hi, can create my own aliases in a txt document, source it, and be able to use it?

for example

logmein = 'ssh me@mysite.com'

so i can type logmein and it will execute my command?

For anyone that stumbles across this like I did:

Become root
Edit /etc/profile (this will affect all users)
Add the line
alias logmein="ssh me@mysite.com"
There's probably a way to do this without being root (equivalent to .bashrc), but this was easy enough and got the job done.

Yes, use /home/user/.profile instead.
