Assignment: Research your platform/template

YOUR ASSIGNMENT FOR TUESDAY IS TO REVIEW THE OPTIONS FOR YOUR WEBSITE, LINKED BELOW, INVESTIGATE WHICH ROUTE WOULD MAKE THE MOST SENSE FOR YOUR SITE, AND CHOOSE YOUR HOSTING OPTION.

If you're building a site for that you're hosting yourself, there are many templates available here:

http://www.free-css-templates.com/

For more, google "free css templates"

For a hosted, customizable template solution, you can use:

http://www.weebly.com/

You sign up, enter a name for the site, and hosting with the "weebly" in the url is free (I set up a quick test site at:
http://sncwebclass.weebly.com)

For a hosted, customizable HTML5 solution, you can use:

http://www.wix.com/

Like weebly, this is free with "wix" in the URL; you have to pay something for a domain name without the "wix."

Here's a wix site a student made two years ago (with the flash option):

http://www.wix.com/andremacdrizzle/localknits

For a customizable template with social networking options, there's this (which, at it's cheapest level, costs about $20/yr):

http://www.ning.com/

If you're using a blog platform, here are some options:

blogger.com

You can add static pages to your blog with the "Pages" option in your blog editor.

Here are some wordpress links – wordpress can be easily integrated into your site with godaddy as a host:

http://wordpress.com/

Sites powered by wordpress.

The jetpack plugin for wordpress:
