Connect to the Internet
Go to Stormpages.com
If you have not signed up for a free membership, do so. When
signing up it may be advisable that you use your username from
school so that if you use e-mail with your students from your
school address it is consistent. The password is at your
discretion.
If you have a membership, just log in
Scroll down to the middle of the page to the text which says
upload files
You will be uploading to the base directory (that’s just FYI)
When the ten spaces appear to upload click on the first space
where it says browse
Look for the folder where you have saved your website
Once you find the folder, select the first file that appears then open
Then…before you click on upload, browse the second space and

uploaded successfully
Click on upload more files and continue doing so until you have
uploaded all of the files in the folder you created for the web site
Just a note: the first page of your site (home page) has to be
named
index for it to appear correctly. Most of the time it
is done automatically, if it does not, just rename it index
from whatever it is currently named
Click on home after the server indicates that the files where
successfully uploaded
From the home page click on the hyperlink to your page to view
it

pages.
