Hey, How do I build my own webpage?

I can give you some tips for getting started. When I first started a couldn't afford an HTML editor, so I learned to code from scratch. I would suggest that you read up a bit on HTML and how it works even if you decide to go straight for the HTML Editor. The reason I suggest this is in every editor you get some funky things that sometimes happen. If you know a bit about HTML then you can sometimes trouble shoot what's going on. You don't have to know alot about it, but knowing a bit about how HTML codes work will really help you keep from throwing you computer out the window at some point in the future ;-)

LEARNING HTML - You can create a webpage on your own by learning HTML and using the program NOTEPAD, which every computer comes with. Well, I should clarify and say - ever PC comes with. Don't ask me about MACs - I am clueless about Mac computers ;-)
Keep in mind HTML will take a couple months to learn. Greatest html resource ever!- http://www.htmlgoodies.com

BUYING AN HTML EDITOR - This is by far the fastest way to make your own page. There is still a learning curve, but you don't have to strain your brain with typing in codes. Instead you use menus to click and have things happen ;-) It's HTML made easy.

Some hosting packages come with an online HTML editor. Yahoo hosting is one of them. They HTML editor is build it and you can access it and build you page from the net. If you don't have a hosting with its own HTML editor than you have to buy one.

There are tons of HTML editors out there. And they vary in price from $99.00 to $299.00.I have friends that love Coffee Cup. I know people that swear by FrontPage. If you ask me what I use I will have to admit I am a software snob. I started coding html from scratch but then when
I started to get some clients I saved up and bought the software that alot of professional webdesigners use - MacroMedia's Dreamweaver. The only problem is it's expensive - $299.00 f0r regular version. I was teaching at the college so I could get the academic version - $99.00
Tip: If you are taking a class or you are a teacher you can buy academic software anytime - http://www.studentdiscounts.com/.

But alot of people say that dreamweaver is very hard for them to use. Really what I would do is look around for the 30 day trials of different HTML editors. Download a bunch of HTML free 30 trial software and see which you like best.

You have to find what works best for you.
