I want my own website. I have no clue where to start, but I'm willing to learn. Can anyone point me in the right direction? |

You can't go wrong with Wordpress. The platform is extremely user-friendly and you can avoid code 100% while still being able to do some cool **** through the use of free plugins. I use it every day developing websites for everything from doctors to surf shops. http://en.wordpress.com/signup/ Make sure you understand the difference between a post (typical blog, updated dynamically) and a page (static): http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ |

Isn't that like livejournal.com? They only give you 3gb of space. I'll need more for pics, videos, mp3s, etc. That might be a good place to start though. Thank you Lenas. |

3gb of space because the hosting is free, yes. If you want more space, you'll need your own hosting. If you have your own hosting, you'll need a domain name to tie it to. Domains are generally $5-9 for a year. Basic file hosting packages are usually $5-10 a month. I recommend HostGator for hosting options, I've been using them for years and no complaints. If you decide to go this route, I'll offer my time to set up a wordpress install for you np np. |

Wow, you get 3GB for free now days? Last time I was setting up a free site it was something like 50MB. What a time to be alive! |

Thanks Lenas. I poked around there a little bit and saw that I could add video hosting for $59 a year and a few other things. I definitely want more than just a blog, and after looking a little bit I can see what you mean about wordpress. As soon as I figure out exactly what I want I may take you up on your offer if it still stands; thank you. |
