Want to own your own Networking Website, maybe even one like this...it's simple and free;and will only take a few minutes. I will walk you through the process as i build one while i write this article.

Okay, well first thing is first....
There are a lot of website building companies out there but the one we will use is...Ning. Its very simple to use and is free...To view an example of a ning made site visit here... http://nerdfighters.ning.com/?page_id=63
To begin now you will need to go to http://www.ning.com/
When there it will ask you what to name your site, and what you will want your web address to be...(you will have the opportunity to change these at anytime after you are finished.)
Lets see..today I am going to name my new site The Anime Cafe, and my web address i will pick will be theanimecafe as well.Typically it makes the most sense to have the address and name be the same. After you do this you will be prompted to join and have to enter your basic information to register with them.

Next it will ask..to Describe Your Social Network..
This is all about what you want your site for, hobbies, friends, interests , or just a place to hang out.You may choose-t have your site public or for private use, i will choose public.
Nest it asks for a tag line this is like a quote, or a slogan tat will appear on your site.Since I am making mine with a Anime Cafe theme my slogan will be"Come in and let us Pamper you with Cookies."Next you are asked to write a brief description about your site.I have chose"A Place for Anime Luvers to Come and Play."Next you are told to write keywords this is so people will be able to find your site easier.Since mie is anime related i typed anime,manga,cookies,cafe.Then after clicking next, you get to the fun part. Yea!! For Layouts!! this the part I love best about website building, the creative part.Here you may add the features to your website that best suits you.I like to add all the options to give my members options.
The image that you see now is a basic template of your homepage, and you are to drag and drop features form the left to the template on the right
in any collom place that you wish.I recommend clicking the ble words under features that say view all features there is more then what you see there.And on we go.....weeee...... after you are done there click next and continue to the next part of choosing your customized appearance. They give you a number of colors and slight styles to choose from..At this point believe it or not you are almost done. =D
(you will have the option always to be able to change any of this if you decide you don't like it.)You now have the option to choose your font the size of your font, add a picture for the top of your page etc. There is a tab that says advanced i do not recommend using this unless you are comfortable using css codes.When completed on this page click launch... Ta-Da-!!!!Congratulations!! You have just made your own networking website.Now you can start inviting friends, adding pictures, music, videos, whatever you and your members wish.Now at the top of the page there is a tab that says manage, thats your own spot to go back change things add things and access you websites info.To view my website ...visit..http://theanimecafe.ning.com/
Mine is a very basic one i will add at tweak it later.i am interested in finding out how yours does. So please let me know I'd love to visit it. =D
