:helpsmile:

Thanks for having a look at my thread

I wanna make a website for my band and although ive been tinkering with computers for around 6 years ive never tried to make a website. Ive heard you can download a program to do it and was wandering which is the easiest/best one to use?
Any suggestions? (Im using win2kpro with 512k cable)

If you want a WYSIWYG Editor (What you see is what you get) I would suggest either Macromedia Dreamweaver, or Microsoft Frontpage; If I were you I would recommend Dramweaver, as it is a better program IMHO.

However, you may want to learn the HTML and the basics(instead of using a program to code for you) to start designing a web page. You can find good tutorails on HTML via Google.

FrontPage... how can you give the innocent sheep advice like that?

Once you learn HTML, you'll find that WYSIWYG editors actually restrict you. This is when EMACS / Notepad / Joe etc. become your best friend.

thanks for the advice!
Im gonna have a look at html now see how hard it seems. If it looks like it'll take more than a couple o'days to learn to a usable standard I think ill just use a program. Would be cool though if some one asks me if I know about computers I can say YES! I CODE HTML B)

I know, I know. FrontPage is horrible.

I was just listing two of the most popular for newbies.

LOL. I'm just basing my opinion on reputation. I avoid Windows like the plague.
