So i was thinking of starting my own site. Not really a forum or anything, just a place where friends can share stuff    It would just be small and would only be certain people and i would like it to be password protectec if possible so no idiots can get in.

Of course the testmy.net people would be welcome.

So could somebody point me in the right direction as far as a template and free Space is concerned. And any tips you might have for a complete n00b

pretty sweet

heh thanks for the opinions on the site, i never took any html/web design classes or any of that, so i guess for just learning on my own its pretty good. as for gettings stuff from comp -> server, u can use ftp, they have alot of progys out there, i personaly use aceftp 3. as for code, there are alot of wysiswyg(say it like wizzywug) that is, What You See Is What You Get. where u can just throw stuff together, geocities has one of these built into their website, when u want to create your own, you just use their page builder. as for knowing the code, u dont really HAVE to, its just nice to so you can get what you are looking for. so if you are just looking for something very simple, u can use geocities's( http://www.geocities.com ) pagebuilder

back then geocities was the S#!t... Now everything has just gone downhill... If you dont have banners you get on a slow server... if you want a fast site then you get huge popus...
