This may seem like a lot of work at first but you will be glad that you did it when you need to quickly get a link or some piece of information.
Once you have each of your program's information on a Wordpad and tucked inside it's appropriate Folder, you will find that each Folder could be a Webpage... or a combination of 2 or 3 Folders could make up a Webpage. Your DOMAIN name would be selected based on your Main Folder and its contents and what you want to accomplish.
It would also be a great idea to create one more Wordpad and write down your plans and goals. Save it inside your Main Folder and refer to it often to add to it or change it or just to remind yourself. Plan your work/Work your plan.
Be creative and most of all, have fun.
