How to Make a Free Website With a Free Domain Name


Visit various websites offering free domain names and website design help. Compare the various sites for your needs; many of the free sites offer varying amounts of storage space and all have different design platforms. See Resources.
Choose your domain name. Have several options in mind as the one you want may already be taken.
Register your domain name with the site, and complete all required registration for your web page.
Choose a template and design platform for your website. Your web hosting site will provide you with a variation of designs, colors and themes to choose from. You will not need web design experience for this. Many of the templates are simple to navigate, and you will be able to add text, photos and video easily to the site.
Add all of the text, information, photos and videos you want to your web page. Continue to update it regularly.

How to Start a Gourmet Dinner Party Catering Service


Create a business plan. Business plans serve as a road map for your endeavor. Include in your business plan an overview of your company, profit expectations, and marketing plans. The U.S. Small Business Administration is an excellent resource for developing a complete and accurate business plan.
Consider your credentials. Although it's not necessary to have a degree in a food- or pastry-related field, it's important to understand proper food storage, preparation, and handling procedures. Consider taking classes from a local community college or cooking school to fill the gaps in your knowledge.
Register your business. You must register your business name with your state's Secretary of State office. The Internal Revenue Service can give you an Employer Identification Number for tax purposes. Check with your local health department for proper licensing requirements. Although catering services can be operated out of your home, you are responsible for producing food in a safe environment.
Purchase all necessary equipment. If you're operating out of your home, you may only need to buy a delivery van or extra storage space. If you're working out of a commercial location, you may need to buy ovens, pans, and other cooking utensils. Gourmet catering services also need to consider purchasing or renting linens and decor items.
Market your gourmet dinner party catering service. Network with florists, bakeries, and party-rental businesses by giving them a sample menu and maybe even some bite-sized treats to pique interest. Tell your family and friends about your new venture and consider hosting a gourmet dinner party once a month to help get the word out and bring in new clients.

How to Post Pictures to Discussion Boards Using HTML


Obtain a hosting service to store your picture file on the Internet. If you have a website, you can usually host pictures on it. If not, sign up with a picture hosting service, such as Photobucket. Photobucket is free, user-friendly and provdes a lot of storage for your pictures.
Save your picture file as a 'jpg.' This is the most commonly-accepted picture file format.
Upload the picture to your website or the hosting service. This process varies from site to site, but there is usually a clear link or button to upload images.
Obtain the URL for the picture. You can get this by right-clicking on the picture and clicking on Properties. The URL will be listed. On hosting sites like Photobucket, the URL will often be given with the picture. Photobucket gives the HTML code along with the URL that you can copy and paste directly into the post on the discussion board.
Open a new post on the discussion board. If your hosting service gave you the HTML code with the URL, simply paste that into the post and that is all you need to do. If not, type [ I m g ] into the new post text box with no spaces between them, then the complete picture URL, including the 'http://,' and then [ / I m g ] with no spaces.
Finish your post and submit it. Your picture should appear. If a red 'x' or something similar shows up instead, make sure there are no spaces in the coding or picture URL and that you have the complete, correct URL.
