INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This may involve a one-time purchase fee and/or a yearly fee, depending where you are buying the domain. When you are ready to go live, you will need to push your domain name to the web hosting site, so that they can identify the domain with your website. The web hosting site, blogging platform/CRM (WordPress) and domain name are all parts of the website puzzle that will need to be pulled together in order to have an active, live website. Some web hosting sites are specifically designed to easily install WordPress. If you are a beginner, you may want to consider using Site5, WebHostingHub, HostGator, BlueHost or InMotion Hosting. You will need to pay a fee to gain access to website email, storage, customization and more. Use your credit card to sign up for the package that best fits your website's needs. Some web hosts post their own specialized instructions, or give the option of an assisted installation, instead of a manual installation. Keep in mind that every web hosting site is a little bit different, so manual installation will vary for each site. Download the program onto your computer, so that you can easily transfer files from your computer and connect them to your web host. Your web hosting program may come with a FTP client. If so, you can use this to upload your WordPress files.

SUMMARY: Buy your domain name. Choose a web hosting site to host your WordPress website. Pay a yearly or monthly fee to the web hosting site. Check your website to see if there are special instructions for installing WordPress. Sign up for a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold.  If you're wanting to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended to use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls. If you're wanting to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting it back up, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake. If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well. Place the chocolate covered cake ball in the same place on the waxed paper. Pick up the next one and repeat the dipping until everything is covered.

SUMMARY: Melt the chocolate. Insert sticks into the cake balls. Dip the cake balls. Repeat with the rest.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wash the mint with cool water. Pluck the leaves by hand or use a sharp kitchen knife to cut them right below the stems. Set the leaves on a dry paper towel to soak up excess moisture.  This is a great way to process leftover mint, or you can preserve a whole bundle as soon as you get it home from the store. You can also go ahead the chop the mint leaves. That way, all you’ll have to do is thaw them out when you’re ready to cook, bake or mix up drinks. With the tip of your finger, smooth the leaves flat against the bottom of the tray. Use one or two leaves per ice cube slot. For trays that make large or oddly shaped cubes, you may be able to use an additional one or two leaves. Drizzle the water into each slot slowly, leaving a little space at the top of the tray for the cubes to expand as they solidify. Don’t worry if some of the leaves float to the top—as long as they don’t poke out of the tray, it shouldn’t be a problem. If your mint ice cubes are destined for drinks, you can also add a spritz of lemon juice or a sprinkle of cane sugar or honey. Freezing your mint will keep it fresh almost indefinitely. When you’re ready to put it to use, just pop out a few cubes and thaw them out in a strainer under lukewarm water. You can also add the mint cubes whole to drinks or smoothies for a zesty, refreshing infusion of flavor. Yum!  Try chilling a pitcher of fresh-squeezed lemonade or iced tea with mint ice cubes.  After thawing the mint leaves, press them lightly between a layer of paper towels to squeeze out excess moisture.

SUMMARY: Remove the mint leaves from the stems. Press the mint leaves into an ice cube tray. Fill the ice cube tray with water. Freeze the mint and thaw it as needed.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your parents will be able to forgive you more easily if they feel heard and understood. Shutting up and listening can stop arguments and reduce emotional intensity.  Staring blankly at your parents as they speak will likely upset them. You should nod and display appropriate expressions, so they know you are listening, and not tuning them out. Ask questions to clarify and check your understanding. This will demonstrate that you are processing what they are telling you. For example, you could say something like, "I'm hearing you say that you're angry that I stayed out past curfew without clearing it with you. Is that right?" When it is time for you to talk, use the whole message formula to avoid misunderstandings. Start your statement with an observation of facts. This is usually a description of a behavior. Then explain what you interpret that behavior to mean and how that makes you feel. You should finish with what you would like to happen to focus the discussion on resolution. For example, "I ditched school to hang out with friends. I knew it was wrong, but I was thought it would make me seem cool. I was afraid I would be teased and embarrassed if I didn't go with everyone else. I would like some help coming up with good ways to resist peer pressure to better handle this kind of situation in the future." Your feelings about what your parents or the situation may affect your communication. The same sentence said in different tones can mean wildly different things. Feelings of frustration may result in a sarcastic tone or shouting before you even realize it. Try to remain objective and focus on communicating your message rather than your emotion. If your parents do comment about your tone, apologize and explain your experiencing frustration trying to clearly communicate your message.

SUMMARY:
Listen more than you talk. Communicate whole messages. Be mindful of your tone.
