As I work on building my first personal website, I am puzzled when it comes to 'attaching' simple projects I've made to feature on my site. I'm hoping I don't have to create (and pay for) individual domain names for each and every project.
For instance, I will have a folder with all the files for a project that features a simple music keyboard. Would someone be able to outline the steps to creating a thumbnail on my personal website on how to do this to link it to the project?
