How to Update Your Website 🛠️
This is your guide! It shows you how to change your website whenever you want.
Your website lives inside something called GitHub. Think of GitHub like a magic notebook. Whatever you write in the notebook shows up on your real website a minute later — like magic, but it's actually just a computer copying your words!
Step 1: Find Your Notebook
Each of you has your own notebook (it's called a "repository," but you can just call it your notebook).
Keiser's notebook: 👉 https://github.com/klandstudio/keiser
Kason's and Kreuz's notebook (you share one!): 👉 https://github.com/klandstudio/3d-works
Click your link. That takes you to your notebook's home page.
Step 2: Open the Page You Want to Change
You'll see a list of files. A "file" is one page of your website.
index.html= the homepage- Other files = other pages
Click on the file you want to change. Its words will show up on the screen, but with some funny < > symbols mixed in. Don't worry about those — just leave them alone and only change the words between them.
Step 3: Turn On "Edit Mode"
Look near the top right of the page. You'll see a little pencil ✏️ icon.
Click the pencil icon.
Now you can type! The page turns into a big text box where you can click anywhere and start typing, just like a word processor.
Step 4: Make Your Change
Here's what's safe to change:
✅ Safe to change:
- Words inside
<p>and</p>(that's a sentence) - Words inside
<h1>,<h2>, or<h3>(that's a big title) - A link's words, like
Kason's space →
🚫 Don't touch:
- Anything with
<style>or<script>— that's the invisible stuff that makes colors and buttons work - The
< >symbols themselves — just change the words between them
Tip: If you're not sure, only change one small thing at a time. That way if something looks weird, you know exactly what caused it!
Step 5: Save Your Change (This Part Is Important!)
When you're done typing, look at the top-right corner. Click the green button that says:
"Commit changes..."
A little box will pop up. It already has a message written for you (or you can type your own, like "Changed my homepage words").
Then click the green "Commit changes" button one more time inside that box.
🎉 That's it! You just saved your change!
Step 6: Check Your Website
Wait about 30 seconds — that's how long it takes for the magic to happen.
Then open your real website:
Keiser: https://keiser-bpk.pages.dev/
Kason & Kreuz: https://3d-works.pages.dev/
Refresh the page (press the circle-arrow button, or hit F5). Your change should be there!
What If I Mess Something Up?
Don't panic! Nothing is ever really lost. Every single change you've ever made is saved in your notebook's history, so a grown-up can always help you go back to how it was before.
The best rule: change one small thing, save it, check the website, then do the next thing. Small steps mean small mistakes — and small mistakes are easy to fix!
