FTP is what you use to run your website. Sites like freewebs and bravehost basically already have it
built in, so you don't have to do the work. You need an FTP program, and i use Smart FTP. Since I use
Smart FTP these tutorials are gonna be on just that program.
Logging in- There are several ways to do everything. For Smart FTP I went to
1. File
2. New Remote Broswer
A small box will pop up. Make sure your settings match up to
Port: 21, Protocol: Normal FTP, Login Type: Username & Password
3. Fill in your Host, Username & Password which your host should have given to you, no Path.
4. Select OK and it should log you in.

Adding pages- First of all, the page you must have is the 'homepage' or the technical term is index.
1. Right click in the white area
2. New>File
3. An un-named file should be added.. where you can rename it & press Enter on your keyboard. It will then be added.
* You must save all pages to php. Ex: brushes.php, layouts.php, blogheaders.php or your layout will not show up.
