Go to the link below and click on 'Free Trial.' After registering at the site, download Adobe DreamWeaver, a website design program for updating your website.
Download your website in html or htm format using the FTP server from your hosting company or the 'File Manager' feature of your hosting company. (For example, if your website is hosted at Globat.com, then go there, click on 'File Manager' and download 'index.html.')
Decide whether you are more comfortable working with a graphic visual interface or looking directly at the code. Click on the 'Design' button to see the website from a graphical perspective or on the 'Code' button to look at the html.
Update your website by adding the necessary new paragraphs or lines of code. If you are using the graphical view, click 'In Context Editing' to create a region where text can be edited. Clicking on the region again will cause a cursor to appear so you can edit the text directly on the webpage using the design interface.
Update your website in 'Code View' simply by finding the line where text needs to be added or changed, and replacing your old text with the new information.

How to Download an FTP SiteIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Secure server space to host your website and collect content you would like to be posted on your site. Now you are ready to transfer your files from your computer to the Web server space via FTP. Download Filezilla from the Web. Filezilla is a free FTP program which is downloaded onto your computer for use in connecting your computer files to your chosen server or Web host. The FTP upload of files to your website is often referred to as the 'back end' of Web design, as you are working 'behind the scenes', so to speak.
Once you have downloaded the Filezilla program, open it on your computer. Enter the required information for the transfer, including your website host's Web address, the port being used for the transfer, the server type, your Web address for the new site, and your account information -- including your password -- for the server. You may need to refer to your own records and/or make contact with your server for some of this information. Once you have entered this information into Filezilla, hit Enter, and it will connect you to the server which will host your site.

You will need the password for your server account when uploading files via FTP.
Once connected to your server's site via Filezilla, you will see your computer's files on the left side of the screen and the website files on the right side. Right-click a cursor over the file on the left you want to transfer, and then drag it over to the right side area of the screen where the server files are, then take your finger off the cursor. Name the file/page by entering the file or page name into the box that appears. Hit enter, and you now have a page visible to the public posted onto your website.

FTP transfers are done by dragging files with a mouse or cursor.
Name each page or file that you transfer via FTP with name patterns, lest you lose track of what is where within your Web directory shell. Too many files without organization makes an unmanageable site. I name all photo files in my website's directory with the prefix of 'photo' so I know it is a photo file. For instance, I would use photobeach.jpg instead of beach.jpg. Eventually, this will give you neat sections of your web directory with groupings such as photos, banners, videos and documents.

Photos are more managable in a website directory if labeled with a 'photo' prefix.

How to Disable Sites in Apache 2In Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Verify that the site is still enabled. From the Ubuntu Linux command line, issue the following commands:cd \etc\apache2\sites-enabledlsThe first command switches the working directory to the 'sites-enabled' sub-directory. The second command lists the files in the directory. If there is a file for the site you want to disable, continue with Step 2. If not, the site already is disabled.
Issue the following commands at the Ubuntu command prompt:cd (changes to your home directory)sudo a2dissite sitename (where 'sitename' is the name of the site you want to disable) This command removes 'sitename' from the /etc/apache2/sites-available sub-directory.
Verify that the site has been removed from the list of enabled sites with the following command:ls /etc/apache2/sites-enabledYour site should not appear in the sub-directory listing.
Restart the Apache 2 Web server with the following command:sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restartThis causes Apache 2 to stop listening for requests for the disabled site.
Start a browser session and attempt to navigate to the site. If your site is disabled, you should get a 'Not Found' message on a default error page.

How to Fix WinHTTP DLLIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Click the 'Start' button in Windows and expand the 'All Programs' folder. Click the 'Windows Update' link that appears in the first program column. This will launch Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Click the 'Express Install' button. Windows will begin searching for all important updates that you have yet to install, which will take a few minutes.
Click the 'Install Updates' button if Windows finds any important updates for your computer. The updates will begin downloading and installing immediately, but the process can take some time.
Reboot your computer when prompted to do so after the installation process concludes.
See if problems related to winhttp.dll still occur. If they do not, the updates likely fixed the problem, as updated versions of this file are included with most service pack updates for most versions of Windows. If you're still having problems, try the next section on restoring the last working version of winhttp.dll.
Restore the Last Working Version
Click the 'Start' button in Windows. Expand 'All Programs,' then 'Accessories' and then 'System Tools.' Click 'System Restore.'
Click the bubble next to 'Restore my computer to an earlier time' and then click the 'Next' button.
Select a restore point from the calendar by clicking on a bold date. If you just started experiencing problems suddenly, perhaps after installing conflicting software or getting a virus, choose a restore point from right before you started having problems. If you think the problem may have been there for some time, use the 'Back' button next to the calendar to scroll back to the earliest restore point. After you click a restore point, click the 'Next' button.
Read the restore details on the confirmation screen; then click the 'Next' or 'Finish' button. The computer will restore itself and reboot automatically, which may take several minutes.
Click 'OK' in the confirmation dialog box that appears after Windows starts up. See if you still have problems related to winhttp.dll. If you do, the best solution may be to replace the file manually. Find these instructions in the final section.
Replace Winhttp.dll Manually
Use your Web browser to navigate to a site where you can download winhttp.dll for free. You can find a link to a reliable download site in the Resources section.
Click the download link, save the file to your hard drive and open it. It will open in WinZip or your equivalent unzipping software. Unzip the winhttp.dll file to your desktop.
Double-click the 'My Computer' icon; then navigate to the system folder. If you're using Windows XP or Vista on a 64-bit system, this folder is at 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64.' If you're using either of those operating systems on a 32-bit system, the folder is at 'C:\Windows\System32.' In Windows NT and 2000, the folder is located at 'C:\WINNT\System32.' Finally, in Windows 95, 98 and Me, it's at 'C:\Windows\System.'
Drag the winhttp.dll file from the desktop into the system folder. If you see a prompt asking you whether or not you want to replace the existing file with the new one, click 'Yes.'
Restart Windows. Upon boot-up, Windows will register the new .dll file automatically, and you should be able to use Web- and network-related software normally.

How to Organize a Tournament ChecklistIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Brainstorm major tasks that need to be accomplished on and before tournament day. Examples include reserving event space, placing an ad for participants in a local newspaper, purchasing or arranging for prizes, preparing a registration list and collecting entry fees.
Place items in the order of when they need to be accomplished, starting from tournament day and working backward to today. Ask vendors how much time they need to deliver products to determine where to put ordering from those vendors on the time line.
Break the list down into days, weeks or months, depending on how much time you have before tournament day --- a checklist for a simple tournament two weeks away may have the same number of tasks as a major charity function that takes six months of planning, so knowing that certain tasks need to be done today, tomorrow, next Monday, etc. will help you accomplish tasks quickly.
Fotolia.com'>
Separating tasks by when they need to be accomplished will ensure you hit deadlines and keep you from focusing on later tasks at the expense of immediate ones.
Enter the list into a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet software isn't just for complex math equations --- the built-in grid is perfect for formatting a list and can help keep tabs on expenditures and entry fees.

Separate tasks based on the type of skill they require. For example, tracking entry fees or operating costs would fall under Money/Finance, registering a charity tournament as a 501(c)3 would fall under Legal and building goody bags and making signs for the event would fall under Crafts.
Enter items on the list into a spreadsheet organized by category.

Computerized spreadsheets offer built-in structure, helpful to organizing your checklist.
If you enlisted help planning your tournament, print the checklist by section and put people in charge of each section based on their skill sets.
