Hey guys, few days back Usama said he want to start his own blog but he decided to continue with BlogCooters, he came back with a new idea, he insisted me to set up up a How To category and he will share how to guides on BlogCooters from now on. I was not sure about Usama’s idea but I thought I should give him a chance. Here is Usama’s very first article:

While renovating the site or creating a website from scratch many folks wish that they could display an under construction page, but many of them don’t know how to activate it. Below are the few simple steps, just follow the steps and your page will be activated.

  1. Login to your Cpanel or any other Webftp.
  2. Go to the directory where your files are located, if you want to display the page on a sub domain then you’d have to open the particular directory of that sub domain.
  3. Create a new file “index.html”.
  4. Edit the file and copy the below code and paste it into the source editor:

<html>
<body>
<center>
<h2> Under Construction!! </h2>
<p>Every Big thing requires time, We are working on something big, we will make it live soon</p>
</<center>
</body>
</html>

It is a simple page, which displays custom text, you can merely edit that text. Moreover you can also display images as an under construction page.

  1. For displaying an image you would have to upload the image of your choice into the root folder and paste the below code into the index.html file.

<img src=”/location.jpg”></div>

Note: Change “location.jpg” with the original location of image.
