keyboardan 360337a188 Merge finding-index.md into edit-index.html
It is unnecessary to have this two separate files.  Merge them into
one.  This way all information is delivered with just one click.
Also, the wiki gets even less clutter (there is few, or no, clutter in
~club wiki).

Also make small changes to edit-index.html file.

How to find your index.html

There are some basic command line commands you'll want to Google and learn, but for this tutorial you only need a few:

Basic commands

ls = list files and folders in current directory

cd = change directories

vim, emacs, nano = a text editor

Put those commands into practice

Type: ls to list your current directory; you should see a directory listed as "public_html"

Type: cd public_html to change into the "public_html" directory

Type: ls to list the current directory again; you should see your index.html file

How to edit index.html with a simple text editor

Type: nano index.html to open your index.html file and begin editing

Edit your file, willy nilly

When done editing, use CTRL+X to close the file

You'll be asked if you want to save; say y and [return] to return to the command line

Refresh your tilde page in your browser to see your new website

Note: If at any time you feel you made a mistake in editing, you can exit and n to not save

There's more info here about the nano editor; if you're familiar with emacs or vim they are here too
