hello, just wanted to try and help, i know of a few sites that are very user friendly they are free, and have good plans well one of them do, www.freewebs.com (i use this one for my business) www.geocities.com www.anglefire.com they are all good, for a total beginer id recomend using either freewebs or geocities. if you want some cool things added to your site you can go to bravenet.com. and sign up for that, its neat, get pop up and other things. every website i posted above in this forum reply has html markups which are little things you can open to put html into, and its all visiual and not html formated. although you could switch it to html format if you know your way around the code. personaly i like to look at pic's while im building one so i use the other one, pluse some html, (always good to have some of your personal stuff besides what you write). their are also ways to get a chat room added to your site, i have on in my geocites account, if you wish here it is you can check it out, www.geocities.com/jatscollectables/Homepage.html its under the link jatschat. i think its run by multicity or something like that. if your looking for cheap hosting, freewebs.com is the best in my opinion $42 a year, and you get 1.5 gig of bandwith hehe and 200 mb storage. not a bad deal realy. well iv taken enough of your time, have a nice one. oh ps want to see a freewebs.com website i built i know little to know html coding, so just to get a feel for what you can do www.freewebs.com/jatscollectables
