Uploading Your Site

• Free hosting options:– awardspace.com—requires your name and

address, so ask your parents first – Webs.com – 7 day delay on using their FTP feature– Tripod.com

Google and ask your friends for recommendations!

Look for FTP access

Working with a hosting site

• Most offer FTP over a web browser

• Look for File Manager or Upload Files options

• Paid hosting – May have to setup a FTP account– Login, password, and usually your domain name– Then you can use a FTP program like Filezilla or

WS_FTP, etc.

Group Activity

Same Groups as yesterday!

Each group uses ONE computer.

One presenter, one computer. No other computers in use!

Your Assignment…

• Take turns presenting your site to the group– What pages did you create– Why did you chose the color scheme you did? – Why does your navigation structure work for you? – What other pages do you need to create?

• Offer constructive criticism of the site– Can you find what you are looking for? – Can you read it well? – Do you have any questions not answered on site?

• When your group is done, work on your site.
