public_html is the directory or also called folder that you publish your files to, it can be found in the control panel, under file manager

BUT as Bethers says ... you are in the wrong thread for help ... please ask your question in the appropriate part of the forum .... you will receive much more help there ....

You seem to be asking for how to add google ads to the site? Is this correct? I believe there are instructions for this in the google room on the forum.

The only way we can help is if you ask specific questions - and it helps if they are in the right area of the forum.

You might also wish to update your Profile (located top-left corner of this Forum under "User CP") to include your name, Email address (in case someone offers to help you out individually), and update your Signature with the URL of "your site" so we can see how to best guide you......

Ok, you seem to have bough one of the many ready made sites. these sites consist in a number of files, that have to be customized with your own details before they can be published. The only way to do this is by following the excact instructions that came in your package.

So, here is what you do:
1. Create a folder on your computer, call it f.e. "My site" and extract the zip files in this folder. This will have as result that you will have in this folder a number of html (or htm) files.
2. Following the instructions of your supplier, edit the files. This is usually done in Notepad, as you already mentioned. To acheive this, go in Computer resources, find your folder (My site), select the file you need to edit, then rig***lick and select "Open with" then select Notepad from the list of programs that will appear. As soon as you do that, the file code will appear in your Notepad. Make the necessary changes, and then save the edited file.
3. When you are finished editing all the necessary files, you need to upload the files on your site. You must first have a site, so if you haven't yet signed up with VH, signup for a new account. When your account is active /usually after 24 - 48 hrs), you must use FTP or File Manager and upload all the files from your "My site" folder, in the "public_html" folder of your site.
