How to Get Healthy Skin?

If you want to have soft, clear skin, follow the steps below. If you're still having issues with your skin after doing so, see a doctor, the issue you face could be acne, allergies, or something more severe.

1. 1
   Decrease your sugar intake. Not to say cut sugar out of your diet, but try to cut back on "false" sugars, like in soda and in candy. Contrary to popular belief, chocolate isn't bad for you, it's all the added sugars that harm your skin. "Natural" sugars, like sugar cane sugar, aggravate the magnesium in your body, making it difficult for your body to keep itself healthy. From your skin all the way down to your blood cells, your body will thank you if you eat MORE fruit and less candy.
   
   

   
2. 2
   Get some sun. Recent studies have shown that Vitamin D prevents many types of cancer. Obviously too much sun is bad for you, just as too much of anything is bad for you, but in moderation the sun can be your best friend. In fact, depression has been linked to lack of Vitamin D.
   
   

   
3. 3
   Eat nuts and fish. Both create oils that are good for cleaning out the bad oils that come from both your environment and from that hamburger you ate last night. Specifically, almonds have the calcium and magnesium in them that your body needs to protect your skin from the harmful effects of your environment. Soy milk is pretty amazing for that as well. The omega-3's in Salmon alone help keep your hair shiny, you nails and teeth strong, and your skin clear.
   
   

   
4. 4
   Experiment with facial cleansers. Find what works for you and stick with it.However if you are prone to eczema you should not do this as your eczema will deteriorate.
   
   

   
5. 5
   Drink water, even when you're not thirsty. Thirst is not the first sign of dehydration, but it is a good way of knowing you're not getting enough to drink.
   
   

   
6. 6
   Don't over wash your face. Point blank, once a day should be good enough.
   
   

   
7. 7
   EXERCISE! Sweating helps your skin, and the strength you feel internally will start to show on your face. Make sure to wash after you exercise, even if it means wiping your face with a warm water in a wash cloth without any cleanser.
   
   

   
8. 8
   Stop using concealer. When you wash all that make-up off your face, you're also washing away all of your skin's defenses from bacteria that can clog your pores.
   
   

   
9. 9
   Look for sunflower seed oil in lotions for your body.
   
   

   
10. 10
    Keep your pillowcase clean and put your hair back at night. Your hair and pillow case can spread grease to your face. Wash your pillow case every 9 days and keep your hair clean.
11. 11
    Stress less or workout more. Your body has natural defenses against stress, and you need to flush it out of your body as if it were a toxin or it will become physically visible.
    
    

    
12. 12
    Finally, cut back on acidic fruits like oranges. Apples have just as much Vitamin C, without all the side effects oranges can bring. Acids from certain fruits have also been found to weaken your bones and muscles. Not to say oranges are bad for you, but as said before, too much of anything is never a good idea.

How to Register a Domain Name?

Registering your domain name is the first step in establishing your online presence and reaching visitors. We'll show you how to create and register your domain, avoid some of the pitfalls that can arise, and choose the best domain name to make sure that your site reaches the most people. Read below if you want to get on your way to a successful website!

Registering a Domain

Method 1: With a Hosting Service

1. 1
   Decide your preferred route. Your website will be made with a series of files, so you'll need a place to store those files. You can do it on your own computer (without a hosting service) or store them on another company's servers (with a hosting service). Most webhosting services will also be able to register a domain name for you. Choose which route you want to take and then follow the appropriate set of instructions.
2. 2
   Choose a hosting service. Choose a service to host your website, or go with the service that you already have (if you inherited a website). There are many reputable ones, and you will want to choose a reputable one, but they tend to have different customer service policies and prices. Choose what's best for you.

   • Reputable hosting services include Register.com, GoDaddy.com, and eNom.com.
   • The hosting services all work with the ICANN database, which is in charge of keeping track of all domain names, so they should all turn up the same information.
3. 3
   Use the availability checker. These sites will all have an availability checker, where you type in the domain name you want and they tell you if it's available or suggest alternatives if it isn't. Some will even tell you if there is a cheaper domain with a slightly different name.
4. 4
   Select other services. Once you've found an available domain name, you'll want to select it and follow the instructions for that particular service. When you select your domain name, you will also have the opportunity to add on other services that the host also provides. Choose what's best for you.
5. 5
   Fill out their forms. They will then ask for a bunch of information from you. This is necessary to register with the WHOIS database, where the owners of websites are required to list their information. This information can be made public or you can choose to keep in private (usually for an added fee).
6. 6
   Pay them. Websites aren't free! Enter your payment information and make sure it's correct. This is why it's a good idea to choose a reputable site: because they will have your payment information.
7. 7
   Use their tools. Once you're registered with them and everything is good to go, you can start using their tools to upload stuff to your site. You can also set up uploading through software programs like Firefox or Dreamweaver.

Method 2: Without a Hosting Service

1. 1
   Check with your ISP. Now, the trick with hosting your website on your own servers is that some ISPs (internet service providers) don't allow this. They will block the traffic. So, the first thing to do is check with your ISP to make sure this is allowed and if you need to do anything special. If they don't allow it, you'll have to either change ISPs or change your mind about hosting.
2. 2
   Choose a registrar. Choose either one of the major hosting services, or find a website that just does registration, like Domjax. You can simply register a domain name with most of the hosting companies; you don't have to also host with them. Just find a reputable and certified^[1] domain registrar.

   • Keep in mind that some hosts and registrars are only allow to register certain top-level domains (or TLDs), like .org and .xxx, and so on.
3. 3
   Get a server. You'll need a server to host your site on. You can repurpose an old computer or you can get a straight-up server...whichever suits your needs best. Just make sure that it can handle the needs of your website. If you think you're going to be getting a lot of traffic, you'll need a fast system. Your local computer store staff person should be able to advise you on the best option for your needs.
4. 4
   Get a static IP address. You'll need to set up your IP address to stay the same. Usually these change, but if yours changes people won't be able to get to your site! Think of the internet like a post office, and your IP address is like your address. It needs to stay the same if you want your mail to get to you!
5. 5
   Get the necessary software. You'll need software to run your server, so choose one that works for you and that you can learn to use. The most common is Apache.
6. 6
   Configure your router and firewall. Both your router and your firewall will need to be reconfigured to allow your website to work. Your router will need to correctly forward connections on port 80 and your firewall will need to allow the traffic to move through.^[2]
7. 7
   Route your domain traffic to your computer. Make sure that everything is correctly set up at that your domain traffic is sent to the correct location: your server! Test once you are done, both on your own computer and one at another location (like, another house) to make sure it works.
8. 8
   Recognize the security risk. You need to understand that running your own server poses a serious security risk, as it is much easier to hack, and you will need to take the appropriate security precautions. Pay constant attention to your website and make sure that there are no signs of a security breach.

Perfecting a Domain Name

1. 1
   Don't get stuck. Did you find out that the domain name you wanted was already taken? Are you wanting to be sure that your domain name is optimal for people to find your website? You'll want to practice a few simple steps to get the name just right, rather that getting stuck and giving up or taking a less than great name.
2. 2
   Keep it current. Choose a domain name that sounds current, and not like something out of the 90s or 00s. Avoid using numbers or letters for words (2, 4, U, etc), or other dated language.
3. 3
   Be professional. Choose a name that sounds professional and legitimate. Unless you want to be mistaken for a porn site or a scam, choose a name that sounds professional. For example, don't name your travel website Travel4U.biz and instead go with something like Qual

How to Get Free Website Templates?

Designing and building a website is often a task left to designers, programmers and high priced software systems. In this article we will show you that some of the best things on the web are truly free.

1. 1
   Determine Your Niche. This is usually the easiest part of starting the website template search process. If your business is Accounting, you might choose a business template. If you are an artist, then maybe an artist's template. Whatever you decide, it's best to begin right here.
2. 2
   Choose a Colour Scheme. Choosing your colour scheme is important as it will help brand your design to your hobby, product or service. If you are in health care, you might want to choose green as it is a "healthy" colour. Finding a good colour chart will certainly help and there are plenty online. If you have a logo for your business or your niche, what are the colours? It's best to stay within your colour scheme to make the site more palatable and congruent with your design.
3. 3
   Consider The Pages You Want To Build. We know there will be one main page, usually titled "Home" or "Main". But there are other pages that you may need such as, "About Us", "Who We Are", "Our Products" and "Contact Us". Writing down the names of these pages will help in your choice of template as some only include a single page while other may include a number of inner pages.
4. 4
   Think about what 'Your Copy' will be. Also known as "text"; your copy is what you have written about each page. Whether it's "About Us" or even a "Contact Us" page - each page needs its own "copy" to stand apart from the other pages. This will tie in to your Search Engine Optimization (SEO - more about this further down) of each page to aid search engines in locating your work to display for their users.
5. 5
   Start searching. You have all of your information ready and can now search for the perfect template... but what search terms do you use? A good suggestion would be "free web template". Or, if your business was accounting, you would search for "free business templates" or "free accounting template". Keeping the search to no more than three words is preferable. The search engine you use will bring up the best links for your search term - but lets not forget there are a few more pages - it's best to inspect them all. Some new websites that offer great new templates might not be on page one, so it's best to do some due diligence to find great work. As well, some of the sites that come up on the first page typically have older designs on them. In our example, we'll visit WebTemplex.com^[1] for free websites.
6. 6
   Use the new design. You have now found your design and have downloaded it to your computer. A suggestion would be to create a new folder to store the site in and to work from. You would hate to have the website and all the files sitting in your documents folder scattered around with other files. It's best to keep everything together. Once you have the site file downloaded it will probably be in a zip file. A zip file contains all of the documents, images and code all compressed in a tidy file. You will need an unzip utility such as Jzip or Winzip to "unzip" the file and extract the files to your new folder.
7. 7
   Unzip the Files. Quite simply you will double click on the file and the appropriate unzip software will load. This is based on your decision of unzip utility. It will open and show you the files it has within it. You can click on any number of files and drag them to your designated folder. They will instantly uncompress once placed. Remember to save this zip file in a safe place in case you need to get an image or other file from it.
8. 8
   Start building the site. Files Unzipped - Now Let's Build - for some, this scares people. You can't really hurt or "mess up" a website. In fact, everything you do only enhances it from this point. The files you will be editing will normally have the following file extensions: .html, .htm, .php, .shtml. For simpler sake, let's believe you are using an .html file. You will need something to edit the files with. By editing we mean that you will be entering your "copy", phone numbers, address - etc - on to the page. You can use Windows Notepad to edit the file and it really does a simple job - although the backend may look scary... if you read through the lines while looking at an image of the site you can start to get a feel for what each line means. Especially when you see text placement. There are other commercial HTML Editors on the market and they all do pretty much the same job as Notepad, just a tad more expensive.
9. 9
   Edit Your Pages. As stated in Step 8 above, you'll open the file in Notepad by first starting the Notepad programme. You'll then click on "File", and then "Open" and browse for the first file to edit. The very first file you will edit will be index.html. So, with the file open in Notepad, you will take your copy, or other info and place it into the blocks provided or where other text resides. The other text on a template site may seem like a strange language, "lorem ipsum..." this is simply garble language used on most templates. Finding the location of the spot to add your text, simply type in what you want it to say and save the file. You can always click on the .html file and your browser will open showing you what it looks like after you made any changes. If when you open your file it appears distorted, simply go back and undo the changes - this is a great learning experience!
10. 10
    Do some Search Engine Optimization (SEO). While you are writing your copy into your files keep in mind that the copy must be different than the copy of the other pages. If all pages had the same copy on them, your site would not garner the attention it would normally get. Each page must stand alone like it was its own website. You'll also use what are called "Keywords" within your writing to describe the page as it matches the text. For instance, this page could use the keywords, "website template". If your business was accounting then you would certainly add in the keywords, "accounting", finances", "taxes" etc.
11. 11
    Upload the files. Once you have all of the files the way you want them it's time to upload them to your host. This is often referred to as FTP'ing, or uploading. This is the process of taking all of the images and files and uploading them to your host. You will simply start your FTP programme and sign in to your web hosting account. Most FTP software allows you to transfer files much like transferring files in windows; where you select a file and drag and drop it into another folder. This new folder is actually the server where your domain is being hosted.
12. 12
    Check Your Work - Once the website is uploaded, check each page to make sure you are not missing an image or that text is misspelled or missing.

How to Make Your Website Popular?

It seems like everyone has a website nowadays, so finding ways to stand out from the crowd is indispensable! To make a popular website, use these helpful suggestions regarding content, design, and search-engine optimization.

Have Great Content

1. 1
   Choose a topic you know a great deal about. Even if it means taking a risk, focus on something that you feel passionate about. In fact, the internet is a great place for niche content precisely because your potential audience is global, not local; this increases your odds of connecting with people who want what you have to offer. Only by making the site specific to you and your experience will you be able to offer something that no one else can.
2. 2
   Front-load the site. Whether you’re selling merchandise, providing instruction, or blogging for fun, don’t make the mistake of taking your site online before it has a sufficient amount of content. Even if your initial content is stellar, visitors who don’t have any reason to stick around aren’t likely to come back later or recommend your site to their friends.
3. 3
   Emphasize quality over quantity. One of the disadvantages of the internet is that it is jam-packed with distractions and encourages superficial reading. If your site is nothing but fluff, people will skim it quickly and move on to something else. On top of that, because the internet feels anonymous, people are quick to pounce on inaccuracies, typos, and bugs – which can sink your site and kill your morale. Be sure to pack your site with content people cannot find anywhere else, even if it means you have less of it.
4. 4
   Add to your site routinely. Though you should have a nice chunk of content available when you first go online, don’t use up everything you’ve got at once or your followers will get tired of waiting and move on. Ideally, you should prepare startup content, have a small reserve of additional content that you release on a schedule (ex. every Thursday), and be ready to routinely create new content once you have gotten into the swing of things.
   
   

   • You should never consider your website “complete”; if you want it to survive, treat it like a "living" document that will change over time.
   • Consider creating a web feed (RSS, Atom, etc.) so users can subscribe for updates.

Use a Smart Design

1. 1
   Make the site easy on the eyes. Even if your site is text-heavy, it should be visually appealing to keep people from making snap judgments about the quality. If you don’t have much design sense, have an artistic friend give it the once over, ask an older relative whether or not they find the site easy to navigate, or even consider hiring a designer to work on the overall composition.
2. 2
   Keep it simple. Streamline every page so that people don’t get disoriented or frustrated. Avoid using elaborate fonts, numerous colors, or unnecessary graphics that slow down the page-load time (or make people think they’re looking at an over-enthusiastic PowerPoint presentation).
3. 3
   Keep a consistent theme. Use the same banner at the top (and bottom, if applicable) of every page so that people can navigate your site with ease. Tie all your pages together with a color scheme so that people don’t think they’ve been mysteriously transported somewhere else with every click. Be consistent in your font usage by sticking with no more than three fonts, making section all headers the same size, all subsection headers a different size, etc.
4. 4
   Embrace white space. If you’re afraid that leaving white space will drive visitors away, just look at any Google page. White space helps a page look clean and uncluttered, to say nothing of the fact that it makes navigation much easier.
5. 5
   Use short paragraphs. Nobody wants to battle a wall of text.

Optimize Your Site for Search Engines

1. 1
   Use keywords. Keywords capitalize on internet trends, draw visitors, and make your page likelier to come up in searches. Good places to include keywords include the headings, URLs (multiple words should be separated by dashes, ex. “Make-Your-Website-Popular”), and meta-tags.
   
   

   • Use tags and keywords accurately. If search engines detect that you are trying to manipulate your site ranking by using tags and keywords where they don’t actually apply, it will negatively affect your performance. (It won’t go over well with your visitors particularly well, either.)
2. 2
   Build incoming links. The old-fashioned way to do this is by link-swapping – that is, offering to link to someone else if they’ll link to you. Though this can still be very useful when two sites have a good reason to be linked, another approach is to post articles on other sites that link back to yours. These articles need to be informative, engaging, and high-quality. Above all else, they should not look spammy with links that stick out like sore thumbs.
   
   

   • If you are a decent writer, you can do these yourself, but otherwise it may be worth your while to hire someone else to do them. Guest blogs, for example, are a good way to do this.
3. 3
   Keep your content updated. In addition to making visitors likelier to come back for more, this lets search engines know your page hasn’t been abandoned or rendered irrelevant.
4. 4
   Use a great domain name. If your domain name is overcomplicated, hard to spell, or obscure, it won’t attract the readership you deserve. Of course, the best domain names come at a steep price, so you will have to strike a balance between your desired domain-name performance and your budget. Read this for more tips on choosing and buying a cheap domain name.
