How to Start An Online Community Website

This free program gives you a great way to start your own web 2.0 website, where visitors can interact and post information.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. To get started you will need a free program called Joomla. This can be downloaded for free at Joomla.org.
2. Once you have the free program, you can install it on your current hosting server, or if you do not currently have a server, I recommend siteground.com (link provided below). They specialize in Joomla hosting and the cost is very low and they will even install Joomla free for you.
3. Once you have Joomla installed, you can add programs and modify the standard options to build your site as needed. Siteground hosting also provides free tutorials for the program to help you learn the system.
