Well this is awesome. Creating my own cloud based file server on my own domain! I am a regular dropbox user so I definitely see the benefits of creating my own space on my own server. At first I wasn’t sure how I would use this for school – we have an LMS, and we… Read more »

Adding YOURLS to my domain Response
I think the coolest part of having your own URL shortener is that you are always using your own domain as part of the URL. Even though you might be going to an outside site, the link you give ties to your URL. Adding a bookmarklet to the bookmarks bar makes it easy an quick… Read more »
My site is secure! Response
The “Let’s Encrypt™ SSL” page was pretty easy to use. Even editing the .htaccess file was easy. However, in my directory, I already had that file. I am guessing it was because it’s a WordPress site? I renamed the original and created a new file based on the directions. It worked perfectly. I created a… Read more »
Email Address for my new website Response
I created an email that I could use to post on my website. I also forwarded this email to my personal account so I will not have to check an extra email. I added a subpage to my main website and added the picture of my new email onto an html page so it’s easy… Read more »

As I work through these activities, I will have to give more thought to how I would like to structure this site. Perhaps add more subdomains for hobbies? family? It will… Read more »
Do NOT Enter Response
Adding security to a site is great if you want to share files/pictures/webpages with a few people, but not the world. I would imagine it’s only as safe as the password you use..but if definitely keeps out the majority of people who you may not want to see certain files. Again – you can use… Read more »
A new way to WordPress…. Response
I wrote my description for Activity 3 on my new WordPress site: http://camp.learn4growth.com/
Subdomains & Redirects Response
I always wondered about how it worked with additional words instead of www were added to the URL I did the activity – linking my new “blog.learn4growth.com” page to my current blog that I started for Extend West. Very cool. The only thing is that is you see the URL at the top that you’ve… Read more »
