Tracy Depends on what you are trying to achieve :-) If you just want a simple site, and you're happy with hacking some of the HTML yourself (and it's always a good place to start when build your first web-site, you learn a heap along the way), then NVu/Mozilla Composer, Quanta, or Screem are popular choices. Quanta is very powerful stuff, it's widely considered the best web development environment on Linux, and has recently gained a WYSIWYG composer, but is really a bit much for a newbie or a simple site. For newbies, NVu is probably best bet IMHO, it's WYSIWYG, but also has good hand-coding tools. After you get more than a few pages on your site, managing them all can be a bit of a pain, and adding fancy features gets time consuming, especially if you are not great shakes at graphics or coding. A step up from individually maintained pages are PHP applications. PHP is a programming language that can generate HTML pages on the fly. Many PHP based web-applications also use a MySQL database backend for storing data. These apps can be anything from a simple blog, to a photo gallery, to a Wiki, to a forum, to a full-blown Content Management System combining all these, with many special areas in-between like genealogy sites, project management and auction sites. The CMS I use, for example, has easy to use modules for add-ons like themes, stock-tickers, weather reports, image galleries, forums, chatboxes, member registration, comments, e-store, etc. Setting up a PHP application can be as simple as copying a few files to the web server and then using your browser to login and tweak the settings. Most web hosts will have some applicatons pre-installed, many through a sevice called Fantastico. The hosting is pretty cheap too, I pay US$6 a month for PHP/mySQL hosting with 1Gb storage and 10Gb bandwidth. Popular, easy-to-use, free CMS's I'd recommend are Mambo and Drupal, which are able to serve as anything from a simple blog to a full blown community or web-shop. Of course, this could be way more than you're wanting, but if you're planning anything more than just a simple 'Hello World' page it may be worth looking into. Cheers!
