My number one tip to you would be to recommend that you do not use FrontPage...

You also have notpad (or something similar on a Mac or Linux), or could get HTML-Kit (http://www.chami.com/html-kit/) for free...

Anyway, try searching google (http://www.google.com) for "FrontPage Tutorials"...

1st Page 2000 is a free editor, get it here (http://www.evrsoft.com/).
Learn about HTML here (http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp).

You need to hard code your pages (which is a much better way of doing it, anyway). You can look at the link that Fang posted, to W3schools, or take a look at http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ for the specs on HTML 4.01

No need to "buy" anything, there are plenty of free website hosters i.e. geocities (http://geocities.yahoo.com/).

I would highly NOT recommend Geocities. Depending on what you want to use on a site in terms of languages, I would rather use something like Netfirms instead.

Most ISPs nowadays include space for a personal website as part of your monthly charges. I'd check there.

Pyro why would you not recommend frontpage?

FrontPage is one of the worst, if the the worst editor I've seen. It fills your code loads of proprietry crap, basically ensuring your pages will only work in IE.

thanks glad I didn't buy it.
I've coded in notepad..... and now I'm using coffee cup although it seems to do no better than notepad. I've downloaded the previous program you recommended.
My website needs a lot of work I'm moving on from html to javascript but the way I figure it ... you must learn to multiply before you get a calculator.

just to let you know that I've used

www.freewebs.com

for publishing sites (for free), it's good for a beginner as each file is uploaded individually (a nuiscance if you know what you're doing!) but quite good when starting out. You can pay for FTP access (transferring multiple files).

Nice and easy to register and pretty simple to use.

Stick to standards. Javascript can be nice, but not all browsers support it or are configured not to use it.

Stay away from Frontpage, just about anything Microsoft will not generate VALID code. To be honest, I still mostly use notepad.

I wish you the best of luck ! :)
