How to Add Downloads to a WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 26,

In Feburary 2016 26,
Get the file that you want to make downloadable. You must have the file yourself and have the rights to distribute it.
Upload the file from your computer to your website host. You can upload the file by using FTP software or by using website design software that has uploading capability built into its functionality.
Compress the file to make it smaller to download. This is only necessary if the file is large. You can use a program like Winzip to compress the file and make it downloadable as a smaller zip file.
Link to the file so others can download it. Add a line of HTMLcode that points to the file you uploaded and choose the words you want to link to the file. The code will be something like this: Click here</a'>http://mysite.com/folder/download.exe'>here</a> to download this file. The word 'here' will be a link, and when someone clicks on it, the file will be able to be downloaded.

How to Edit Your WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 06,

In Feburary 2016 06,
If your website is content driven, it may be based in a CMS such as WordPress or Joomla. If you are unsure of this, ask the person who designed your website. To initiate changes to content on a CMS-based website, you log in to your site's administrative panel. The administrative panel offers buttons for various types of content management. After you log in, you can add, delete or edit posts and articles on your site. You can also use a CMS to change some of the other parameters of your site. For example, if your site uses WordPress, you can install a different theme to change the layout of the site, and you can install plugins to change some aspects of your site's functionality.
Changing the Content and Functionality of Your Website
If you need to edit the structure or content of your website and your site does not use a CMS, you must edit the actual files on your site. Use caution if you are implementing HTML, PHP or JavaScript for the first time. If you are not confident in your Web-development skills, the changes you make directly to code could impair the functionality of your website. In such a case, a WYSIWYG editor can be useful. WYSIWYG editors display the changes to your website as you make them, and you drag elements around rather than alter the page code in a text editor.
Changing the Visual Style of Your Website
Most of the visual flair of your website is contained in one or more Cascading Style Sheets files. These files tell the HTML of your site where to position certain elements, how to color the background and what font to use. By editing the CSS files, you change the stylistic aspects of a page. If you rename a CSS file, you must make sure that the applicable HTML files link to the renamed version of the file. This link is in the HTML document's
section. With a WYSIWYG editor, you can confidently make these changes if you are not comfortable making them to your site's code.
Uploading Files to Your Website
After you make changes to your site's code, upload the files to your hosting server for the changes to take effect. If the changes are minor, you may want to download a copy of the file onto your local computer, edit that and then return it to the server. For example, if you want to change one line in your website's index.html file, download it from the server first to make sure that you are modifying the most current version of the file. After you make the changes, upload the file to the server, making sure to overwrite the old one. You accomplish these transfers using a File Transfer Protocol client. An FTP client connects your computer to a remote server for the exchange of files.
