Frontpage is easy. Do you have Microsoft Word? It's actually a LOT like that program. To add pics, you click the little picture icon, to make text bold, or to center it, everything is at the menu at the top. To change the page background, you right-click on the page and go to Page Properties. The program is pretty self-explanatory... BUT, the thing with using an off-line website builder is that you will need to get an FTP program to upload your website onto the internet. There are plenty of free ones you can get. Basically, you log on using your name, website address, and stuff, and then you find the folder that your website is located in, and you upload it.

I was also using geocities for a while. Then I got a GREAT host ((Audrey ))... and then I thought it would be fun to get my OWN website too... Ashley recommended a good, very cheap host here:
http://magicomm.net/

I get 200MB of space for only $1 a month, and buying my own domain was like $7... The only problem with them is that, apparently, their tech support sucks.... But I haven't had any problems because I'm pretty much on my own and I pay by credit card and do everything myself... And when I DID have a question, they did eventually reply...

So with the host - it depends on how much you're willing to spend, and how much space you need.

I hope that helped...
If you have any other questions, you can IM me... You know my sn...
