i use to have a basic website a couple of years ago setup as part of a free email account. i made it doing very basic html coding, which i have mostly forgotten and which i never fully learnt to begin with. im now thinking of hosting my own website again from my isp. since i know next to nothing about html, what would be a good program to use to build a website. i dont want anything fansy. i have used netscapes and mozillas composer program but never found that they could do the things i wanted them too. and i have never been a fan of anglefire or other do it urself website builder sites. thanx

I use Microsoft FrontPage and Dreamweaver. I'm sure there are other programs out there though. Those are just my two favorite.

[Sanguinan]

Or you could have someone do it for you :-p I'm learning PHP, already know HTML so I need some work, I'll do it for you. Contact me at Coop5656@yahoo.com if you would like.

[AvvY]

There are alot of websites that offer free tutorials in both html and graphics work.
I may not be so good with coding, but i am fairly good with graphics.
Just google around and try to find some tutorials (www.good-tutorials.com offers over 2000 photoshop tutorials). Or you can do as i started out after trying out some tutorials that worked good.
I went around the net finding some template sites. I tried to recreate them almost exactly, then gave them my own twist.
I kept doing it for some time, until my first website around a year ago.

All you have to do basicly is just look around for people who can help you learn, sites that help you learn yourself and just experiment. That's it.

I'd suggest a powerful, yet free html editor called WebDwarf . You can then use the built in FTP option to load it to your ISP's server.

[Sanguinan]

Wow SouthernLady, nice list there. I'll have to check those all out, maybe boost my skills some. I'm working on an NFL website, new skills could come in handy, and I'm sure those will help bigavvystyle a lot.

http://<b>http://webdesign.about.co...l_begin.htm</b>

Can you please edit that so it works? Your bold symbols didnt work, and the link doesn't work.

Actually now then I look through these, several links are being impeded by the bold. Check em out for me, I'd really like to check these sites out.

[southernlady]

Sanguinan, sorry about that...I got told I wasn't reviewing them, just POSTING links so I thought I would review them as well by putting the best ones in bold. Well, I guess it goofed. Here are the ones that were in bold again. Liz

wow, thanx for all the info ppl, and a special thanks to u SouthernLady. yeah i guess i could try and relearn some html, i have to admit it was a bit of fun doing the coding myself. i went over to a friends place and used his copy of dream weaver to make a site. ill now have a look through those links to see if i can rekindle my knowledge for html! thanx alot!

[AvvY]

as i said i made a site using dreamweaver, and i just uploaded it. yes now im not going to host it permenately here but as a temp thing coz my isp's webhosting facility is down, http://bigavvystyle.tripod.com . lol now i know its a little rough, and there are a few typos, but i made it in half an hour so be nice! tell me what u think tho

[southernlady]

Got only one problem, YOU need a spell checker! LOL other than that, I like it. Liz

[AvvY]

yeah i havent had time to run a spell check on it . lol, coz i only has a small ammount of time at my friends house i had to type as fast as i could, and something lapsed a little . but thanx anyhow

[AvvY]

ok well i just fixed all the spelling!!!! i thought it was kinda funny, when i was checking the Contact page i wrote that people should make sure their spelling was correct when most of mine was in shambles! haha, well now that i have the site structure i will pay more attention to detail
