This may have already been discussed, but I would say that Bravehost is a really great free editor. I would also reccommend Freeservers if you want a "template" site. Do not try 81x or Webspauner, those are really bad and pointless.

Hello!

 

I wanted to create a website to publically host all of my original essays and writings which until now have scattered all over USENET and forums all over the internet.

 

However' date=' I dont know what I'm doing, or even how to get started (and while this is just an experiment for me where I'm not sure how serious I plan to get, I'm not willing to pay anyone to build a website for me). I learned a little about computers by necessity, but after typing and some experience with MSExcel visual basic, I'm computer illiterate.

 

Could you nerds help me out? And please, if you do, go very slow [/quote']

 

You don't need a nerd; just go to http://www.webspawner.com and set up your website yourself. They use templates and you don't have to know anything.

Not sure why you say webspawner is bad. Can you clarify?

Templates are all over the web. Google "free web templates" and you get excellent sites such as supremetemplates for thousands of free pre-made templates (you have to keep a link underneath for copyright reasons though).

 

To make your web URL less long, I highly recommend DOT TK. It allows you to create a short domain name such as yoursite.tk. The website is http://www.dot.tk.

.tk is irritating because it forces advertisements in and makes every page on your site have the same URL, so you can't link to content.

NO!!!! Dot TK's putting ads now? When I used it (a couple of years ago, maybe one or two), it didn't have any ads.

It didn't used to add ads when I last used it in 02 either.

You get a five-second ad before it shows the actual website.
