I want to start messing about with creating websites, having never attemped that kind of thing before.

Where's the best place to get a little bit of free space to start off with? (least annoying adverts etc.)

Cheers

free and no pop ups you gotta be joking ;]

if you want help making a site there are loads of tutorial sites for beginers to learn off just do a search in google

The easiest it to get hold of a copy of a WYSIWYG application, such as Dreamweaver, and get used to it. It's almost like writing a doc file, but then, you can just start playing with it and do decent things.

Show as your tests thou ..

As a techie I'd say go and get a book like HTML for dummies.

Somehow I knew "html for dummies" would be a real book!

I think i'd prefer to have a "hard copy" reference. Shopping trip on Monday.

There is a "Creating webpages for dummies book" that is 9 books in one has one book on HTML along with several other ways you can go about your project.

sorry to piggy back the thread but on the same lines what service is worth paying for if i am new to websites. I wanted a simple package where i could host a gallery of teams i am painting and maybe a brief now to guide etc...
All the service providers i have look at offer so many optional extras it is difficult to know what kind of package to look for. I access my internet through Blueyonder broadband, i noted that grumbledook sujested i may be able to get webstace through them. Any help would be apriciated thank you.
