I want to start messing about with creating websites, having never attemped that kind of thing before.
Where's the best place to get a little bit of free space to start off with? (least annoying adverts etc.)
Cheers

The easiest it to get hold of a copy of a WYSIWYG application, such as Dreamweaver, and get used to it. It's almost like writing a doc file, but then, you can just start playing with it and do decent things.
Show as your tests thou ..

As a techie I'd say go and get a book like HTML for dummies.

Somehow I knew "html for dummies" would be a real book!
I think i'd prefer to have a "hard copy" reference. Shopping trip on Monday.

sorry to piggy back the thread but on the same lines what service is worth paying for if i am new to websites. I wanted a simple package where i could host a gallery of teams i am painting and maybe a brief now to guide etc...
All the service providers i have look at offer so many optional extras it is difficult to know what kind of package to look for. I access my internet through Blueyonder broadband, i noted that grumbledook sujested i may be able to get webstace through them. Any help would be apriciated thank you.
