Lesson #4: Shine Darling, Shine

Now it is time to SHINE 💡

You might think you're not ready yet. You might think that your page isn't as good as you want it to be. You might think you have a long way to go before its ready to be seen by other people. I get you. But I also know a couple things about bringing it out for the world to see before its the perfect product.

• You'll be proud of yourself. Want to know why I still keep my first repository I've ever written on my GitHub? Because it reminds me of just how proud I was to complete something. Is it one of the worst things I've ever contributed to? Most likely.. but it made me proud then and it makes me proud now to know just how far I've come.
• You'll inspire others that they too can do what you did. People love being a part of the process, and this life is all a process. You can have a profound impact by just sharing what you're learning (cough cough #MinuteWithMadi).
• You'll receive feedback on how to make it even greater. How can people be on your team if you're not willing to play the game?

You've put so much time, energy, and effort into this webpage, its time to let other people see it. Let's get after it!!!

1. While on Github.com, go to the Settings Tab of your repository.
2. Scroll down to the GitHub Pages Section. If you see this, its because your repository is private. It needs to be public in order to make it visible to the world 🌏!!

• If your repository is private, you can change it to public by scrolling down to this section
• Click the Make Public button and it will pull up a prompt to type your repository name. (Mine would be betateam)
• Then when you return to the Settings page, this should be what you see in the Github Pages section.

3. Define the source. Click on the drop down box and select the Master branch.
4. This bar should then appear! Meaning your site is LIVE!!!!
5. YOU DID IT!! YOU MADE YOUR WEBSITE!!!! AND ITS LIVE!!!! LIKE WHATTTT!!!! ITS TIME TO SHARE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT!!! Tell your mom, your best friend, your school teacher. DM a random person and ask them to check it out.

Can I be selfish for a minute? Could I be one of the first people you share it with? I WANT TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU! (and I want to send you something special!! 🙊) CELEBRATE!!!!!
