Hey, Bill,

Just Google up 'web page templates'. Your first screen will say something like, '1 - 20 of about 28 million web page templates.'

Be polite.  Find one you like and use it, and in the colophon at the bottom of your page, say, 'Page template by WebMonkey.com', with the name heated up (made a link to WebMonkey.com).  This is netiquette; when you use somebody's publically provided content on your page, you acknowledge them and provide a direct link to their page.

You can ignore this politic, but it's not nice.

Aloha,

Poinz

Bill,

Been there, done that.

The ONLY way to do HTML is to hand code it using a simple HTML editor. I use 1st Page 2000 - HTML Editor. It's free and reasonably easy to figure out. You can buy MS's Front Page for $125 and create hugely bloated, so-so pages, but in the end you're going to have to do some hand coding.

Go down to your local book store and buy "Creating a Web Page with HTML" by Elizabeth Castro. This will get you started. While you are there, buy a copy of her "HTML for the World Wide Web". This is the advanced stuff.

Every thing that Poindexter said, but once you have your template, you have to hand code your own info.

Bob

Any of the larger hosts will offer a package with templates, so you don't have to code anything--just type in the info you want to add or change. I know Register.com has it and 1and1.com has something called "WebsiteCreator", that allows you to have a 12 page site up and running quickly.

However, you will quickly tire of the limitations of those and have to learn to code. There are some nice starting templates on http://www.oswd.org/ and http://www.virtualpromote.com/ that will also get you going quickly.

Regards,

Lee

BTW, go to download.com and download HTML kit. This is a great free editor.
