Follow these steps:

• Go to Netfirms
• Click the Web Hosting at the top
• Choose the option that suits your needs. Typically, most people just need the cheapest option. If a bigger package is on sale and is cheaper than the smallest package, take it. It doesn’t cost anything to downgrade your account later
• Select either 1 year or 2 year billing and click the “Sign up now” button
• On the next screen, since you already own your domain, choose the second option to transfer a existing domain to Netfirms. Or if you have a free domain option, you can always select another domain at this time for free.
• On the next page, Step 2: you need to fill out your billing information.
• Scroll down and be sure that you DO NOT have any extra features checked. You DO NOT need these extra costs.
• Click the “Check Out” button
• Follow the remaining steps and remember the password that you choose if you had the option to choose it at this time.  If not, then it will come in an email from Netfirms
• Now you have purchased hosting with Netfirms (if we are setting up your new website, please forward all the emails from Netfirms to me and provide me with your password so I can get your new site ready)

Follow these steps:

• Go to Netfirms
• Click the Domain Names at the top
• On the right side you can search for the domain name that you want and choose the extension from the drop down box. (extension = .ca or .com or .org) and click Search
• If the domain you are searching for is available then it will say Congratulations. If not, then it will show you some options that you may like. If you don’t like the options then try again with a different variation.
• Once you find the domain name and it is available, click the Continue button at the bottom….BUT, make sure that you only have the “1” domain name that you want checked.
• On the next screen, choose the “NO THANKS” buttons. You don’t need any extra stuff
• Now on the checkout page, your order should only be 9.95 + tax (10.45).
• Fill out all your personal information. There are 2 checkboxes in the personal information areas that must be checked, so don’t over look these. Fill out your payment information and “COMPLETE ORDER”
• You will receive a couple emails from Netfirms, confirmations and order details. Keep these for your records and make sure that you remember your password. If you purchased a .CA domain, you will receive an email from CIRA. You MUST keep this for your records as well and it contains your username and password for CIRA. Read this email carefully, you may have to follow up by clicking a link in the email.

By default, comments are automatically allowed with new WordPress websites. When we first create the website, we turn this featue off because you don’t want to automatically allow comments on all the new pages on your website. Often we leave this feature disabled until you are ready to maintain and manage comments on your new blog posts. This is a feature can easily be turned on and off. Simply login into your wordpress backend and go to Settings >> Discussion. Look for the 3rd checkbox and check that in order to enable comments. The comment feature will applies to all NEW blog posts and pages. Now that you have activated this option, with each NEW post you create people will automatically be able to comment. You will receive an email so that you can approve the comment before it goes live. If you would rather just allow people to comment without your approval you can make it so. Go to Settings >> Discussion. Uncheck the 11th checkbox.

This will not affect any existing posts or pages. If you want people to be able to comment on previous posts you must go to those posts individually. Go to Posts >> click on the post you want to allow comments. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see if the “Comments” + “Discussion” sections are there. If not, scroll back up to the top and click the “Screen Options” at the top right. (see two screenshots below) Check the two boxes… comments and discussion. Then click the screen options to shrink that back down. Now at the bottom of the screen, there are two new sections. In order to allow for comments, just check the box for comments in the discussion section. Then update the page by clicking the blue “Update” button.

Voila… Just note, that if you create new pages… they will automatically allow for comments. So when you create the new page make sure you uncheck this box to disallow the comments on the pages. You don’t want people commenting on you pages, just your blog posts.
 

Installing an HTML email signature into your Gmail couldn’t be easier. After some research I found this tutorial to help walk you through the process.

The installation process is very straight forward and easy to follow. Assuming that Get Jacked has already created your HTML email signature, follow the 4 easy steps below to get your great looking email signature installed.

Follow these instructions >>

1. First we must create the HTML signature.  You can have images and hyperlinks in this signature.  Then we will ZIP up the files and send them to you.
2. Save this ZIP to your desktop
3. Right click on the ZIP to extract them to a folder
4. Copy these files inside the folder (there should be 3 files and a folder with 3 files in it…copy all 4 items) and paste them into this folder.
   1. By default you can find the Signatures folder in the following location;
      Windows XP
      C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures
      Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista
      C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures
5. Then open your outlook and go to “Tools” >> “Options” >> “Mail Format” >> “Signatures”
6. On the left you should see your custom signature.  If so see that, continue to the next step.
7. On the right, “Choose default signature”…in the Email Account drop down, select your chosen email account.  Then for the New messages drop down, choose the the custom signature as well as for the Replies/forwards.
8. click OK, OK
9. That should do it.

Follow these steps:

1. You must save your HTML file to the following location:
   C:\Documents and Settings\NAMEORYOURCOMPUTER\Application Data\Microsoft\Stationery\
   (note that the “NAMEORYOURCOMPUTER” is the actual name of your computer.)
2. Once you have saved this file to this EXACT folder on your computer, then you can open outlook.
3. Go to the Tools >> Options in the menu bar at the top
4. In the popup “options” box, choose the “Mail Format” tab.
5. On the “Mail Format” tab, choose the “Stationary and Font…” button
6. Now you will have another popup window named “Signatures and Stationery”
7. Make sure that you are on the “Personal Stationery” tab
8. Then click on the “Theme” button.
9. You will have another popup window named “Theme or Stationery”. On the left side of this popup you will see a big long list of all the available themes. If you saved the attached file in the correct location, you will see a theme named “NAMEOFFILE (Stationery)”. click on this theme and then the “OK” button
10. Now on the “Signatures and Stationery” popup, choose the “E-mail Signature” tab. If you have any active signatures here, please disable them. You will no longer need these since you are using stationary that includes your signature details. Click “OK”
11. Click “Ok” to close the last popup. Now you just need to create a new email and you will automatically see your signature. Type your message above the email signature as you normally would.
12. NOTE: If using Windows 7: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Stationery
