    Hi, Kim. Since our DSL service is tied to Yahoo - our provider does
    the hardware, but they contracted Yahoo to do the software - we went
    there for our web hosting. There are, as you know, thousands of
    people hosting sites - about half of them are resellers. Look heRe:
    webhosting.yahoo.com/cp/create for the tools Yahoo provides. It's
    pretty simple, looks like. I'd suggest that you get a book about web
    sites, though, even if it's Dreamweaver or something - I'm sure there
    are "How to make a web site" books out there. Just to get a handle on
    how things are handled, how the server thing works, uploading files,
    linking, index.html, etc. It's really not that complicated. That is,
    the framework isn't complicated. I'll say again as I've said here
    before, that Dreamweaver isn't really all that hard to learn, and it
    does just what you ask once you get the hang of it. If you make a
    hyperlink or a picture, you just select it, and then down below where
    it says Link, you just drag the arrow over to the page you want to
    link, and it goes Bang, and links it. Stuff like that. Here's the
    framework, though: Your home page is always called index.html or
    index.htm. You make twelve other pages (say). One is called
    aboutme.html, one is gallery.html, one is links.html, etc. You make a
    menu on index.html with buttons for hyperlinks. Then you assign the
    About Me button to link to aboutme.html, and maybe there's a button
    on that page for My Artwork. You make a page that's myartwork.html,
    and assign the button to link to THAT page, and on and on. And make
    sure that every page has a Home button that links to index.html. On
    the Links page, if you put a reference to Ganoksin, then you link
    that reference (make the text a hyperlink) to www.ganoksin.com, and
    when someone clicks it, bang, they go to www.ganoksin.com. That's
    really all there is to it. The complexity is in gathering and
    arranging your content, and making sure everything is linked properly
    and all. Dreamweaver and others no doubt has a link checker that
    looks for orphan links and pages - stuff like that.
