I'm trying to learn HTML and set up a web site.
Can anyone recommend a free, easy-to-use editor? I've heard Front Page was good but that isn't made any more.

learning “html” and building a website is two different thing.
if REALLY want to learn “html” then use notepad.
i think what you want is a WYSIWYG editor and in that case chooses are limitless.

I was wondering about OpenCD, now your link answered it.
NVu is a good utility for n00bs. SoucreForge is good for Open Source software, also.
Best recommendation for a pure n00b though, is to get your websire from a host that has a multitutde of web learning and creation utilities, like allwebco.com for instance. They’ll hold your hand while your learn.
Good luck.

As someone else pointed out: these two goals can be the same, or completely different.
If all you want to do is quickly build a website, by all means, use one of the WYSISYG editors. Any of the suggestions posted above will likely work well.
If you actually want to learn and understand HTML, though, I'd seriously consider just using a text editor (especially one that highlights HTML syntax), and start experimenting.
HTML is easy to learn-- and takes awhile to master-- like everything else.
I've found this site to be invaluable, both in their tutorials, and as a reference.
Aside from that, simply right-click on a page, and View Source when you find something interesting.

Here's what I did. I grabbed myself a free template from
here, then customized it with Quanta (or Nvu).

Great minds think alike - that was going to be my suggestion!

Thanks! I hadn’t known about that site before. It’s been bookmarked.

I'm still trying to get the hang of Xinha editor (a firefox thingy).

I like
KompoZer on the rare occasion when I'm not directly editing HTML with a text editor.

You could try out
SeaMonkey, a Mozilla-based browser which includes an HTML editor. It has a WYSIWYG (visual) mode as well as the ability to edit the raw HTML directly. You can flip between the two modes.
