If you are a complete newbie to the world of website design and management, then you’ve come to the right place for some clear and concise instructions on how to build and manage your own space on the Internet.

I created this "how to" section under the assumption that the reader has zero prior knowledge of how to start the website construction process, and no experience whatsoever with basic website development languages such as html and java script.

Although I currently manage accounts through three different website hosting companies, for the sake of keeping things as simple as possible I am going to refer to only one domain registrant/hosting company for this entire lesson -- that being Yahoo. This way you will be able to follow a specific set of step-by-step instructions complete with screenshots for each phase. I actually recommend Yahoo to all newbies as this company features a very user-friendly format and offers many other perks with even its most basic website hosting packages.

With that being said, here's the first basic step you need to take to establish a Website through Yahoo...

Just as the heading of this page indicates, Get a FREE email box at www.Yahoo.com.  If you already have a Yahoo email box, you can skip to STEP TWO. You will need this FREE e-mail account before you can move on with all other steps in this "how to" lesson. (This probably goes without saying, but make sure to write down the email user name and password you establish with Yahoo and keep it in a safe and handy place.) You can CLICK HERE to set up that FREE Yahoo e-mail account.

Once you have your FREE Yahoo e-mail account established, you can access your inbox anytime through Yahoo's home page. Just click on the "MAIL" link and it will take you to the login page.  The "e-mail" link you will be looking for when you visit Yahoo's home page is in the upper right corner and has an envelope graphic, as illustrated in the screenshot below.

Have you got your FREE Yahoo email account set up now?

Great! Then you've taken the very first step toward being your own Webmaster!
