Or some essential tips to learn and have fun with classmates and friends.

Have you ever thought to make a website that would help your classmates and professors keep track of lectures, homework and curriculum activities? If this sounds boring to you let me explain how to turn your web page into the coolest and most visited site your school has ever had.

First and most important element about your community website is your content. Web content consists of all documents, data, applications, images, audio and video files that you publish on your web page. It is crucial that you update regularly your website content and publish information that is interesting to your readers. For example, if you are building an academic website you can speak to your teacher about his/hers lectures and ask permission to publish them online, where everyone can read them at home. You can also find out which are your classmates’ favorite books, games, and movies and ask them to write short reviews. Or you can start up a competition and publish the best school essays so everyone can log in, read them and vote. The best ideas about your website content you will find around yourself by asking friends what they like to read and learn more about. Your content is also a key element of your web page because search engines can index text easily and if the information is close to what a searcher is seeking it can be delivered as a site for the seeker of information. This will eventually result into growing number of visits to your site and high search engine ranking.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@******.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

It is important to mention that this is a very general error message and may occurs in many cases — in most of them it is not exactly a server related issue. Actually, it is better to be understood like a report for something that has gone wrong, however, the server could not be more specific on what exactly has caused the problem you are experiencing.

If you send regular emails to a small list of customers/subscribers/friends you can create a very simple mail list via your cPanel if your ISP does not provide this feature by default with your plan.

This could be done quite easy. You will need a to create a single email account via your cPanel -> Mail -> Create account section. This mail will be used for forwarding your email to all of your recipients (broadcast).

As soon as you have your email account created, go to your cPanel -> Mail -> Forwarding Maintenance menu. From there you will be able to create your forwarders from the newly created email account to the desired emails.
