Hi everyone,

I have recently purchased a website from 123 reg. The problem now is what the heck i do next! I have always wanted to build my own website and now i have purchased my site, i haven't got a clue where to start! I have looked at some forums and stuff but this HTML thingy, and code this and code that, XHTML........etc, just gets me confused!
I would say i have good computer knowledge and can manage to do most things with mine, but i cant seem to get my head round this! I really dont want to pay someone else to do it, plus i really wanted to do it myself, but is it possible for someone like me?

Hi 123reg.

Firstly Is your domain name and web hosting set up already?
Secondly if it is set up and you are ready to upload files, you can do one of the follows.
1. Use website builder your webhost has provides ( most of them does these days )
2. Download a trail version of Adobe dreamweaver and start making out your website. Once you are ready upload the html files..

Its quite hard to explain through Answers... but if you every need a web designer you can always contact me :) i'm willing to do it for at least USD$300 [email protected]
 
You can read 'Dummies' (don't take that name personally) books which regard anything about the Computing world. Some helpful one's are:

HTML for Dummies
XHTML for Dummies
CSS for Dummies
The World Wide Web for Dummies

You can find either of these books at your local book retailer.
