How to make a website using free web hosts

Solaris you said how you got your first website domain at the age of 9, how did you afford something like vBulletin? It's like £100... What domain did you use?

I didn't use vbulletin...when did I say that? :P

I bought solarisdesigns.net and a server, and just uploaded my stuff. Owned that domain for a good 7 years before my hoster left business, and I moved to flashadvocate.com

yeah, I've accidentally tapped in the editor and seen my whole website go to hell. Not quite the same as what you were talking about, but hey :P I use it now just to locate stuff in the code, when it starts to get pretty large.

Yeah, DW is EXCELLENT for css however ;) And firebug :P

If you know what your doing notepad++ works wonders, i use dreamweaver but i always use the text editor. If you find it difficult to code in html i personally would go and read some tutorials before even thinking about creating a site.(if i catch anyone saying they only use notepad to code i will hunt them down and use there computer to download ripped music)

I used notepad for years. lol. Notepad++ is nice because of the syntax coloring. Makes it easier to read and tidy up code.

notepad was useful way back, but when designing professionally taking extra minutes looking over your code is not needed with the new text editors.

for those who have not visited go here to find notepad++

I'll just play around with the page my Dad gives me from his site and go from there.

Good luck with it carn.

And like my old colleagues used to say "it doesnt matter how cool your editor is, in the end all that matters is what you put in it" :)
