Hey yall. First off I'd like to just say that I'm building a website. Now I don?t know which service I should go with, whether it be Tripod, Yahoo, or something with a user friendly page builder since I know only very basic html. I was wondering if any page builders allow importation of templates located on the internet. Also, if you have any recommendations as to who to buy a domain from, I?d like to hear ?em! Thanks

Just use something like Lycos and upload the templates. Use Dreamweaver to edit them. Usually I'd suggest notepad for hard-coding, but that wouldn't be fun for ya.

Dreamweaver is an application that you use to edit html/css/php files. Once you've created/modified these files, you can upload them to various places, including Lycos.

Personally I use an Apache server.

Click to expand...

1) Register a domain through NameCheap.com
2) You'll need a web host, avoid the free crappy web hosts which has ads or weird subdomains.
DeviousTrap offers FREE WEB HOSTING for AT'ers or you could find affordable hosting from HostPC.com which offers a website builder.
3) If you take advantage of DeviousTrap's free web hosting offer, take a look at EasySite templates.

Hope that helps, let us know if you have any questions :)
