Before I got started on the Astronomy Calculator, I figured I should setup some of the templates and foundations in ASP.NET.

I first created a local folder to store the files.  I then created a New Web Site project in Visual Web Developer.

I next created a MasterPages folder and .master file.  Next I created a Styles folder and a related CSS file.  Finally, I created a template.aspx to see if everything was linked together.

I also created a default.aspx file though I didn’t intend to use it.  I set it up to automatically redirect anyone going to http://astronomycalculator.com to redirect to http://clearskytonight.com/products/astronomycalculator/astronomycalculator.html.

I also created a check.aspx as a place to point my Pingdom monitoring service.

Lastly, I added the Google Analytics code into the .master file.
