Getting Started
Heres My version of how to get your own website made and what you need:
Step 1:
First of all you need to find a suitable host for your website. Visit some of the sites below.
- http://www.geocities.com
- http://www.freewebs.com
- http://www.angelfire.com
- http://www.matmice.com
- http://www.angeltowns.com

Step 2:
You need to choose a subject and name for your website. Subject meaning what the contents of your website will have and what it is all about. Some examples:
- Graphics
- Blog site. A page which is mainly about you, family and friends etc.
- Dolls
- Clique
- Fanlisting
- Web Designs [layouts]
Just something you <3 doing.
Step 3:
The links I've provided above all have free page builders for you. But if you know how to use html, you can make your own layout using an html editor, and again the above links all provide an html editor.
I provide free layouts. Click Here
Step 4:
You need a few webtools such as:

[where people can leave Feedback and let you know what they thought of your website.]
- Message Board
[So people can leave you a brief message, suggestion or questions]

[Count the number of hits to your website]
