Hi, noobish question here, but can anyone give me a list of steps to start setting up a site.
Thanks

If you're just starting up then you'll have to learn a few things. For starters you need to learn HTML and CSS, this way you can have some content and style to your site. Once you've grasped the basics you'll have to upload your files to the site with a ftp client. As you advance you might need some PHP knowledge, and/or a CMS to easily update your site.

Or if you can't be bothered learning this you have two more options:
1) Use a CMS (Content Management System) such as wordpress, E107 etc... This means you just upload the files, run the install file and then you can start posting content on your site.

2) Create a site in a wizard such as Dreamweaver, Front page etc... (Not the preferred way, but will get you started).

Or pay someone to do it for you (Like me)

It is not so tough,

First find and download a free website template from the internet ,there are thousands of freely available template,select the one you like.

Then integrate with a suitable CMS that you would prefer ,it would make editing and updating your web site much easier . some examples of CMSs are joomla , drupal and zimplit
