How to Create a Quick and Dirty Free Basic Website

1. Create your “website” as a document in your favorite word processor.

2. Save that page as a HTML document named index.html .

3. Create an account on GitHub

4. Create a new GitHub Pages repository

5. Upload index.html to your repository, keeping the default master branch.

6. (Optional) Use a URL shortener such as bit.ly to create a slightly better looking URL to your page. Without this, the URL to your page will be http://yourgithubusername.github.io/ Alternatively name your file something-else.html for it to appear at http://yourgithubusername.github.io/something-else.html

Note that images will probably be saved next to but not embedded in your HTML file, so they will need to be uploaded additionally.
