If you want to get starting with making a web site, try to learn some basic HTML programming. HTML, standing for "HyperText Markup Language", is a scripting/formatting language used for publishing and formatting webpages. There are plenty of HTML guides online. One such resource you might find handy is the Bare Bones HTML guide, and w3c school. However, if you don't have time to learn HTML and quickly want to get a website online, many web hosts have tools that allow you to create a site with minimial to no web programming knowledge. Furthermore, there are offline WYSIWYG programs too, such as Pagebreeze. A web host is a company that will host your website online. Many of these web hosts will allow you to make a free account for your website (with minimum features), which will have a subdomain on the main site. Eg, my web host is Tripod.com, and my website is a subdomain at http://tamkis.tripod.com. Paid plans usually have more features and allow you to get your own domain name, eg tamkis.net or say www.[insert site name here].[whatever]. Some things to look for when picking a web host: 1. Tools (wyswyg editors, &c) 2. Bandwidth (how much stuff can be downloaded per time period) 3. Amount of storage space for files 4. Other features (blogs, ftp, &c) Some web hosts: sites.google.com webs.com Tripod.com Good luck!
