Hi Vince They are useful, thanks. I just want something tidy but simple. I have the domain name organised, so just require a template from which to build the site content. I did have a website a long time ago which I created in Word and saved as HTML. The links drove me mad though, it put a lot of crap in that I didn't want, I am not going down that road again! I have downloaded WordPress, and may install it if people think this is the right way to proceed.

Jackie, Having looked at HTML code with the old Frontpage edito and grasped some of the ways HTML could be put together, honestly, the only software I generally use is Notepad. I admit that this is possibly doing it the hard way. I also use a fearfully out-of-date html editor called Arachnophilia 4, one of the advantages of which is that you can edit your whole site at once, and cut and paste across groups of files. Don't whatever you do save Word documents as HTML, as Microsoft's idea of HTML is whacky, and you'lll get loads of errors if you try to validate your pages. Blogging sites take all the work out of it, really. All you need do in Wordpress or Blogger is write your stuff in plain text, and the blogging software will present it in web page format. Not sure where you're coming from for this, so hope those are useful pointers.

Apologies for cross-posting, but I am very keen to know what software people use to create their own website once they have space to upload it. I know there have been threads on Word Press, but I haven't followed them to be honest. Thoughts and suggestions welcome please.
