I'm looking for a program to help build a small personnal website for my family, I know nothing about html. So A program that does just about everything for you would be great (and doesn't cost an arm and a leg! ;) Thanks.

If you already have Windows Office you should have Frontpage - which is a WYSIWYG editor (No HTML knowledge needed)

FrontPage is a seperate product in the 2000 package unless you have the full suite. I would recommend FrontPage or Dreamweaver for noobs.

Check your ISP, they might offer free space and site building tools. Verizon does, and it offers "Trellix" which works pretty well, very easy to use and lots of templates too.

I used both Front Page and Dreamweaver. Probably Front Page is the easiest to use for a complete novice. It is certainly readily available and there are tons of people who know how to use it to offer you assistance. Just stay away from the "update all hyperlinks" button!

Here is one that's absolutely free, I've been fiddling with it for a couple of weeks. The features are GREAT and it is easy to use, but so far the documentation is a little scant.

Comes in Windows, Linux and Mac flavors too.

Office 2000, the Word Portion of Office 2000 has a built-in Webpage editor. Easy as using Word itself, just go to the Wizard for New Document and Select the type of page you want and tell it what to name it and where you want it. Replace the text and you have it done.

Another option is to use Mozilla, or Firefox and use the Composer TOOLS at the top. Drag and drop.
