Go to the OpenOffice website (see Resources) and download the OpenOffice program. This is an office suite that is free to use.
Open the file you downloaded, and follow the onscreen directions to install the software. Launch the OpenOffice software from the 'Start' menu, and select 'Text Document' option.
Prepare your cover page. Whether you choose a minimalist design, little more than your identifying information and proposal title or a more graphic backdrop is a matter of personal taste. Copy and paste any graphics you will be using, and write out your name, organization and a placeholder for your proposal title where you wish them to appear.
Format the text on your title page with the appropriate font, text size and styling for each line.
Prepare the format for proposal's abstract, or summary, on the next page. This will be the condensed version of your longer proposal. If you plan to include running graphical motifs in your page designs, add those now. Create the layout and formatting for the summary title and the summary itself.
Set the fonts, formatting and styling you will want to use for the main body of your proposals on the third page. This way, when you open your template to write your proposal, your fonts and size will be preprepared.
Click on the 'File' menu, then click on 'Save As.' Write in the title of your proposal template, navigate to the folder in which you want to store the template, and select 'Text Document Template' as the file type. Click save.

How to Decorate a Web PageIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Sign up for a web-hosting package. Sign in to the back end of the website using your assigned username and password.
Open the list of available templates. Select a template with a large amount of white space. 'White space gives a sense of spaciousness and overall neatness to a site,' recommends Entheos Designs.
Select a font style. Fonts are a classic way to enhance your web design. However, remember that the purpose of text on a website is for users to read. Attractive web fonts are available on most computers and work best in dark colors such as black, navy or dark gray. An exception to this rule is with the creation of website headers and menu bars.
Create attractive headers for your website menus. Use basic shapes such as a rectangle or circle to add to the top of your web page. Choose a bold color that matches closely with your logo colors. If you are unable to find close matches in the template, choose a neutral color such as gray or black that complements your logo to avoid the clash of mismatched colors.
Add accents. Consider the products or services your company provides and choose three to four corresponding icons or graphics to separate various sections of your website. Find free icons or graphics from sites such as Freeiconsweb.com or Websitetips.com. Download the graphic, then upload it into your template by clicking the option to insert a photo.
Add photos, but sparingly. Photos work well as the main header of a website or in the center of the main page, when you select a meaningful photo. Enlarge photos on your main page so they are no smaller than the size of the text blocks used in your template.
Preview your web design. If an area seems cluttered, go back and remove an item. Choose 'Publish to web' once you have made the appropriate updates.

How to Create Host a WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Start with a pen and paper and sketch out a site map. The map should begin with the website's home page and branch out from there. It is similar in structure to an organization chart that shows the hierarchy of a corporation. The home page is the CEO and the other pages on the site are employees.
Still using pen and paper, sketch out what the web pages will look like. Decide what elements, such as text, images and video need to be on the pages and where each element will go.
Gather the images, text, video and other elements to be placed on the page together in one place in one folder.
Choose web design software. Adobe Dreamweaver is the industry standard for professional web page design, but there are many free or inexpensive web design programs, such as NVU Open Source Web Builder and WYSIWYG Web Builder Five, which can be downloaded at no cost. These programs are fine for building personal websites.
Working from the initial sketch, lay out the web pages that comprise the site using the web design software. Start with the home page of the site, which must be named 'Index.html.' Other pages on the site can have any name the creator wants.
Using the site map as a guide, make sure the pages of the site are linked together so that users can get from one page to another.
Preview the site in multiple web browsers. The site should appear as it looks when viewed with the web design software. If any page does not look the same in a browser as it does when viewed with the web design software, edit the page until the problem is solved.
Hosting a Website
Register a domain name at Register.com or a similar service.
Decide what kind of web hosting package is needed. Prices range from around seven dollars a month for basic service to thirty dollars a month for multiple website hosting with unlimited storage.
Purchase a hosting package.
Follow the instructions provided by the hosting company to move the completed website to the host servers.

How to Find The Best Free Web HostingIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Determine the type of website you want to create. Examples of personal websites include blogs, personal homepages, portfolios, or resume sites. If you want an e-commerce site for your business, however, you should really opt for a paid Web host since most free hosts severely restrict 'shopping cart' programming, disk space, and bandwidth.
Determine the amount of disk space you need. A good rule of thumb is to get as much disk space as you can. The amount of disk space provided by free Web hosts varies widely -- anywhere from 20MB to 1GB -- and there are limitations on individual file sizes.
Decide whether you're willing to allow advertisements on your site. Most free Web hosts have plans that place banner ads on your site in exchange for the service, while others do not place ads, but severely limit your design flexibility and access to server resources.
Decide what kind of programming flexibility you want. Most free Web hosts allow only static HTML pages, but some do allow Web programming in exchange for ad placement on your site or resource limits. For instance, kinds of programming tools you might want are PHP combined with MySQL, to allow better content management and the ability for users to contact you through a Web form or log in to an account.
Decide if you want a full domain name or are willing to use a sub-domain name. Most free Web hosts force you to use a sub-domain with the host's name in it. For example, “www.[your name].hostcompany.com” rather than a full domain name like “www.[your name].com.”
Determine the level of customer support you need. Free Web hosts provide some level of customer support, for example, online forums, knowledge bases, and email support. However, paid plans are more likely to give you comprehensive technical support, like 24/7 access to technical staff and phone support.
Search technical review sites like FreeWebSpace.org or Free-Webhosts.com for lists of hosts with plans that match the features you decided on in Steps 1 through 6. Also search your city's Chamber of Commerce website or your local Better Business Bureau.
Read through the customer reviews for each host, if available. Look for ways the host excelled in, or failed to provide, the features you require. However, keep in mind that some reviewers may have had an uncommon experience with the host, so look for review patterns that present an overall picture of the host.
Decide which host you want to use and then contact the company by phone or email. Provide your requirements to verify it has a free hosting plan that is appropriate for you. Speaking with a person from the company, rather than signing up for services on its website, helps you get a feel for how responsive the company will be to your needs.

How to Start a Sports WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
Choose a web hosting company that offers the ability to stream video for websites. There are many hosting companies to choose from (see Resources). Avoid free web hosting companies, as most don't offer enough storage space for the uploading sports media and will also use your website for their advertisements.
Select a domain name. It's a good idea to create a domain related to sports and is easy for people to remember. Check to see if the domain name is still available. There will be different top-level domain options to choose from. If you plan to sell products or advertisements on your website, go with .com for commercial. If your website is based on an organization, such as a soccer league, choose .org.
Design your sports website using the built-in design tools offered by your hosting company. Some hosting companies, like GoDaddy, will charge you a small fee to use their site builder, while other hosting companies, like Yahoo! Web Hosting, have free design tools to help create your website with no experience necessary.
Consider buying a professional sports template. This will help make your website stand out, without the worry of website designing. You will, however, still need to publish content, upload media and insert links. Ask your hosting company how to install a website template into the web host so it appears on the Internet when you publish the site.
Create sports-related content. Write biographies of famous players. Upload photos of sports events. Upload audio content of sports experts talking about the latest sports news. Upload video content from YouTube or other video sites on sports- related material to make your site more interesting. Add a poll asking sports fans' opinions about the latest deal. Install a forum that allows people to have conversations with each other, or a comment box underneath each post so people can comment about the latest news.
Consider adding a sports widget application to your site. A widget is a application that you can put into your blog or web page to allow for new updates, such as real-time scores, directly to your website. Doing this can make your site more attractive, deliver the most recent news, and get your visitors to stay around longer.
Review your website. Check to see if there are any problems that slow down the loading of your website. Make sure your links are placed in the right place, preferably right on top so your visitors know where to navigate when they first visit your website. Check to see if your website browser is compatible---it should look good in Internet Explorer as well as Mozilla Firefox. Select a font that looks professional. Comic Sans or bright green will make the site look amateurish. Proofread any content text for grammar and punctuation errors. Publish your content when you are finished reviewing and ready to make your website available for people to visit.
