I can do it, but I'm so slow I wouldn't recommend me. I personally like pages that are mostly HTML, and therefore fast. Especially any home page.
As a user, when the home page doesn't come up fast, I'm outta there. You can do some beautiful things with just text and images. Simple is good. Actual content is better than empty Flash.

I completely agree. A page with 90 percent HTML will load soooo much faster.
I'm also going to put a counter at the bottom.

For goodness sake, if you want to push information check out POSTNUKE!!!
http://news.postnuke.com/ It's a variant of PHPNuke
http://www.phpnuke.com It is the coolest thing... very modular... little technical knowlege required... tons of features that would take months to do in HTML (like public calendars, message boards, galleries, newsfeeds etc...
Best of all, it's dynamic - so your content stays fresh and can be updated by lowly moderators from the web.
Even better... it's free.
Freepmail me if you want more info (it's not my product, I'm just a 4 month+ user)

Just a suggestion. Consider using an HTML tool to help you write the HTML code. Look at FrontPage or Dreamweaver. Your school may have available copies. Much better way to build sites.
When you are ready to go to the next level look at server-side code such as ASP.NET, PHP, J2EE, etc. I prefer ASP.NET but there are lots to choose from. Server-side is used by most commercial sites for a lot of reasons.

Thanks. My School has a very updated version of Frontpage that I am considering using.

Frontpage. I have a computer guru friend who helps me out when I have computer problems.
He said that the best testimonial to Frontpage is that a computer incompetent klutz like myself can put up and maintain a website. Nothing more needs to be said about Frontpage. - Tom

I suggest that you get a cms (content management system) - perhaps mambo (GPL (free) and fast php code) and customize it (pick a theme, customize the graphics, and the css, and the "content".)
That way - you can pass the torch when you graduate, and decentralize content creation. Even freshman will be able to maintain the website, and items can be publish WHILE you are on spring break.
I really think you'll be pleased with Mambo
Other CMS systems exist - some better, some worse. Mambo is one of the better free packages out there, easy to setup, easy to maintain, and easy to customize.

Very interesting. I'll check into that as well. Might use it as well as the current pages I've got.

In order to make a web site with multiple pages, or to link to other sites, you must know how to make a link. Links are rather simple when they reach internal or exterior pages, but when they are in the same page, they become harder. There is also mailto links, that allow people to send you mail by clicking on the link.
page name makes a link to a page outside of yours.
page name makes a link to a page inside your domain.
page name makes an anchor to a part of your page. Place this where you want the internal link to appear.
anchor name makes a link to the anchor. Place where you want the link to send the user to.

Go to
www.gopweb.com and sign up. It costs about $16 per month. They'll set you up with a basic Republican organization website that requires little if any HTML skills. But if you do know HTML, PHP, and MYSQL you can customize the site to be whatever you want it to be.

a
href="mailto:your@email.com> email me </a> sends an email to you, through a link.
a href="
http://www.pagename.com"> page name </a> makes a link to a page outside of yours.
a href="filename.html"> page name </a> makes a link to a page inside your domain.
a name="anchorname"> page name </a> makes an anchor to a part of your page.
Place this where you want the internal link to appear.
a href="#anchorname"> anchor name </a> makes a link to the anchor.
Place where you want the link to send the user to.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into that as well. I know basic HTML, and some of the more complicated stuff as well.

You can see if your school has Visual Studios .NET. ASP.NET is sweet but there is a higher learning curve. However, it allows for full-blown programming behind the scenes and is definitely better if you are ever interested in a career in the web world.

I personally like pages that are mostly HTML Agreed. Less likely to crash other systems, too. Stay with jpegs and animaged gifs and forget the fancy stuff as it often takes many people way too long to load (learn java script). For style, go here:
http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/
"Web Pages That Suck" should be required reading for all web page designers. Teaches you how to make interesting, catchy web pages by showing you bad examples :-) It's a fun and humorous site. Since 1996.
Oh... and always always *always* use spell-and-check.
