Build your website using pen and paper. Think about what pages you will want your fantasy website to have, including a message board, if you like. Draw a rectangle for the home page (where visitors first arrive) and draw subsequent rectangles to represent the other pages, such as 'about us' or 'contact us' or 'links.'
Design your primary navigation method. Will your visitors get from the home page to the other pages just by clicking on text links, or will you use images? Figure out the two basic states for these images: what they look like when they're just sitting there (the off state) and what they look like when someone puts their mouse cursor over them (the over state). Does it change?
Draw out on pen and paper how each page will look. What text do you plan to have on each page, and where will it be? Left aligned? Centered? Will you use headers and images? What about the background?
Get your Space on the Web
Select a domain for your website. That's the www.WhateverYouWant.com or .net or .org or whatever. You can pick your name, but it must be unique among every other domain name in existence. Purchasing it from a place like GoDaddy.com or NetworkSolutions.com should cost around $10 per year.
Having purchased your domain name, it's like you've bought land but have no house to put your stuff (your website) in. You now need to buy a hosting package--the house to put on your land. There are literally hundreds of places that offer hosting packages on the web, such as Jiffynet.net, hostmonster.com, bluehost.com, or even GoDaddy, if that's where you got your domain. Again, prices will vary but it is possible to get a great package deal from some hosting providers for as little as $6 per month.
An alternative to doing Steps 1 and 2 separately is buying your domain name and hosting account together at the same place and perhaps receiving a package deal.
If you buy your hosting package separate from your domain name, you will need to log in where you bought your domain name and change the nameservers to your hosting company's nameservers. Your hosting company will send you information on how to accomplish this.
Wait for propagation to take place. When you buy a new domain and hosting, it can take up to 48 hours for the World Wide Web to realize that you are now there and have your space. That means that for a while, you may type in www.YourNewDomain.com and get nothing. Or perhaps you get nothing, but you call your friend and he can see it fine. Give it a couple of days, during which time you can involve yourself in the next steps.
Build and Upload Your Web Pages
You've got your design. You've got your space. You can start building using either your vast HTML knowledge to hand-code the page from scratch or a WYSIWYG editor like Adobe DreamWeaver or a free editor like CoffeeCup http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor/.
Use your program to arrange your first page (and only your first page) just the way you like it. If you want to include images, you can download them from free image sites on the Internet or use programs like PhotoShop to create your own. Save those image files in your site folder and import them where they belong.
If you want to have a discussion board attached to your site, you can either buy one or use one of the many free ones available on the Internet, such as Pro Boards http://www.proboards.com/. Set up the page on your domain by following the instructions on the site from which you get it.
Test your site by uploading your main page to see how it looks on the screen. Make sure your fantasy elements are aligned just the way you like them. Test the link to the navigation board and make sure it is working properly.
Once your home page meets your approval, create the other pages for your site to fill it out. When you are done, advertise your site far and wide using social media like Facebook and Google to tell the world you have arrived.

How to Install a Music Player on Web PageIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Open your web site project using a web page editing application. You can use any type of web design application that will allow you to directly edit the HTML code of the page. WYSIWYG editors such as Apple iWeb and Microsoft FrontPage will work, as well as more advanced programs like Adobe Dreamweaver.
Determine where you would like to put the music player. You can put a player on each page of your website or you can allow users to open the player in a new window so that the music does not stop when users navigate from one page to another.
Embed the HTML code of your favorite free music player on your website by copying it from the source code or documentation. Free Flash music players include the XSPF Web Music Player, Zanorg Radio, and MixPod. The code for these players can be found on each one's official website. Some of the free music players will require that you download and install software that is used to run the music player.
Upload the MP3 files that you wish to include on the playlist of your music player to your website. You must upload these files to your website's database and copy the address of each file to be included in the code of the music player.
Adjust settings for automatic playback of songs, appearance and download capabilities by editing the HTML code. Save your web project, upload it to your web server and test the player.

How to Estimate a Spaghetti Dinner FundraiserIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Set a fundraising goal. Whether the event is for charity or to raise money for new team uniforms, you need to have an idea of your fundraising objective. Set a realistic, achievable goal. Make sure that the goal is flexible because you might have to amend the number once you figure out how much supplies cost.
Select a venue. To maximize profits, try to pick a place that is free of charge. Check with your local church or school to see if you can use a spare room or cafeteria. If it's a small fundraiser, you can possibly use someone's house. For venues that charge, ask when payment is due. If you have to put down a nonrefundable deposit to secure the space, you must be comfortable taking a financial risk in the event you do not sell enough tickets.
Estimate attendance. Once your venue is chosen, you will have a clearer picture of how many tickets you can sell. Figure out how many people can comfortably sit and eat in the space. Do not plan on overbooking to make extra money.
Price supplies. For the menu, plan on serving a simple salad, garlic bread and spaghetti with or without meat. For the pasta, plan on the typical serving of 4 oz. per person, or 1 lb. per four people. One jar of sauce is generally needed for every pound of pasta. Plan on 1 cup of salad and two slices of bread per person. For drinks, you can serve water, iced tea or soda. To be safe, plan on everyone drinking at least two servings, or 16 oz.
Calculate cost. Once you have priced how much it will cost to feed your estimated number of guests, add any applicable venue fees. Add this total cost to your fundraising goal and then divide by the number of guests. This will be your ticket price. If the ticket price seems unreasonably high, then you can buy cheaper brands of food, select another venue or amend your goal.

How to Emcee a Talent ShowIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Do your preparation. If there are announcements to be made before the show, familiarize yourself with the list so that you can briefly reel them off before the show instead of reading and sounding like a robot. If you don't know the acts, ask them to give you a maximum of three things that you can use for their introductions. Find out if they'll allow you to spice up the intros with funny anecdotes they might reveal about themselves. Be sure you know the proper pronunciation of the act names and that your own material is memorized so that you can really sell it and keep the energy up.
Take a cue from Hugh Jackman at the Oscars and open the show with your own showstopping number. If you are sure your number will be fantastic then go for it! This will set a positive tone for the night and put the audience in a fabulous mood, making them more receptive to the rest of the acts,
Segue from the thunderous applause of your opening number to the introduction of your first act. If you are naturally funny then be funny, if no--no worries, just be yourself. Things are bound to come up that are funny anyway. Try to personalize your jokes without insulting anyone. This will ensure that those in the crowd who know the performers will feel included and will enhance their enjoyment of the show because they will feel 'in on' the joke.
Be prepared to fill time. A performer may not make a costume change, or simply get stage fright. In any case, use the time to interact with the audience. Knowing the crowd will help. If all else fails, ask if anyone is celebrating an anniversary. Congratulate the couple, and segue into finding the couple who has been married the longest. Ask them for advice, or make your own jokes about marriage. You can also use these bits if a performer has frozen on stage.
Seize opportunities for humor. Every live show inadvertently has unexpected moments, most of which can be used for improvised jokes if you pay attention. A baby in the audience that will not stop crying, or an extremely loud ambulance heard echoing throughout the theater, even an audience member getting up to use the bathroom while you are emceeing are all gifts. Use them for fodder and stay alert!
Have fun and stay calm. Breathe and just remember if you are having fun, the audience will be having fun. Your mood will be contagious. Remember too that when things go wrong, they are not really going wrong, they are providing you with funny material! With that mindset you should have no worries. Keep loose!
