Staring your own website?

here are some questions that i have:
.how do i start a free website

.how do i get people to check it out

any thing else that maybe i should know?
any advice would be nice as long as its not rude
thank you very much

ohh and i have both a macbook and windows if that makes a differece

Since you don't' have much knowledge you could start with a blog.
Try wordpress http://wordpress.com/ or blogspot http://www.blogger.com/
They offer you free hosting and it's not that hard to get it started.
Good luck

Well, depends on what kind of website you want. The only free ones you'll get are stuff like Blogs.

Otherwise, you'll have to purchase a domain name (yourwebsitename.com). Then you will have to find a hosting company that will host your website and it's information on it's servers (this costs $ too). Then you will have to learn HTML code/Front Page (HTML editor) and then become good at web design (or hire someone to do it).

The best way to get people to check out the site is to be good at search engine optimization. This will get your site ranked highly in Google searches. Or, you can start a pay-per-click campaign. These are the ads you see on the side of Google searches. You pay for these ads. The more popular the keywords you choose for you website, the more expensive it gets.

As you can see, this isn't an easy task.

You should learn the standards, html and css is a abselute minimum, it wont take long to learn the basics, perhaps a few hours if you are focused.

There are many websites, which holds Tutorials/References for html and css, some of them includes:
http://www.w3cschool.com/ - (tutorials/references)
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/ - (Dave Raggett's Introduction to HTML)
www.w3.org/Style/Examples/011/firstcss - (Starting with HTML + CSS)

Getting somewhere to host your webside, such as http://www.one.com/ or http://www.godaddy.com/, would be the second step.

Dont wory about memorizing; you are far better off, using the referances on your first projects. Once you start getting more rutined, you will start to memorize the tags, and specifications you use the most.

Never resort to "WYSIWYG" editors, as those tend to cause all kinds of wired problems. All you really need is a text editor, such as notepad.

If you are going to use a free host, you must make shure that it will allow you to upload your own files, so that you can create your website on your own.

as the listed above
