Probably the easiest for a website newbie to learn the ropes is to get a free
website at Geocities. Geocities offers two website editing tools: a very
basic WYSIWYG and a more robust HTML Code editor.
Don't be afraid of an HTML code editor. They give infinitely more control than
a WYSIWYG tool. Geocities has links to several very well written recipe style
HTML manuals (to do a function: step 1, step 2, etc.)
But to get started, look at websites that you like. Decide what you want your
site to look like and then plan.
I'm sure I'll get lots of gruff for this, but when developing your website,
there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. Save the HTML code of sites that you
like (with a site displayed in your browser, click File: Save As) to see how
they were put together and reuse that code in your site. I am not suggesting
that you steal content, only reuse the architecture.
Hopefully this helps.
