You'll need to host it and buy a domain, and that costs money. Not too much money, but money nonetheless. Alternatively, you can use a free service (like Yahoo's Geocities, for example) to put it up for free, but then your website would have banners, pop-ups, and a large level of suck. Unless you're talking about something else entirely, and are asking about how to turn a ';.txt'; file into ';.html';. That's pretty easy. Just right click on the file and rename it, changing the extension. And that's pretty much it. Next time, please be a little bit more coherent. KTHXBYE.Hi, I am now done coding my ';Notepad'; website...how do I make it into a ';www.'; thing?
You pay a registrar to register the www.(something).com domain where (something) is a name you choose.





Then you pay a web host to actually host the content for you, and point the domain name to the host.





You upload your content to the web host, set up the ';root'; file, test it, and you're done.
You can get hosting for prices at or around $4/month. I use: http://www.3shost.com/





You could buy your ';domain'; (www.domain.com) at sites like http://www.godaddy.com. Not sure what they charge
You need to upload it when you're done with the layout and design. Well since you have a yahoo account then you may use Yahoo's free hosting on Geocities.





Go to www.geocities.com, then setup your free account where you need to choose at least one catergory of advertisement to appear on your site. When your done with that, then you're ready to go and upload your stuff. Go to the Easy Upload button and Browse to each file you have under your folder to upload them..if you have too many files then have patience, you need to Browse or point to your files one by one then eventually click UPLOAD.





Take note, if you have Images folder under your root folder where you saved your picture files used for the website you also need to create a directory/folder on your Filemanager. Then upload those pics under the images folder. Otherwise, you get a broken image with a red X mark..meaning the pic's location may not be correct or the pic is not found.





You will have your URL with your yahoo name on it. Such as christy as user name, then your URL will be http://www.gecocities.com/christy





Geocities is quite very friendly...no worries. Enjoy!
ummm make it an index.html file and get a hosting site that would support it or copy the code and put it into html on another site so that it can show up.
