have. Starting out with a plan will save plenty of time later. For example, a basic website might consist of three pages: a homepage, an 'About' page, and a photo gallery.
Open a text editor such as Notepad (in Windows) or TextEdit (on a Mac) and create a new file for each page you plan on including. When saving each file, make sure to save them with a '.html' extension, and name your homepage 'index.' So using the above example, you would create three pages: 'index.html,' 'about.html,' and 'gallery.html.'
Think of a domain name ('example.com') to name your site. Come up with something easy to remember, as brief as possible, and spelled correctly.
Sign up for a web hosting plan. Since this is a very basic site, you won't need to pay for anything fancy, and in fact you can get a hosting plan for free from sites such as FreeHostia (see Resources). When signing up, you'll be able to register your domain name, which should cost about $10 for a year.
Log into the hosting control panel that your web host provided you after you signed up. Inside, there should be a 'File Manager' section. Open it, and look for a folder either named 'public_html' or named after your domain. Upload all your HTML files inside it.
Open a new browser window and type in your domain name in the address bar. The page that's automatically displayed will be 'index.html,' and you can reach your other pages by going to example.com/about.html, example.com/gallery.html, and so on.Of course, unless you've added something to each page, they're blank. To actually fill your pages with content, you'll need to write some HTML code, which is the basic language of the web and very easy to learn (see Resources for free HTML tutorials).

How to Use Putty and SSH

Start the PuTTY program on your computer and wait for the main dialog box to appear on your screen.
Enter the host name of the server on which you host your website or shell account, placing it in the 'Host Name' box of the PuTTY dialog box on your screen. This information should have been given to you by the system administrator of the server on which your account is hosted. An example would be if your website address is http://www.myawesomesite.com. The actual host name of this address is 'myawesomesite.com' without the rest of the address components. This is what would be entered into the 'Host Name' block of the PuTTY dialog box.
Tell PuTTY what kind of data connection you desire for it to initiate when logging into the server. To do so, look at the section of the dialog box labeled 'Connection Types' and note that a multitude of buttons exist in this section including: telnet, rlogin, SSH, and raw. Click on the SSH button to prepare PuTTY for an SSH login to your server.
Look at the 'Port' block on the PuTTY dialog box and verify that the port number is set to 22. This is the default SSH port that all SSH servers listen on for incoming connections. This port number should never be changed unless the system administrator of your host server has informed you that the server listens on a different port. If a different port is used on your server, enter that port number into this port block now.
Begin the SSH connection process. Locate the button at the bottom of the PuTTY dialog box labeled 'Open' and click on it. Connection progress information will now be displayed in the main text area of PuTTY.
Verify the host SSH key and add it to your PuTTY terminal cache for future log-ins. A caution message will appear in the main terminal screen of Putty if it is the first time you have logged into an SSH session with the server. The message is a cautionary measure telling you the server fingerprint identification number. It will ask you if you want to trust the server and to have its key added to your PuTTY terminal program's cache. If you are uncertain, call your system administrator by phone and ask him to read you the server fingerprint number to verify it. Whether you made a call, or simply choose to accept it, enter 'Yes' at the prompt on the text screen to accept the key and to have it added to PuTTY. The verification step will now be complete.
Wait for the log-in prompt to appear. The first line of SSH servers when logging in will require your hosting account user name. Enter your user name on the first prompt line when asked for it, then press the 'Enter' or 'Return' key on your keyboard to send it. After sending your user name, the prompt will ask for your password. Enter the password for your hosting account and press the 'Enter' or 'Return' key to send it. If you entered both correctly, you will get a command prompt through which you may perform your system commands.
Log out of your SSH session when finished by typing either 'logout' or 'exit' (without the quotes) at the command prompt on the screen, then press 'Enter' or 'Return' on the keyboard to log out completely. Whether 'logout' or 'exit' is used depends on how the hosting server is set up. Try both if you are unsure. If the first one you try doesn't work, then the other will. If neither works for some reason, contact the administrator of your hosting account and ask what the logout command is for that server.

How to Organize a Home Business Expo (6 Steps)

Your very first step is to decide on the place you will hold the event in. To do this you'll need to be able to hold about 15 vendors and tables of at least 6 ft long. Consider your other factors- are you offering refreshments? Will you need a rest room? How long is the event?
Start contacting your vendors next. Go directly to a local rep and let them know you are showcasing home businesses that moms can do in the area and want them to be included. Hand out a form with all the information available about the event specifics including the vendors cost and what is being supplied in return.
Begin your advertising. Write your own press release if you can or call the paper and tell them what your doing. Make flyers and pass them around town. Consider giving them out at PTA events and other places that cater to women and mothers. Inform local radio and television stations.
Collect the payments paid by the vendors who sign up and keep a ledger of who has paid. Detail all of your expenses for room rental, advertising, food etc and pay yourself back as your payments come in. Always keep in mind that you may need cash for something unexpected.
Hang out your sign and have your business expo. You can enjoy meeting the women business owners in your own back yard and know that you've opened the door to new home businesses to your communities women.
Follow up your job fair by sending thank you cards and questionnaires. File everything away in a file for next year!
