Think about the message you want to present before you begin. Think about the content you want to include and where it will come from. You might be writing your own articles and using your own pictures. If you are designing a website for your business, you'll need to decide how you're going to take payment for your product or service. Take a look at the websites you like and don't like. Decide why these websites are enjoyable or what about them frustrates you. Design your website accordingly.
Building Your Website
There are several options for building your website. You don't need expensive web design software or a lot of HTML knowledge. You can find a free WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) web design program that works like a word processor. These programs allow you to insert your text and graphics, while the program generates the HTML code for you. CoffeeCup is a free HTML editor. Adobe's Dreamweaver is a good choice for complex web design made easy, but the software can be an expensive option for beginners.If you will be posting photos and graphics to your website, photo editing software is something else you want to consider. You can use a program like Picasa, XnView or Photofiltre (see resources). These are graphic editing tools you can use to prepare your images for the web. They each have extensive editing features and are reliable programs.
Web Hosting Services
Another option for putting together a website easily is to sign up for a free hosting account (see resources). These web hosts not only allow you to display your web pages on the Internet free of charge, they feature built-in tools that make it easy for you to design and build your website. When you use web tools built in to your web hosting service, you don't need to worry about additional software to upload your pages. Your changes are saved and displayed immediately.Many paid web hosting services offer a wider range of web tools to help you design your website easily, as well as shopping carts for e-commerce. These features are included in the package price, along with free domain name registration. Startlogic is a reliable company with a long track record and an extensive, easy-to-use design tool set.For users who want to do business from their websites, Paypal is the easiest way. With a business account at Paypal, you can generate HTML code for your website that will add 'Buy It Now' buttons to the products or services you feature on your website. A Paypal account is free and easy to set up.
Blogs
A blog, which is a shortened version of the term web log, is an alternative you can use to create a website. Blog sites are typically free and easy to set up. Rather than use traditional website structures, blogs are usually column based and primarily text. You can use graphics on blog sites, but the primary goal of a blog is to allow users to make a 'log' of the events going on in their lives, their personal opinions, or to promote a business or service. WordPress and Blogger are two reliable blog sites. The tools offered by these blog sites are simple to use and free of charge.

How to Enable CURL on Go DaddyIn Feburary 2016 19,
In Feburary 2016 19,
Type the IP number of your GoDaddy VPS or dedicated server followed by a (:) and the number '2087' into your browser window to access your cPanel. For example, if your server IP number is 195.195.255.255, type '195.195.255.255:2087.' Wait a few seconds for your cPanel login page to appear. If you receive a security error message, click the prompt that allows you to disregard the error and proceed to your cPanel homepage.
Enter your cPanel root user name and your password in the appropriate fields in the login box. Click the 'Login' button at the bottom of the box. Wait a few seconds for the cPanel home page to appear.
Type the word 'easy' into the 'Find' box at top of the left sidebar of your cPanel home page and click the 'x' in the square next to the box. Click 'Easy Apache (software update)' in the search results that you see.
Wait a moment or so for the Apache profile screen to appear. Make sure that the radio button for 'Previously Saved Config' is selected by default unless you wish to make other changes to your PHP configuration. Additional changes are not recommended unless you are experiencing problems with your hosted sites.
Click the 'Start customizing based on profile' box, which is furthest to the right at the bottom of the 'Profile' page.
Click the 'Next step' box at the bottom of the 'Apache version' page as soon as it appears. Do not change anything on this page.
Click the 'Next step' box at the bottom of the 'PHP major version' screen as soon as it appears without making any changes.
Click the 'Next step' box at the bottom of the 'PHP minor version' screen when it appears. Do not make any changes to this page.
Scroll down to the bottom of the 'Short options list' as soon as it appears. Click the 'Exhaustive options list' at the bottom right of the 'Short options list' page.
Scroll down on the 'Exhaustive options list' page until you see an entry for 'cURL,' which is preceded by a check box; check the check box. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the 'Save and build' box at the bottom right.
Click the 'Yes' button in the 'Confirm action' box when it appears in the center of your screen and then click 'I understand' in the confirmation box.
Wait until you see the green 'Build Complete!' message at the top of your browser screen above the log of the changes you've made to your server. This can take an hour or more, depending upon how much data is stored on your server. Do not interrupt the process or you will lose valuable data.
Click 'Home' in the left corner of the screen to return to the cPanel home page, if you wish to carry out other maintenance tasks. Exit cPanel by closing the browser window.

Java GUI Design TutorialIn Feburary 2016 17,
In Feburary 2016 17,
The Java JDK (Java Development Kit) includes the Java virtual machine, the Java compiler and a wide range of useful libraries (or 'packages,' in Java parlance) including AWT and Swing. The place to go for the latest Java is The Source for Java Developers (see link in Resources). On the right-hand column you will see Popular Downloads, click 'Java SE' to bring up a new page. Look for the JDK that comes with NetBeans (see link in Resources). Download and install.
Using NetBeans to Make Your First GUI
With NetBeans IDE and the Java SDK installed, building the first GUI is easy. NetBeans IDE will display a start page that includes links to tutorials on the NetBeans IDE and Java. This example creates a simple application to say, 'One World!' At the top left of the NetBeans IDE, click File > New Project. A New Project dialog box appears. Under Categories, click 'Java.' Under Projects, click Java Desktop Application > Next. A new screen comes up with the 'Project Name' and 'DesktopApplication1' highlighted. Change 'DesktopApplication1' to 'OneWorld!' Click 'Finish.' The dialog box will disappear. NetBeans IDE will reorganize itself into three tabbed windows--one labeled 'Projects,' a middle one showing a Design layout for a simple GUI and the third labeled 'Palette,' which shows different Containers and Controls. Under Palette > Swing Controls > Label. Grab and pull it into the middle display, in the middle part of the gray GUI space. The Label will become surrounded by some smaller drag handles (for resizing) and some thin gray-blue guidelines and in the middle, the text will read 'jLabel1.' Double click 'jLabel1,' and type 'One World!' Press the 'F6' key to run the program. You have built your first Java GUI.
Next Steps
To learn more, follow the tutorials for Java available with the NetBeans IDE. Begin with a detailed tutorial to help you deepen your knowledge and expertise in Java (see link in Resources).
