no Ross, I don't

Is there really that much to say? I figured I just need to buy a domain first but I guess that wouldn't make sense

EDIT: And holy crap you have over 65k posts, I just noticed that

OK, uh, so how can I make a layout so I can then later transfer it online?

What do I do in Windows to do this? (basically have the site ready, then transfer it when I get a domain and host)

My attempt to display raw code failed. < img ess are see =

See, I don't know HTML but I won't be needing it, I'd just like to use some easy program to have some pictures and links.

Is there anyway I can just see a page, put in whatever I need, and then later upload the stuff online for when I have a domain/host?

This coming from the person offering free web hosting for AT members? I'm not sure if I should be shocked or unphased (because this is ATOT). Either way, its a shame that you would reply the way you did yet you are doing ATOT such a "service".

Why?:confused:

What is so hard about do research and reading? There are countless websites on the subject too.

I'm just confused why some people just can't be more assertive...

In this case I think no suggestion is better than your suggestion. 1997, hehehe.

No need to get mad at one another, I am the noob here (for websites that is)

I think I have it all figured out, I'm using KompoZer and it's exactly what I want/needed, so I should be good.
