Default Some advice

I just had a buddy offer me 1gb of free webspace to host a site. So I'm gonna build one for the hell of it. Now, Ihave no HTML skills at all, so what would be a good program for me to use. I've played with Front Page before and it was failry basic, is there anything else that you all would recommend?

I have Macromedia Dreamweaver and Adobe GoLive!, one of which is a surprisingly legal copy. I used Frontpage before, but these two seem a lot more complex, if a little harder to use, sort of the difference between Photoshop and MSPaint. I haven't really used GoLive seriously yet, but I had some success with Dreamweaver. Best advice I can give you is to get 'em both and see which one you like.

Frontpage. Yuck.

Personally, I'd spend a few minutes at webmonkey and w3schools to learn HTML, but that's just me.

I'd like to, but really, I don't have the time to learn it. And besides, it sounds so much easier to just use a program as opposed to writing it all out in HTML.

I can more or less do both, I sorta figured it out by looking at the "view source" on the pages. Sometimes it's better to input the code yourself as it's a little more precise, and frontpage etc can be a little buggy when they're acctually online.

I dunno. It took me longer to learn how to use some of those WYSWYG editors than it did to actually learn HTML. And since I type faster than I think, it takes me less time to get a basic page done 'bare' than it does with an editor.

My suggestion would be to ignore Front Page as much as possible, though. Both GoLive and Dreamweaver are much better products, and output better (less bloated) code.

Also, check out CoffeeCup editor. Last I heard, it was a really good free one. You'll have to Google for it, though.
