So you want to build a web page? I have set up some easy steps to make it very easy for a first time web page builder. Just follow along, and this should be painless.
#1. You need a place to store your page, Fortune City is a great place to start. Click on the below banner to get 20MEGS of FREE FORTUNE CITY WEB SPACE, its easy to sign up!

#2 I recommend getting a FTP program, I personally dont like using the web file transfer systems. I would recommend getting CuteFTP, you can download it from http://www.cuteftp.com . It is a great program.
#3 Unless you are a HTML guru, you should probably go with a web builder program, I like to use Microsoft Front Page 98. It has a nice interface, I think this runs about 50 bucks last time i checked.
#4 If you want some flashy graphics, you need the software. I personally use Photoshop, with Eyecandy plugins, you can do really cool stuff with it. You probably dont want to know how much it costs, *cough* 450$ *cough* . If you are a student, or a faculty member at a school you can get it at educational discount for around 125$.
This is all you need to build a basic web page, the best way to learn is by messing around, that is how i learned. After you build your site, upload it, and your set. The FTP address for Fortune City is ftp.fortunecity.com.
