How to build Your Technology Website
We will be using Weebly to build a webpages. These webpages can be viewed as your notebook. For every major activity that we do you have to create a new page to your site. The page we will build is your home page. This may seem intimidating but it is quite easy once you get started. For safety reasons you are not allowed to have any content that contains your last name, or any images of any student including yourself on your page.

Step 4 (Publishing your Site)
In order for your webpage to become live (actually on the web) you will have to Publish it. In the upper right hand corner of the Weebly website builder press the PUBLISH button. You will have to come up with a url. www.example.weebly.com. Note you do not have to type in the .weebly.com part of the url they will do that for you. Normally adding some numbers will free up some available website names. For example www.football.weebly.com may already be taken but www.football57.weebly.com may be available.
