I was thinking of trying to make a web site several questions I have

Which format HTML FTP or other?
Any free online guides that are idot frendly?
Best free web hosting site

I used angel fire (I think thats what it was called) a while back but that is using templates and I could never really figure out HTML code so I gave up but that was years ago. So any new changes with format and is it fairly simple to do it your self? If I get into it I will probably buy a domain later just think I want to give it a shot again!

Any ideas would be great, thanks

*PS Didn't realize that I posted in the software not the Internet section if a MOD could move it, Thanks*

HTML is very simple, and doesn't offer much, but when you master that, and move into CSS and JavaScript, it gets really interesting.
Start learning HTML, you don't need a web host or anything to display it in IE from your computer only. Learn that, CSS, and JavaScript and then you'll be fairly decent at web design, and then see about setting up your own server (really easy). That will be your best bet at a free web host. Hope this helps.

first off, DON'T USE ANGELFIRE lol. there are alternatives out there that are 10x better. i offer hosting to anyone on CF that wants it. learn how to use FTP programs and then i will set you up with some space if you are interested.

You're gonna need to learn HTML... But when you get a start on HTML, go ahead and mix some CSS in, this will help HTML and CSS mesh together in your mind. Then I suggest you move onto Javascript then CakePHP then delve into PHP. Along this road you will need to learn about forums and content management systems to make a better developer of yourself.

You need to learn to work with FTP clients like FileZilla. Which is essentially your server's file system in a window...
