Magic Cleaning Spray
Filed Under: Do-It-Yourself, Tutorials

I call this the Magic Cleaning Spray because it literally does all the work.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix together well in a spray bottle.
  2. Spray your bathtub, toilet, sink, etc.
  3. Let it sit for 2-3 hours.
  4. Rinse away the dirt and grime!

I usually spray this before bed at night or before I leave the house to run errands once a week.

The first initial time I used this spray, I did have to scrub a little. But if you stay on schedule, you usually can just rinse it away! :)




Basic HTML

Below you will find the basics of HTML. Really simple stuff! :)

  • Text Links
    Text links are those clickable words like this.

    Here is the code to have the link open up in the same window:

    <a href="URL HERE" class="broken_link">CLICKABLE TEXT HERE</a>

    If you’d like your link to open up in a new window, you’ll add target=”_blank” to the code. Like this:

    <a href="URL HERE" target="_blank" class="broken_link">CLICKABLE TEXT HERE</a>

  • Images
    Here is the code to show images on your website:
    <img src="IMAGE URL HERE">

    You can also make images clickable like you can with text. Like this:

    <a href="URL HERE" class="broken_link"><img src="IMAGE URL HERE"></a>

    If you use the text link code to have it open in a new window, it’ll work on the images, too! But also, you can make your images have no border and yet it’s still clickable! Like this:

    <a href="URL HERE" target="_blank" class="broken_link"><img src="IMAGE URL HERE" border="0"></a>

  • Text Formatting
    This makes your text bold, underlined, really small, etc.

    Bold:

    <b>TEXT HERE</b> OR <strong>TEXT HERE</strong>

    Italics:

    <i>TEXT HERE</i>

    Underlined:

    <u>TEXT HERE</u>

    Strike-through

    <s>TEXT HERE</s>

    Small Text

    <small>TEXT HERE</small>

    Big Text

    <big>TEXT HERE</big>

    This tutorial will explain how you can host another person’s blog or website on your domain.

    1. First, you will need your own domain and cPanel access.
    2. Complete the tutorial How to Create a Subdomain in cPanel.
    3. Go back to the home page of cPanel and scroll down to the “Files” section and click on “FTP Accounts”. Click here to view image!
    4. Fill in the first text box with the SAME username you used when you created the subdomain.
    5. Create a good, strong password in the next two text boxes.
    6. Click anywhere on the page and the “Directory” text box will automatically fill itself out.
    7. Specify a quota. It’s usually automatically checked for “Unlimited”, but I highly recommend that you click the option above it and enter in how many megabytes you will grant. Click to view image!
    8. Click on “Create FTP Account” and your newly created account will show up on the “FTP Accounts” page.

    Now that you have created a subdomain and also an FTP account, you can now host someone’s blog on your domain.

    Their website URL will look like this: http://subdomain-name.yourdomain.com/

    They will need the username and password to the FTP account you created for them in order for them to upload files to their subdomain and create a blog.
