The options for setting up a website are as varied as the options for choosing a car. Choose what you think your needs are from the left-hand column and follow the instructions in that row. \n\nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI'm a student and need to be able to put my class projects on a website. \n\nI just want to set up a personal site with a few photos and some generic information. \n\nI'm campaigning for public office and don't want to spend any money on the Internet, but someone told me I need a website. \n\nThere's no way I'm going to spend anything on building a website, but I'm sure I need one.  Free websites are available everywhere. You'll need to spend at least half an hour to set up what you want, but you don't need any special skills. Your only investment is time.  Go to Geocities or Angelfire and follow their very simple step-by-step instructions for setting up a website. If you can follow directions, you can put up a website with one of these services. There are plenty of others available, but these two are the best-known. \n\nWhen you're done, be sure to add the address of your website to the signature line on your e-mail. If you have business stationery or other printed literature, put it there as well. It's just about the only way anyone will find your site. \n\nIf you know anyone with a website, ask them nicely if they would mind giving you a link. Unless some other site links to yours, the search engines will never find it. \n\nExpect to grow annoyed with the ads on your site. Free web hosts use pop-up ads, pop-under ads, and banners built-in to your pages in order to pay for their services. If you're not bothered, don't worry about them. Most users eventually grow tired of them.  Don't expect a lot of visitors. Your address will be long and hard to remember, so unless someone is really intent on finding your site, not many folks will visit. \n\nDon't expect to be taken very seriously. If you aren't willing to put any money into your site, don't expect visitors to think you're an authority. \n\nDon't get caught up in design. There's not much you can do to make your free site look great. Just put the basic information up and see whether it does the trick for you. Crazy backgrounds, wild color schemes, lots of pictures, and sounds that play whenever people visit your site will only serve to irritate. Keep it simple. \n\nDon't forget to add content. Since your page probably doesn't look very special, be sure to add things to it often enough that it serves a real purpose. \n\nDon't put your e-mail address on the page. Anywhere. If you do, you'll get so much spam you'll never forgive yourself.  \nWho You Are  What You'll Need to Invest  Do This  Don't Do This  \nI have a lot to say, and I want to blog.  As little as nothing. Some fees may apply, especially as you become more sophisticated. Expect it to become a regular consumer of your time.  Go to Blogger or TypePad or LiveJournal and follow their instructions. \n\nHave something interesting to say, and often. Keep your site fresh. Political campaigns and businesses are starting to realize the power of fresh information posted to people who actively want to follow what's happening directly from the source. \n\nYou may eventually decide to go solo and run your personal site without someone else's software or hosting. When that time comes, use PairNIC to register your domain and Pair Networks to host your site. Their prices are excellent and so is their service.  Don't expect it to be easy. Well-done blogs often absorb lots of their authors' time. \n\nDon't post so often that you create unreasonable expectations. Sandbag a little until you're comfortable with the amount of time you dedicate to your blog. \n\nDon't divulge personal secrets, proprietary information, or national secrets. Serio

set up a web site and a name first

You have two options.\n\n   1.  You can take the sissy route and goto http://www.geocities.com and drop and drag your website.\n\n   2. You can take the worthwhile route and learn HTML. Just google "html tutorial" and they'll tell you how to do everything. All you need is Notepad and a Browser. Of course, other things will come in handy. To make a website look spectacular, you'll probably need to make your own graphics and borders and stuff. Technically you could take 'em off http://www.flamingtext.com, but I find that drawing my own stuff with The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org) gives me a better sense of accomplishment.\n\nSince you're making "your own" website, you probably want to go the second route.\n\nOnce you've made your website, however, you'll need to stick it online somewhere. There are places that will do this for you called "Web Hosting Services". The better of these charge you a fee to use them, but there are some that offer free alternatives. Usually, the free alternatives involve placing an ugly ad at the top of your page and polluting it with annoying pop-ups, but, if you look carefully, there are some free ones that are just great.\n\nSo, good luck!

http://www.geocities.com\nThat's actually Yahoo Geocities now, but the link should automatically forward, and you can start your own page there.  Very easy with the SiteBuilder & other tools.  You can also use HTML if you choose  :-)

I high encourage you to do your research and shop and compare.\n\nI'm just supplying you with just another resource here and I'm not selling anything nor am I promoting it.
