Creating a website

What sort of website? If you want just a basic site them Google Page Creator is free and should do the trick.

Howard - creating a web site is relatively easy - however you first need somewhere to put it and a registered name such as http://www.bigh47.co.uk - most Macs come with iWeb, which would get you started, but there are lots of programs for PCs that do this too - you can use Word and simply save the document as html - Word allows you to insert hyper-links: the code it produces is not great quality, but it does work and a viewer doesn't usually look at the code.

What is the purpose of your site - what you want to use it for, will often determine which tools are most suitable to create it.

I'd recommend having a look at HTML Tutorial

I used iWeb for my websites, you need a mac though.

That WILL put up the cost a LITTLE.

In response to ROTF

I was looking for a place to link my interests together. Pages for my Golf MkII, HiFi, Travel pics Music (with some form of password access) to display my music collector list, Family pics and history(P/W access). Links to relevant web sites.

(with some form of password access)

This is a bit more complicated. You really need a hosting service to do this bit for you.

Most web sites start with http://

these are non-secured sites that anybody may read

if you want to do some security and make password protection worth the effort then you need a site that uses https://

These sites are more complex and use a secure version of the normal web server. The coding to display the pages is the same, but the web software has extra bits that support encryption between browser and web server. There are companies that help make this easy - I know Apple does it through the .Mac service, but I'm sure there must be PC equivalents.

However, I would recommend just starting on your PC and making up some pages that you are happy with using SeaMonkey from Mozilla http://www.seamonkey-project.org/.

You can save pages locally and see what they look like. It is not the last word in web page creation, but it is free and will get you started. It also lets you see the code it creates for you, but you don't need to code anything to make the pages.
