Hi there,
I would like to try doing a small website using some free program on here
that is not overloaded with advertisements, just to practice creating a
first time "fun" website for me. Just to play with so that I can learn.
Since I quit AOL, I now have cox services but am not sure hot to use/set up
a web page there. Are there any other servers I can use for free that are
easy to learn
