create your first site in SharePoint?

When you want to create a site in SharePoint, you need to prepare a site collection and define the site inside the site collection. That’s a simple four step procedure and can be easily achieved by using the SharePoint central administration.
Step 1: Click on Start and you should find the SharePoint central administration menu.

Step 2: Once you click on the central administration menu, you need to click on the ‘Application Management’ tab and then click ‘Create site collection’.

Step 3: Once you click ‘Create site collection’, you should see a form which needs all the necessary details to create a site. All details are almost self-understandable. We have just stressed on the three points: the site name, the template, and the username in which SharePoint will run. All sites in SharePoint need to be inherited from some master, they can not stand on their own.

Step 4: Once you have clicked ‘OK’, you can now run the URL with your SharePoint name and you should see something as shown below. As we have created from a blank site, currently we do not have anything. Below is how a blank site looks like.
