Hi Carla (& everyone else),

>     "Are there places out there that allow you to "do" your own
>     website? " 

    LOTS! if you don't mind the adds there are free places like: 

    www.geocities.com
    www.bravehost.com

    sorry - that's just the first two off the top of my head - google
    'free hosting' and you'll be bombarded - most of which come with
    their own point and click site builders, but you can also get in
    there with a bit of html if you want (great way to learn the basics
    of html is to make minor alterations to something already done (ie.
    you see a spelling error on your page, rather than taking the easy
    way, switch to html view and fix it in there) 

    there's also things like 

    www.myspace.com
    www.bebo.com

    which are both 'networking' sites - but do allow for really easy
    uploads, no html and you can get running in about 10 minutes (you
    can't do anything really fancy without being a bit of a graphics
    wizz, but that's ok) and are great for a personal site with lots of
    photos (you can restrict who can view your site and/or certain photo
    albums) 

    Most hosts offer some sort of shopping cart (I think you can even
    get one directly from paypal now), photo gallerys, guest books etc 

    On the shopping cart query - I'm a fan of cube cart www.cubecart.com
    - but like the others, not so easy to customise the graphics and the
    layout, but very easy to upload stock, change text etc (and they've
    got a great forum full of people used to begginers questions... sort
    of like orchid really! lol)
