1.  I did a search on Dogpile for free web hosting. 

 

2.  After exploring several options, I decided to build my web site on Tripod.com.  This provided me enough space to do so, and it did not require any additional software.  Tripod.com has a web site builder that is web based and very easy to navigate.

 

3.  I filled out the information asked for under tripod's free website option.

 

4.  I chose a website name and designated a password.  I used a web based e-mail account for a point of contact so that I did not have to worry about updating it as often as I change duty stations.

 

5.  Tripod sent me an e-mail that outlined the website creation process within a few minutes.

 

6.  I used the web site building tools, selected a template, and entered the information that I wanted to post. The opening page was https://rhonwen1963.tripod.com/amyrburtonspage/index.html, and subsequent pages were named according to their subject matter.

 

7.  I chose a few photos that I had on my computer to upload.  Tripod has tools that allow you to select from files either on your hard drive or from their library. 

 

8.  After I felt comfortable with the content of the web page, I used the navigation buttons on the bottom of the web building page, and after previewing the page, I published it to the web.

 

9.  I then went to the file manager (also part of the tripod.com web page building tools) and I saved a copy of my web page to my hard drive.
