Okay so before you judge, my niece loves care bears, and I'm trying to have a little bit of fun with my class (which required us to create a weebly site). You can visit here if you'd like, but its not super special. I'm only sharing because "sharing is caring".

Step 1: Pick a Focus of Your Site

Directions:

-Go to weebly.com and click create a website *If you're new, pop-ups will have you create an account*

-it will redirect you to the page in this picture, what you think your site's focus will be (all give you the same tools)

Step 2: Choose a Theme

Weebly has a ton of pre-made themes to scroll through, but ultimately you decide the format.

Step 3: Name Your Domain

-next, it will redirect you to a pop-up allowing you to type in and check the availability of your desire URL

Step 4: Pick a Site Title

Site title appears at the top of every page as a header/headline

Step 5: Add Basics And/or Media

Directions:

-on the right hand side is a large menu which you can scroll through

-this part is up to you: pick where to put text, videos, photos, etc.

-some additions such a polls are run through other sites that you must make an account for to use the feature

Step 6: Adding a Youtube Video

Direction (it's simple):

- a single pop-up will appear and all you need to do is insert the youtube URL which you retrieve off of youtube.com by clicking share under the video and copying the link

Now It's Your Turn!
