Step Three - Directory Structure

Now that you have a list of content you could quite easily create a structure from those. Many sites also include and Images directory and a Scripts directory or cgi-bin. If you are going to use ASP for your site you may want an Includes directory for your header, menu or footer files. Create your directory structure on your hard drive first, before you even think about making files.

Remember that you shouldn't have any spaces between directory names or file names, instead why not put a _ ? That way the name is still readable and you won't end up with ugly characters in your URL's.

Step Four: Getting To Work

Start writing those articles! Or if you'd prefer start writing down article ideas. Ideas are the most important thing in any site, no ideas=no content it's as simple as that. Now you have a structure to work from and if/when your content increases you can easily create more sub-categories to deal with it. Much better than having all your files and images in the root directory don't you think? Now you create your content and your site working within the structure and hope that your visitors will read your content o).
