Post by: Spikes on August 30, 2008, 12:47:34 AM: I can make the site if you can get the host.
Click my sig. Made that.
Edit: I suggest a paid host like lunarpages or hostgator, cheap and no ads or anything. Most free hosts you'll end up getting a banner at the top or bottom or something.

Post by: Estes on August 31, 2008, 08:05:17 PM: I suggest hostultra. They have nicely priced webspace packages, and offer domain names for a good price.
I run three sites off them.
The sapp site www.secretassociation.org
The 80th site www.80thfsheadhunters.com
and the AoAH site www.acesofaceshigh.com

I also suggest taking Gixers advice, notepad days are over. Much easier to just use an editor (frontpage, dreamweaver) etc.,
I actually use several different website editors, coffeecup has a nice editor that isn't priced too high.

Registration gets you a lighter wallet and a few whiz-bang toys, should you be so inclined.

When did I ever say anything about paying? Yes I agree you'd be crazy to pay for a program that writes HTML but it does more then just convert to HTML code, and the entire suite is excellent.
