hiya stream,

well the 1st thing is which site are you using for the design? a free one ? if so i recommend angelfire. For the basics youre probarbly best off using the dynamic drive website, it has all the simple html and xml codes you desire right through to the advanced ones. Hope this gives you a starting base

Adobe Dreamweaver is the best streams ;-)

Hey stream did you manage to create a site?

Hi StreamLine:)
you know e107?
its good..mutch themes and izi (Y)

lycos also has a free pagebuilder called tripod or trellix.  But if you wanna do it the manual way then you'll hafta buy/rent a server and domain and whatnot, and learn yourself some html and possibly java, flash, and maybe  VB and .net depending on how much you wanna do.
