How do i solve the rubiks cube afteri did one side the correct way?

First you solve the first layer, then hold the cube so that the solved layer is on the bottom side, then match up the top layer with the center piece of the middle layer of the second layer. The color on the top of the edge piece will determine which algorithm you do. So if you match it up with red, then it has to go to blue, you do the left side algorithm. If it goes to green, then you do the right side algorithm. You keep doing that until the complete second layer is solved. Then the top layer you would either have an L shape, a dot, a line, or a cross. If you have a dot, L, or line, do the algorithm which turns the line into the cross (if you have the dot or L, you need to do that algorithm twice). Once you have the cross, use the cross color algorithm to match the correct colors of the edges of the cross, and then match them up. Then find a corner piece that is in the correct place, hold the cube so that that corner is on the bottom right corner. Then do the corner switch algorithm until all the corner pieces are in the correct place. Then keep doing the return to original position algorithm until all the corners are switched so that the top layer is completed, then the whole cube should be solved.

Look at that one side you completed. Then look at the squares that the sides connect to. Are they in a uniform pattern? Meaning, if the top side is your completed side, does the top row of the four sides surrounding it the same? ------------------------------------__... ____________________/----- /| <-- completed side ----------------------------------/___ /-| <-- is the top row here --Is the top row the -->_|------| | the same color? ----same color here?---- |___-| | If not, you began it wrong. You must complete the Rubik's cube by layers, not sides. The trick to start it out is to get one side and one layer completed at the same time. Then, work on the second layer, then complete it with the third layer.
