Ok I've had yzzim.com for long enough and think it's about time I put something up there.

I'll probably put up info about myself and stuff I'm interested in (xbox modding, various how-tos, and girls (;)) ).

How do most of you make your websites? Do you use a program to generate the html or do you write it yourself? If you use a program, which one?

Also, anyone know of any good info sources to teach someone how to make a website and to explain all the terms (php, mysql, etc etc etc)?

notepad and photoshop?!?!?! pfffftttt.....

I make my site by writing assembler so that there is no rendering to be done (mind you there are executables for all platforms). For images, I edit the binaries pixel by pixel

Dreamweaver to get general layout done, TopStyle Pro to hand code stuff, and Paint Shop Pro for images.

Make sure to ask RossMan if you have any questions, or myself.

Get Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and browse these sites:
javascript.internet.com
dynamicdrive.com

Start off with those sites, copy/learn from other sites BUT GIVE CREDIT unless its your own origional design. Just mess around with Dreamweaver and Photoshop. Also, in Dreamweaver learn to use table with a 0 border for designs, it'll help a lot in the beginning.

Dreamweaver and Photoshop are so expensive :Q

Thanks for the offer, btw :)

i use vi and notepad for code (usually vi, but if im feeling lazy and its just a minor update, then notepad) (both html and php)
apache for the webserver
postgresql for the db

though my webpage is really only a sort of a side project to help me keep track of my cd list.
