I agree Alex will do you right. If you want to try something really easy, and you have access to microsoft Word, the program has a wizard to help you design a web page. It is
amazingly easy requiring no skill and only a little imagination.
As for somewhere to put it when it's done, there are free places but they all have that annoying advertising that your visitors are subjected to. They may be OK to see how it will work but don't put too much into promoting the site because you won't be happy with it for long.
Many internet service providers include free web space with their dial-up accounts. If you have this, you may as well use it. No advertising to worry about and at least a limited support service. Go ahead and promote that site if you feel your relationship with your ISP is fairly stable.
Eventually, you will want your own domain. Not only does it look more professional but it has all important portability. If you use the free web space from your ISP your address would be something like
www.aol.com/knifedude/
That is fine unless you get unhappy with AOL or get a better deal somewhere else. All the search engines, page links, brochures, business cards etc still point to your AOL site - which now says 'no such user'.
With your own domain, you would be at
www.knifedude.com (or whatever) and you can carry that with you nomatter who hosts your domain. The address is yours and all your promotional work is secure nomatter where you go.
Enjoy - whichever route you choose.
Rob!
