There are many others but my favourites are Geocities and AOL. One you have picked your server, sign up! Now, I have a basic tutorial of how to start an HTML page. I have included not only the basics but a few things to make your page look *kewl* before you are able to do to much. Unlike some help pages, I have explained some things that got me started when I was beginning, so it's from a slightly different view. I highly suggest you go through the HTML Goodies Primers before you start. Another suggestion: open Notepad or something and minimize it so you can copy and paste any good codes. It may look like I have not included links and pictures, but I have, they are down the bottom. Well, here goes.

To make your text a bit more interesting you can make it bold, underlined, strikethrough, typewriter and/or italic.
How I did this:
Now I will show you headings:
How did I get this on the right?

Well, that about wraps up my Getting Started help. Most of these things are showed their simplest, there are somemore clever things you can do with them, though I am still learning myself. You can move on to my Tricks of the Trade, and even add a form on your page. I will become your HTML pal if you are beggining and would be happy to take you step-by-step through setting up, though I'm no expert. It depends if you like my page or not!!
