I've not really been asleep, honest!  After doing a serious amount of digging, it's starting to look horribly like Frontpage Express was discontinued after Win98!

Until a better freebie turns up, here's Arachnophilia to play with in the meantime.  Recommend you do a bit of swotting-up first, Whiskas.   ;)

I did a search for frontpage Simon but I guess it doesn't come with win me. I have a web publishing wizard on my accessories but is that just for uploading.  ???

See above, Lona.  Don't know about ME, never used it.  Seems Frontpage Express died with W98, like Rodders said.   :'(

That's a bridge we'll cross when we come to it, Whiskas.  Once you've got your page(s) looking good and working properly, it's just a matter of downloading one of the free FTP clients to upload your stuff to your webspace.

You can even use Internet Explorer to do it, if you add the FTP address of your webspace to your Favorites folder.  I often use this method for 'quick and dirty' results.   8)

I've got a script that allows you to upload straight from your computer to the website.  There's no hastle involved, all you have to do is click browse, find the file on your hard drive and click go.

test it here:  http://www.raid-designs.co.uk/uploads/upload.php

Well I found www.tripod.lycos.com which is free and has a site builder which does it all for you.

I had a go at it and it was really simple although a bit slow. My only problem now is what to put on it ;D so far just a load of drivel but it will do until I learn how to do it properly.

My site is hosted at Lycos ... but I haven't done much to it for a looooooong time. I must get my files from the other PC and do a lot more work on it. I used Dreamweaver 4 to create mine tho


I must get the files and change the advert tho  ::)  ... it has been a long time since I did any work on it  :-[

I remember years ago there were sites like Geocities and such all over the place. Unfortunatly I dont know many free places since I have been hosting my own domains for many years now. My Personal Site and My Computer Site.

Best of luck trying to find a host. Programs to build a site are also not my specialty. I know of things like dreamweaver and frontpage but not experienced with them. To build a site I usually design a template in Photoshop then cut the template and code it in notepad then I transfer it to a webserver and use something called telnet to program in linux on a program called pico and somtimes vi. But I dont think its an idiot proof method.
