So, you want to start building a website? Your future website holds great potential and can be very entertaining to both you and your audience.
First and foremost, you need some idea for your site. A blank page doesn't usually attract many tourists. Find something you like or know a lot about and use that.
Before you can start building your site, you need
to find an account in which to store it. There are many different accounts
available, each of which offers different things. I personally suggest
Tripod because it has a nice file editor, a very good file uploader, and
is very reliable. Here is a list of some hosts you might try. Each host
listed below offers a free package unless otherwise specified, though additional
services may be pricey, as noted. This list has been provided by ericla93.

Once you have your ideas and your account, you are ready to start building. But since you may not know HTML, you may not get anywhere fast. To learn HTML and to start really building your page, simply continue on into my HTML guide.
